Cool! All of my extended family lives in Ontario; mostly in and around Peterborough. Any chance you'd be willing to ship future babies to Calgary?

I can't buy any more until I've paid my tax bill I'm dying to see if the shop herc and Co came from have still got any but I can't control my spending in spider shops or saddleries so have to take avoidance measures for now. I would definitely give you owner recommendation.

I had an emperor scorpion become pregnant and was fortunate enough to watch her give birth deep in her burrow. It took her quite a while. It's been about a year now, 21 were born and I have 14 left. There growing and moulting great. One of them is half the size as the others. I keep them all together and assume there's been cannabalism but they stay in their burrow and I leave them alone. I read up a lot on them and separated the young from the mother at second instar, still white but bodies were formed and they were roaming around. The mother died 2 days after I took her babies. Conditions were right and I don't know why she died. It was my first time and I assume it was stress but am not sure. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I have another pregnant emperor. And my first chilean rose made an egg sac beginning of January. Very excited and want to get more involved with tarantulas. I'm becoming quite addicted to my arachnids.
