So I came across my scorpion having babies on her back. Never expected her to have babies this early - She didn’t even look gravid! But it is what it is and now we have baby scorpions. Let’s hope she doesn’t eat all of the babies.
If you’re asking why I don’t take out the babies; It’s because the time you separate the babies from the mom is when the babies come off their mom’s back by themselves. That’s when they’re ready to be separated.

She really just put meaning to the phrase "I brought you into this world I can take you right back out" 🤣😂😅
I have herd of that phrase
You make a very good point
Wowwww

Ya don't mess with mama scorpion 💪🏾🦂
She took spawn killing to a whole other level
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
loLol
Nooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Scorpions actually really enjoy eating baby scorpions, a mother with babies especially, if baby crawls off mother she will automatically eat it. One way to stop this is feeding her, if she isn't hungry she will be less likely to eat her babies but unfortunately they are cannibalistic in this regard and all scorpions absolutely love dining on baby scorpions. I would just keep her well fed and maybe try getting babies in their own enclosures. But this is quite normal, she was hungry.
Thanks for the fact
No. It's not at all normal for a female with offspring, unless malformed youngs. It's instead quite probable if a female is stressed, without a good shelter or with unsuitable parameters.
I'm leaning towards stress
It is normal actually. Its also a possibility that the babies will eat their mother.
Thanks you for the facts and wow you relly know your stuff
8:04 is where the eating starts
UA-cam++ told me that 😅
It's normal for a scorpion to actually eat their babies! That is why the babies are always on the mommas back
food store lol
mommas inside
LMAOO
It's only normal if the scorpion doesn't have another source of food..
yeah, where else would you store ur food besides the backpack
They will NEVER go extinct… mother proceeds to eat her spawn.
Actually, that's the opposite, parthenogenic species are more susceptible to go extinct because of the lack of genetic diversity.
I had to scroll too far down to find this comment. It deserves more likes.
Yes they will lack the new genetic code that will survive in wild because of it well beside they can keep reproduce without their pair
But it's also the most common in form of asexual reproduction.
Exactly!

4:57 "as you can see this is my death stalker... quite fat"
Death Stalker: this is why I was hiding 🥺
Here is some edvies no matter what you or your animal looks like never be ashamed or inbarist it doesn't matter what you or you animal looks like all that matters is what is on the in side not the out side
And that is a true thing
4:57 "as you can see this is my death stalker... quite fat"
Death Stalker: Stop body shaming me!!! 🥺
I don't body sham anyone at all
So don't worry I am not trying to body sham at all ok
After this video, I feel very educated on how this particular species of scorpion DOESN'T NEED A MATE TO MATE, AND HAVE BABIES, AND YOU KNOW, BABIES, OUT OF NOWHERE. Amazing.
Seems obsessed with it, however it comes with disadvantages so calm down..
"they are not gonna eat anyone"
The scorpion: are you challenging me?
im dead 🤣
*Cookie Monster chomping sounds*
LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I thought the exact same thing!
@@bencross3759 ur 1 day late G XD
As with the animals that reproduce like that, the babies are pretty much "clones" of the mother and share her genotype and are also female.
I know scorpions will often eat their young, or the young of other scorpions.
Did a little reading on this species, and I found some saying that "when kept in a group cannibalism will most likely happen, especially during molts."
It did look like there were tiny molts on the sand.
I did some little research about this, and apparently some of the scorpion's babies are born sick and end up falling off her back, so she or any other scorpion nearby ends up eating the ones that fell...
Nature is brutal, man. Lol
@@andrewt3768 yeah
@@andrewt3768 ikr my god poor babies
Hold on tight babies or you will be dinner
@@Sophie.S.. LMAO
Mother " my babies are so sweet I could just eat them all "
Babies " aww that a nice saying mum
Mother:🤤
Babies " it's just a saying, right?"😨
Scorpion: I'm a strong independent scorpion that don't need no man! I make my own food!
OK
Ok
I agree with you
through each successive generation, and eating, there would be less and less nutrients.
OK good point
@@johnfanning571 gae
Exotics lair : around 10 babies
Scorpion : yes but actually no
my mom wanted to do the same ,but luckily my dad fed her before she gave birth to me.
bro wtf 💀
Tf bro
Bro ayo wtf 💀
Lmao wtf
Wait, ur dad fed her, aka she ate him instead?
Now take this as a grain of salt because one Google search doesn’t count as hard evidence but what I found is “Sometimes when the mother scorpion cannot find enough insects, bugs, or grub worms to eat, she will eat her own”
Correct
Her own what? Foot?
@@jjs8426 Obviously. That’s why scorpions are born with so many feet. Gives her some spare in case times get tough🤦🏻♀️
I found that too but knowing the owner, he likely fed her enough, so nah. In many species of insects, it is very common the mom would eat the weak babies and only nurture the strong. So that is likely this.
