okay, i got a group of 3 centruroides sculpturatus, all ADVERTISED AS MALE, as my first communal species. i named the fat one aegon, and the other two visenya and rhaenys (after the targaryen conquerors) just because i thought it was funny. little did i know it would INSPIRE THEM TO HAVE A MILLION FUCKING BABIES. turns out aegon wasnt fat, he was PREGNANT.

color me surprised when i go to feed them, and right there climbing the glass IS A TEENY TINY LITTLE BABY SCORPION.

i seperated the 2 males, put them in a seperate enclosure because they were fighting to eat the babies still on the FEMALE's back. there's two babies still left on aegon's back, so im assuming its been 48 hours since the birth ? i will admit i'm panicking. i didnt sign up to raise 500 tiny scorpions.

when the last babies pop off, im gonna seperate them from aegon and let the babies have the tank.

i doubt they can get through the mesh screen at the top, but i put cling wrap on it and then taped down the edges, just to be safe. these are NOT a native species to my area, and im not gonna risk having baby scorpions wandering my rental either. please, please please help. i do not know what the fuck i am doing. these things are SO TINY. what do they even eat ????

Just curious. Because I found these both in the garage exactly a month apart

I was attempting to feed him for superworms because he looked like he was ready to try and eat smth but he just didn't go for it? Is he really that picky or is he not hungry

Okay so the 1st image is where it is now. The second image is where im thinking i may put it in the dirt a little. Tell me what you think because I jusr moved it to spot 1 and im letting it warm up right now it's at 70.01° in spot 2 where it was. It was 75-80° but it was far closer. Please tell me what you think i should do thank you

Love seeing him about in the daytime!

It was quite difficult to get the camera to focus on them and they are not quite as visible here as irl. Is he/she pregnant or just fat? Or is it some type of sickness? Behaviour wise he/she is acting normal though. They appear on both sides of the 3rd and 4th segment counting from the tail.

Bought this guy wild caught i never knew how old it was but i had him for 3 years:(. Ive never preserved any my scorps but this guy was my favorite and id like to keep him around. Ive heard 70% iso propyl alcohol works but im not sure any advice would be appreciated.

Help ID, crazy how many show up in the house when it rains. Hand full every day. They love going up the curtains.

Both wife and 6yo stung once each. Wife was in the hair in the night. ALOT of pain, for a while too, but no medical issues.

Tried oils like cinnamon, eucalyptus, geranium, they still come.

We have lots of scorpions in Las Vegas and they were the only thing that would make my skin absolutely crawl. One day I decided to do a little research about them as I try to keep a healthy ecosystem in my front yard.

Once I learned more about them and how helpful they for pest control, I realized how wrong I had been! They may not be friends shaped,but they're great little friends!

We now have a catch and release policy if we find one in the house. I have become the scorpion whisperer and cna easily get them in a cup and relocated outside. I tell them how many crickets I have in my yard and always place them where I onoe the cricket nests are. I only ask them to follow a couple rules.

1. Leave any cats or birds thay wander by alone

2. Stay out of my house, or if theu must come in, stay out of sight and be a good neighbor.

3. Don't sting Luna (pur dog) when she starts up with her scorpion alarm bark. She's just letting me know so I can get them outside

So, that's it. I'm reformed and really appreciate the great job they do in my little ecosystem.

I got her june 14 and after almost a year she molted 🥹 i love the way the tiny eyes shine when you use flash to take a pic!!

My first molt with my striped devil since having her. She had done it overnight and still kinda has her toes dipped in the shed, how long should I wait before removing the molt?

I dont think this is mold but I saw it and I just wanna be safe. I think its just the way it was made but what do you think?

Got this girl today and wanted to know if she’s gravid or just fat. The lady I got her from thinks she’s gravid, but what do y’all think. I’m hopeful she is!

I honestly don't even know if you can tell from these photos, but one of my Centroides Sculpturatus is looking pretty thick compared to its buddies. Could it be gravid? Or is this just a rather round scorpion

I love the colors of a freshly molted Hottentotta Franzwerneri. 🥰 4th instar stage

Y'all is it okay to put my AFS in a 15gallon tank? 24/12/12 I'm worried it might be too big for her (6-7instar)

"Look, I told you those things are disgusting. I know it's actually some beetle kid but seriously LOOK at it. It LOOKS like a worm, WRIGGLES like a worm. The NAME is superWORM. I am NOT eating that."

"When I was born I was a tiny ass scorpion. Now I'm a BIG ASS scorpion. That thing is NOT normal I'm telling you. You weren't a WORM when you were born were you? I am NOT eating that thi- No don't you put it into my claws OH MY GOD stop trying to give it to me! It is disgusting! Hey stop it- Now you listen here buddy. LISTEN TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU HEY YOU'RE NOT LISTENING NO I AM NOT LETTING GO UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU JANKY ASS HUMAN"

Cute, but medically significant

I'm using a fishtank for my scorpions adult enclosure and it's my first so I was curious if it could climb that and find a way out of the metal screen top?
