I heard scorpions can produce scorplings without a mate. Which species of scorpions can do so? Or do all scorpions self reproduce? Scorpion newbie here

Some species can produce without a mate through a process called Parthenogenesis. I know some tityus species such as tityus stigmurus reproduce this way. But i know there's more out there. It's pretty rare in scorpions though

If you use this sites "search" function, type; Parthenogenetic Scorpions. Travis K posted a list of scorp species having this ability. I believe most are hot species, not recommended for a beginner. Only been keeping scorpions a year myself.