@@amimeow how they gonna know which nee born is strong and weak lol
"Just get one of these! Then you don't have to worry about anyone eating anyone!"
ScOrPiOn: "Watch me."
"No one's going to eat anyone." A couple minutes later.... 🤣
Lmao
Never brag until you actually witness it 😂😂🤣
Bruh, I heard that come out of his mouth and remembered the thumbnail. 💀😂
@@RainbowAngel540 your right never brag until you accidentally witness it
btw if anyone's wondering, the process of giving birth without a mate i.e. self fertilization is called parthenogenesis! the term can be used interchangeably with asexual in this case too
Probably nobody is wondering because he said it in the video.....
@@beavis847 he didn’t specifically say the term parthenogenesis…
@@bimboification yes he did, he even showed his google search lol
I low key mentally read that word as Paarthurnax
It's. A Greek word
Sometimes when the mother scorpion cannot find enough insects to eat, she will eat her own babies. It can also happen when they are stressed.
Btw love your vids💕
Wow
More babies means more enclosure , more enclosure means more water bowl , more water bowl means MORE WATER ASMR!
Loool
That all it about
the more you know
More water asmr means, more spider attack more spider attack means, good video 😎
Lol
8:01 Bruh…. This tarantula really watched the roach drown himself. I’d probably do it too if I was meant to be tarantula food 😂
Yes my striped bark scorpion ate all her babies ! Stress is usually the situation they don't like to be disturbed when they have babies . I did not know this when I 1st encountered . Most likely my fault
Have a drink each time he says scorpion doesn't need a mate and everytime he gets distracted you'd be drunk in no time haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude he spoke so much about nothing. This was genuinely agonizing to watch. I thought I was gonna catch a stroke lmfao
@@a.v.emusic6518 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES!!! He gets distracted VERY EASILY!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes was really exhausting to watch
When a scorpion goes through parsonages it uses a lot of its energy and the mother needs to be fed
Exocticslair: No one will eat anyone
Then next day:
Exoticlair: OH NO
"they don't require two individuals to YEAH! YEAH!"
got me laughing.
"no one's going to eat anyone"
"my collection will never die out!"
Momma scorpio: "screw your collection, I'm hungry" 🦂
The way he waves his hands around near the t's, I'm surprised he doesn't get bit more often.
He doesn't get bit bc he's not that close to them. It looks closer than it is on the camera. But his hand actually isn't that close to them.
Exactly😑
Maybe he buys neosporin as much as he gets new tarantulas!
T's dont rlly attack air-movement unless its rlly an insect. a hand moves too much air so the T is more cautious than attack-ready. compare it like exoticlairs hand is the size of a full blown tree and an insect is the size of a big dog. when a tree falls you MOVE and when a big dog attacks you -you BETTER be ready. not a perfect comparison but i think its clear :]
@@-iceraptor- It's not that his hand is close to them. I have 20 t's and moving quickly and relatively close gets them on guard and even pisses off a few. That makes them harder to work with. Why piss of your spiders? I want happy, healthy guys who are as laid back as they can possibly be.
"No ones going to eat anyone" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
“What are you eating your…?” Those words are spoken by a man with no kids. Never had to repeat yourself 50 times in 10 minutes. My wife and I are not going to have anymore kids because we are full! (But seriously, sorry about your scorpions)
I felt this comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My son has ruined his chance at siblings bc im tired of repeating myself 🤣
Not a reason to devour your kids honestly :)
@@cemafer Saturn would like to disagree
I thought, when a scorpion has babies, they need to remain on her back until they've grown enough for them to go it alone. But if at any point any of them leave her back, they're no longer her babies & fair game.
That hand gesture he did and how he went "yeah" was funny
7:46 “No ones gonna eat anyone!”
The video title; *And I took that personally*
Congrats on the baby scorpions, it sounds like normal behavior according to the comments. Also, sorry you got ripped off by that guy, he probably stole your male scorpion. I don't know why you'd go back to him after the terrible job he did at packing those T's. Hope you can find someone more reliable.
Scorpion mother be like "Don't look at me now! don't judge me!"
I'm hungry... Let me make a baby real quick
Bro thats a dark joke over there lol
Imagine if they were socially advanced like humans and ordered food. Like yo lemme get a baby on toasted bread with butter 😜😋
That's scorpions for you. I had an Emperor that did the same thing once. Unfortunate because I wanted to save the little ones to feed and house, it's reality though. Currently I only have one scorpion. Just a basic desert scorpion, but it's massive. Largest I've ever seen in person. Great specimen.
My man exotic needs a chameleon. These videos are really entertaining and educational. Keep up the job well done brother.
I agree
fr
What do you mean by fr ?
