Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 80384" data-attributes="member: 4086"><p>[ATTACH=full]16813[/ATTACH] This is what I believe are 3-4 instar. There were three, two suspect males and a female. One of the males was eaten. I'm pondering splitting up the other 5, but I feed all of them so well...this shouldn't have happened..the other two have their own enclosure, and have also been doing fine..so four out of five left of my Heterometrus cyaneus. Most of the rest of my scorpions are buthids, and I haven't found any cannibalism among them at all.. While I've read that this happens even with buthids, from what I've seen they're more likely to "guard" a molting bro/sis, and they ain't messing around. Stick your finger next to a molting scorp with a sibling standing guard..you'll see very quickly what I mean..</p></blockquote><p></p>
