This one I took about 12 years ago in Yucatan. I was inspired to post it because I saw other photos of arachnids showing off their babies ;)

More babies:

Okay this inspired me to find a brood pic. This group of babies came from one of our emperor scorpions. I think the babies were at 3rd instar but it's kind of hard to tell in this pic.

Woah - that's a lot of scorpions! It's really cool that you would breed them!

My husband and I used to do it as a hobbie. We've talked about getting back into it since the market for captive bred scorpions has substantially increased but we really don't have the space for tanks anymore.
