At the last herp show in Taylor I picked up a couple Centruroides guanensis (one male, 1 female). The seller told me that he was quite sure all the females were gravid. He was right -- this girl popped out 4 babies a week later.

Hi, first of all, congrats ! Could you please write down when are they going to shed for the first time it would help me in my research.

Well two of the babies I can no longer find. I thought I saw one molting two days ago (so about a week after birth) but I was late for work and could not wait around. I suspect they may have been eaten by either of the adults. However I suppose they could be hiding -- even the adults are small and they blend in well with their surroundings.Two babes are still riding momma's back. I tossed in three or four baby crickets last night and I know momma nabbed at least one of them. Hopefully the male got at least one. All the baby crickets I threw in are gone so I know someone ate them. Hopefully well fed adults will stop any possible cannibalism.