@@johnfanning571 “for real, he should get one.” That’s what I’m talking about
OK I think i know what you mean naw
I love how the other babies just now silently chilling in fear still on mother's back
What a good mom😂😭😭
No
No she is not
Imagine creating your own food supply. Scorpions are savage.
I know it will stress her/him, but ts there a way to secure her tail, brush the babies off with a soft haired paint brush & scoop them up into sling enclosures? I would feed mom first to get her in a better mood. Seems the best way to save them is separate them as gently & quickly as possible.
"They don't require two to yeah-yeah" I can't 😭😂
I missed xena she is so cazy and cute and I love it 😍
He got ADHD 😂 lol don’t leave the scorpion unattended
Keep her well fed but if a baby scorpions crawls off the back remove it immediately otherwise it would be killed or eaten as the mother wouldn’t recognise them
“I think she is playing with her ball” WOW SUS!
Yoooo I've seen alot of your video's, but this is the first I got to see your dog in one. She's very beautiful!!❤ my fav breed of dogs, Huskies & German Shepherds!
Yes :3
I had 2 huskies before...
I love dogs as well
I love all breeds of dogs aspecieley the strong breeds which is my favourite
I have not had a dog for a long time since my tow dogs died I miss having a dog so much 😢 💔
7:43 “No one‘s gonna eat anyone.” Well that didn’t age well. But, thanks to the handy comments some have explained that she only eats the ones that fall off her back. Because they are possibly sick.
Scorpion 1: How come you are so healthy and always well fed?
Scorpion 2: Oh my food comes out of me and then I just eat it
Scoepion 1: That's sick asf how do I make food come out of me?
lolol the death stalker was like " ' Oh my gosh!! My home just moved! YIIIIIIKES!!!! ' '' lolololol
@Ecotics Lair
Did you Feed her a lot?
If Not Well then Read this:
Sometimes when the mother scorpion cannot find enough insects, bugs, or grub worms to eat, she will eat her own babies. Luckily this is only a last resort. Usually, the mother scorpion will eat her babies only to survive.
Well done you really know your stuff
His animals are very well taken care of. Mothers eat their young all the time in the wild not just because of starvation.
@@amberlytownsend2856 I understand what you mean
@@amberlytownsend2856 and wow you are very smart cool 😎
I bought 10 bark scorpions and put them in a 10 gallon tank. A ton of hiding spaces. I end up with around 1,000 in the 2 years that I owned them. No canabalism at all. They where crawling all over each other. I did feed them heavy.
I have arachnophobia and I donno why I love to watch them always and even subscribed to know about them more 🦂🕷️
Probably a subconscious attempt to lessen your fear tbh. Knowing more about things can help make them less scary
@@disgusting-deer Yes, you're right. 😅 Somehow scary things and horrors attracting me and makes me curious...maybe I'm a psycho🤷
Small ones i can handle but if they go over a certain size then i'll nope out of there. I also subscribed for the same reason.
I had a fear of spiders too….well I still do lol but it’s heaps less now thanks to watching vids like this. Keep watching them as they will help heaps with your arachnophobia.
I felt this. Over time it has lessen my fear but I still won't touch one 😂
“I brought you into this world and I can take you out”
now I'm scared because of their durability lol
Once the scorpion slings leave the mom's back, they are considered fair game to the mom, because scorpions aren't exactly the brightest things on earth. They're not tarantulas, who will care for their young for a bit.
A female scorpion or in this case shim (sh-e hi-m) will only eat it’s young when either stressed or after birthing if food is hard to come by she will try and recover some of that protean she just lost making those little Scorpio’s or if she’s has been injured. On this one I’m going to go with stressed but they should be kept well fed when she has baby Scorpions to reduce the chances of her eating her young and also disturbances like moving them around or showing them off under bright lights to a camera - those sort of things should be kept to a minimum. This was probably caused by the owner.
I used to watch you like 3 years ago or something like that and randomly one of your shorts came up. Glad to be back
Me: traumatized of *scorpions/tarantula’s*
Also me: *watches the vid without screaming or getting scared*
1 thing for sure… they don’t require a mate, another scorpion, it only takes 1, 2 is a crowd, riding solo, me against the world, it’s lonely at the top, 1 is the loneliness number, all by myself, oh and it only takes 1 scorpion lol
Woah! I didn’t know Scorpions carry their babies on their back!! Awesome 🤩
I mean, like not the part where it ate it’s baby. XD
Some spiders do the same, but it's not to not get eaten by the mom. Someone's comment said that scorpion babies get on mom's back to avoid being eaten by her. But that isnt necessarily true. It is just how they carry their babies..
@@-iceraptor- thanks. Yeah I knew that some spiders would do that, but not that scorpions do. 😉
@@Torora tbh I knew some spiders do, but scorpions I wasn't 100 on..
@@-iceraptor- yeah I always see this type of spider in my yard carrying her babies on her back. Wonder if she eats her babies if they fall off too. Damn being a bug is brutal.
