My Tityus asthenes gave birth this summer. I have managed to salvage 9 babies so will be busy rearing them. In addition I have 6 baby Hottentotta tamulus as well. They are going to keep me busy on top of my other scorps, T's and spiders!

That's because you never sleep! :lol:

Not too bad yet. Once you get a system down.

I sleep sometimes, ha ha ha! :lol:

Oh so it's not too bad once you get either a feeding schedule up? Or once you've had a few scorps?

The feeding and maintenance schedule. They are much higher maintenance than my normal scorps but I have these in plastc bins versus display tanks so I can move through them much faster.

That's pretty cool, I guess if you want to keep them you have to get into the groove of things with them too.

I just noticed that with the new Zeta Board the smilies are a bit different.

BTW, I did not want these babies. Most scorpions are wild caught when you buy them. The gestation period can be a year and a half! Also, many reproduce through parthenogenesis. Not good if you don't want lots of baby scorpions! I am nurturing them until they are large enough to sell. But these species are HOT so a little worried on who may buy them?

A year and a half! That's quite a wait. Yeah things that go through Parthenogenesis make a lot of babies and since they don't need a mate[I assume you are referring to the kind of Parthenogenesis where the eggs don't need to be fertilized?] they can have another batch after it [although lucky you, they have a year and a half gestation time imagine if it was a month! :o .] What does HOT mean [sorry I know nothing about scorpions :) . I assume it means they are venomous and can sting really bad?

Yeah so am I, don't worry eventually we will figure things out. I just wanted to try this Zeta-boards as it has more features[which I haven't had the pleasure of messing around with ;) ] The smilies are a real pain though....

HOT = Extremely venomous. So you nailed it.

Okay, I figured that, because I don't know if it was guns, but I've heard that HOT= Dangerous or something.
