More scorpions

Scorpion two gave birth yesterday, have yet to get a proper count but definitely more than the first.

The mother scorpion becomes increasingly aggressive in the few days before she gives birth and this continues after birth as she protects her scorplings.

The scorplings stay on the mothers back until they moult and turn from white to their more familiar colour. After this first moult they then start to venture away for little periods at a time soon returning when they are scared.

A New Beginning

Happy New Year everyone!

Lets hope this is a year full of new friends both mammal and amphibian.

Still waiting on that last scorpion, the temperature is right, humidity is perfect and yet those little scorplings are too lazy to make an appearance :)
