Heterometrus silenus babies

Came home to 15 babies! I don’t think she has eaten any of them yet, which is a huge win when you’re working with this species.
My best advice is to give her a big meal after she’s finished giving birth. Just make sure she’s completely done before feeding her, but don’t wait too long—or you might end up with only a few babies left.

I got 35 babies from a single clutch from one of my spinifer females last year, and every single one survived. 💪🏼

Fatass or Pregnant?

I bought this fattailed scorpion a couple months ago and it’s always seemed to be like a nugget, I can’t tell if it’s babies or just fat.

AFS heating

picked this guy up today but he has no heating element in his tank. did it because my room runs extremely hot, currently about 75 and it’s night time, in the day it goes in the 80s. is it still worth the investment for stability or does it not matter much in this context

AFS Scorpling rescue- Idk what I'm doing please help.

Hey, so a local pet shop's Asian forest scorpion had babies. They are not really equipped for this and wanted me to take the babies since I'm the only invert guy the manager (a personal friend of mine) knows.

2 problems- 1 they promised the mom to another big box pet store and the guy never came to get her, so now the babies are leaving mom and they are scooping them up and sending them to me. I'm not too upset about that as tbh I'm not much of a scorpion guy. I like them but I never planned on getting any and now I'm having to learn very quickly.

Which brings me to problem 2- they sent me the babies with some pinhead crickets. These things are tiny, I'm used to like small spiders that can eat stuff 2-3 times their size, these pinheads are almost microscopic and most of them are dead in the container. I got a couple out and tried to feed the scorplings. I found all the crickets drowned in water bowls the next day and tried to set them out for the babies to get to. They didn't eat them live- which I read is normal, but they didn't eat them dead either. They have been off mom for about 3 or 4 days and haven't eaten anything. What do I do?

I was planning on getting some small dubias to pre kill for them, but I'm worried.

Everything online said these guys are easy, but I'm stressed out cause I've had them 3 days and can't get them to eat. Some sources say feed them weekly, some say 2-3 times a week. I'd like some advice from someone who has kept babies of possible

No idea which species, sorry. Can't get a good look at Mom and the babies are too small for me to even try to guess.

Need help with AFS enclosure pls read description

From what I know and have seen Asian forest scorpions don't need a lot of space but I'm worried about needing to put my girl in a new enclosure. She's in a 10 gallon right now and I made sure that she has enough substrate to dig in which she has been, her humidity is good and everything but I'm not sure if the enclosure itself is big enough. My biggest concern however is that she won't stop climbing on the ceiling of her enclosure. Am I over reacting or should I get her into a bigger enclosure, if so then how big? First time keeping scorpions so any advice would be great 🙏🙏

Stung - Am I gonna die or no?

San Diego, Ca - I just got stung by a scorpion! I didn’t get a picture of it because I fainted upon realizing. Last thing I remember was looking down after feeling the sting and seeing the little fucker run in a circle and I was OUT. It was brown/tan and about 2”, it doesn’t really hurt, my foot is a bit numb and my heart rate feels kinda high, but am I good or no? Google says we have a few different species, one that is quite poisonous but they all look the same to me.

Heterometrus Silenus

Hallo Leute, ich habe einen Heterometrus Silenus, der mir vom Verkäufer als Männchen verkauft wurde, ich kann aber nicht genau sagen ob es wirklich ein Männchen ist oder doch ein Weibchen. Er hat irgendwie beide Merkmale. 🫪
Seine/ ihre Kämme haben ca 15/16 Zähne was für ein Weibchen spricht, aber die Scheren und der Genitaldeckel (Operculum) sehen nach Männchen aus. Ich will mir einen zweiten holen weshalb ich das Geschlecht nun genauer wissen muss.

Ich hoffe einer von euch kann mir da irgendwie weiter helfen.
