hmm... the substrate looks like corncob to me...

hmmm...last time i think u mentioned that urs bred in captivity? hmmm...i think u bought a gravid female. they need round 12-13months to from the mating date to actually give birth...rite? hmm...

it can be faster.. it ranges from 8-12moths. hehehe depending on the temp their kept and the amount of food they get

My AFS took pretty long though. About a year.... 38 babies came out

Eh, the substrate is corncob. Wrong one i noe. Bcuz d pet shop owner say can use that one so i bodoh bodoh n get. Now i change 2 potting soil oledi. I sprinkle a little water here and there to make in moist everday. I think Callisto oledi pregnant when i got her, so fat.

Should d babies be totally removed from the mother at 2nd or 3rd instar ah? (they're already in 2nd instar actually, my camera rosak, cannot take pictures.)

ps.. when i gave my hamsters to investigate the corn cob they tried 2 eat it! LOL

well i waited for them to moult to 3rd instar... like eh,.... when every i see any scorpling moult i remove them, this some how simulates the babies leaving the mum slowly.. if you one shot take everythong away not veyr good for the mu m leh she moght be copme aggresive

which instar does it turns blackish?

woo!!! the Lychas mucronatus popped!! now what?

I remember i read sumwhere on d net that when some scorplings start getting off the mother, must also remove the rest of them on her back(with a spoon).

When d babies started walking around i removed a few of them (that were really active running here and there). the rest of them still with d mother. Even though ther're independant they still like to hide under mama! lol so cute.

taha.. the scorpion is with taggy. we'll get pics soon. but lychas mucronatus is a small species so babies look like mites

if you remove the babies from her back they will die

yeah.. remember from wht u read. so we're just leaving the mom to do wht nature planned for her to do just got the other scorpy out so tht the mom can have her peace

Eww yuck, i just checked under the wood where some of the babies hide and i saw FUNGUS. At least i think it was, it was like powdery stuff stuck under it. Is it bad to the scorps???

kinda bad...lolx. but remove it with a spoon or sumting.

they turn dark in late 2nd instar moulting to 3rd...

Some freshly moulted pics!
