Hi All,

Emperor Scorpions give birth to live young, and most hobbyists are thrilled when this happens. However, scorpion reproduction breaks many of the ā€œrulesā€ that apply to other pets. For example, a female that has been alone for 14 months may one day be found with 30 tiny white youngsters, or ā€œscorplingsā€, on her back! Iā€™ve written about scorpion breeding and care in detail elsewhere (please see links below), but thought that an article describing what steps one should take when first discovering youngsters would be usefulā€¦especially if your female turns out to be a less-than-perfect mom and begins eating her new creations! Please also be sure to post your questions and concerns below, as scorpion births often take owners by surprise, and Iā€™ll be sure to get right back to you. Read more here http://bit.ly/10Dfx5l
