er...if my memory serve me right.. It took 2 days to finaly gave birth to all the scorplings.. That was my 1st brood.. I gave many away to rui, Shao and others and left with 2. Placed them together in a guppy tank and always feed them with small mealworms. But yet after 3 months no molt.. Compare to the second brood that i had 3 weeks after them they all have molted to 3i but thy are living with mum..

Or is it something to do with being a loner... I do know some have reserach, found out that individual scorplings will grow slowly compared to the one living comunally or with mother. it seems rite coz the 2nd batch i got are living with their mother.. even at 3i. Im planing to separate them once they reach 4i and still will keep some with mother untill 5th.. just to se the results. This post has been edited by AiR~BuStEr: Jan 19 2010, 10:46 PM |

Basically, the warmer, the higher metabolism, the faster they grow but don't overdo it

Instead of using crix n mealworms for food product for our scorpions, anyone had tried lotus, grass hoppers...???? |
