Great photos, do they hold on to the eggs or just leave them?
Good luck with the incubation.

I am still reasearching these but as far as i can work out they carry until they hatch, still not sure if the babies stay with mum until first shed like other scorps

Ohh those things don't half creep me out! But congrats, that's an achievement, certainly don't see these CB very often.

Thanks for that, took 2 years to get any result, i am sure the adults were WC as i got them from the Amstelveen show, i have a few obscure species that are not usually bred in captivity that i am breeding, hopefully to get more info for people to CB more
