oh did u.. im going there now..

Hey guys, a little surprise I got today. This morning I woke up with 6 extra Centruroides Sculpturatus scorplings and a bag of infertile scorplings in my female Centruroides Sculpturatus enclosure.

The problem is, it was eating the infertile scorplings and then it started eating the ones piggybacking her and now it's down to 2 scorplings left. I'm not really sure what caused this. I have not been stressing her at all.

I read somewhere that says that it might be a sign that the female has given birth to a batch of bad quality scorplings and she is eating them up to prepare for a second brood. Could that be true?

that or that she need energy for her. I had one afs brood that the mother eat entirely. was told that it may b that she needs energy so she ate her brood. It may b true though coz i only feed her little and did not feed her after the birthing process was done. But i dunno this is my observation. Currently i have another batch at the moment and not even one scorpling has been devoured by the mother except 1 that has been devoured by their siblings. Coz i feed her 3 times since she gave birth. now the scorplings are 2i just 2 days ago..

Yup, I read about that too. What I'm actually concerned about now isn't exactly about the scorplings anymore. I mean, I can make it happen again. That's not really a problem. What I'm really concerned about is actually the welfare of the mother.

i dont know much on y the mother dropped the infertile embryos but it may b due to stress level. Mayb u didnt harm her indirectly but mayb there is something that makes her stress out. Wut u can do now is try to give her food. if crix them take our their hind legs so it wont jump around. Place it gently infront of her carefull not to startle her. Thats how i do when feeding the mother...

Dun think its necessary and it will only stress the mother more
She ady consumed a lot of unfertilized eggs and babies, guess she ady have enuff
That's a lot of nutrient

Yes, I will have to agree with Ryo, she's settled down already. The one and only baby that is on her back seems to be fine with one on the floor. Others are all completely wiped off. I'm guessing another brood though. Referring my previous pictures, I can actually see that she's almost as fat as she was before she popped. Hopefully, things will go good on this!

Wow...still small
But alot bigger compare to last time

Kar, that doesn't seems to be fine at all when its on floor
They ll die if they are not on the mom back!

Yeah I know, I meant the mom would be fine. Sigh, nevermind lah this time I'll prepare her for a second round and hopefully it'll work out fine this time!!

any pic of the current case now kar?

Nah dude, prefer not to disturb the female at the moment.
