Baby Pseudouroctonus reddelli scorpions

[sschind]

I bought several scorpions a month or so ago and when I looked into her cage this morning I found my female Pseudouroctonus reddelli with babies.  I'm pretty pumped.  The only other babies I ever got with scorpions were from several WC Pandinus imperator females.

I need to look for care info on the babies so I know how to proceed.  I have a very small (2i?) Hoffmannius spinigerus and another P. reddelli that is probably 2i or 3i and they have been doing fine but I have only had them for about month or so.

My biggest question is can they be kept together for any length of time after they leave the mother or do they need to be separated from the start.

So far my collection stands at 

0.0.2 Hadogenes paucidens
0.0.1 Hadrurus arizonensis
0.3.0 Centruroides vittatus with 2 looking very fat so perhaps many more in the future
0.0.1 Hoffmannius spinigerus
0.1.? P.redelli

I've never kept scorpions so I have no advice, but I just wanted to say that the babies are absolutely adorable!  :wub:

Thanks.  its just a cheap camera but I try.  Unfortunately I lost almost all the babies during their first and second molts.  I read an article somewhere that said they were difficult to get through those two.  I have another baby that was probably 3rd instar that I got with the mom of these and it is doing great so hopefully my last two will make it.  The second one just molted into its third instar.

Awe, well that's okay! You win some and lose some! I hope your baby lives a long healthy life