The scorpion found an infinite food glitch 😂
I love how ironic it is that he says you should get these scorpions because they arent gonna eat anyone and then they ate their babies 😂
The cut-off at around 7:56 was hilarious
poor deathstalker and emperor bro just called them fat
I don’t even like tarantulas or scorpions but this is my favorite channel to watch. 😂💜
Oh OK
Why don't you like tarantulas or scorpions ?
And don't worry I am not a judge person ok 😇
I dunno 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve kinda come to terms with spiders in general but I don’t think that’ll happen with scorpions because they just freak me out.
@@sammiekins_2313 oh OK I understand
5:47 it's like " ' Oh no! Hide! I is trying to hide!! Don't eat me! Oh my ... ! ' '' lololol
Ahhhhhhhh
Okay I have a question that is probably extremely stupid but how do Ts and stuff not suffocate when you have them all packed up for shipping?
Their oxygen requirements are quite low, especially when they're not moving around.
Not a stupid question as I have wondered that too glad you got an answer
Man its like listening to a drunk friend telling a story.
We need an update on how many babies are left please 💖
You are right we do need an update on the slings
Yaaaaasssssss!!!!
only me 😁
Babies: *exist*
Mamma scorpion:you have chosen... DEATH!!!
A lot of species, after giving birth, can eat their babies - it could be out of stress of being on display, with you waving your arms, moving the enclosure and pointing camera at it. Be careful with that, man! Hope some of the babies survived, peace & love
His spasmodic hand waving, running back & forth to look at the dog, tapping on & moving all around her tank & under bright light probably raised her stress level quite a bit. It looks like he left her under the bright lights until he started filming again the next day. I'm not saying she wouldn't have eaten any of her babies, but stressing her like that couldn't have helped.
Scorpion momma *gives birth*
Also scorpion momma alright times up
*Starts eatin em*
Me after watching kitchen nightmares all quarantine : *damn it’s raw*
I like how the scientific name sounds like it was lazily named
Easy come, easy go!
I can have many more of you as often as I want.
We need a follow up to this
Only a few days old and moms alread sick of the baby’s just like humans 😂
Please focus about what you want to say in your video. It‘s hard to listen if you repeat yourself a lot of times and take a lot of time to explain a certain thing which could easily be described in 2 sentences.
This!! I can't hardly watch because he's so easily distracted and repeats himself over and over.
My Scorpion did that too, I tried to save them but they need their mother to survive.
I love your channel! even though I would never come close to a scorpion or tarantula lol
Thank you. First time learning about scorpion.
"If your worried about your male death stalker being eaten, just get this scorpion *points at hottentota* cause no one is gonna be eating anyone cause they are parthogenic."
*2 seconds later after random cut*
" Oh no!! What are you doing?", he exclaims at the same hottentota scorpion.
They will also eat their young if they are stressed or out of sorts with their surroundings(maybe a space issue. ). My scorpions are wild, not store bought. ☘️
Ok am i the only one that died when he was explaining inbreeding🤦😂
Then who wrote this if you died?
i saw someone say they enjoy this which is untrue, scorpions only do this if they cannot find enough insects and thus sacrifice the babies as a last resort
I know whip-tail lizards are female-only(the males died out) and breed on their own, not sure if that's what you're looking for, but figure can't hurt to mention
Thanks for the facts
Plus I have never heard of wip tail lizerds
I have heard of a wip scorpion / vingaroon
@@johnfanning571 they're are quite interesting, not sure how the males died out, but they did
So they don't birth any males?
baby scorpion: gets eaten
momma scorpion: mmm FrEsh MeAt
Thank you for making these wonderful videos! They are both educational and entertaining!!!!
It´s actualy in their nature, Scorpion moms will carry the babies on their backs during the babies´s first days, but will eventualy see them as food, and it is up to the babies to run off and escape
We need more videos of Xena!!
Some snakes can reproduce without a mate but the offspring generally don’t survive or have several neurological issues. But sometimes they can produce normal young that way.
"there not gonna eat anyone"
*Eats babies*
she really said, 'fudge them kids.' 🤣
i read at some point something about it and found it agian for you :)
"Mother scorpions will sometimes be faced with a dilemma when they aren’t capable of finding enough resources. Under normal circumstances, a mother scorpion will be able to find enough food to eat and everything will be fine while it is carrying its babies.
However, a mother scorpion that isn’t able to find enough food might have to make some tough choices. Sometimes mother scorpions will eat the baby scorpions when they don’t have enough food to survive."
and also something about that if she senses that the baby is sick and falls of her back, she eats them.
Imagine if something happens and all the inclosures cracked open 😖
Omg noooooooooooooooo
They'll all eat each other. Last man standing
Need a part 2!! How many survived if any??
Cute dog! 😍
