I have been collecting scorpions for almost a year now. I bought this one from another collector just a couple months ago, he told me it was a "Dune Scorpion" - although it does not look like the dune scorpions in the pictures when I look them up on google. Its tail is much thicker. I was shocked, to say the least, to discover it covered in offspring two days ago, as it has been housed alone all this time. I looked it up and read about Parthenogenesis which I was unaware of before, I figured none of them could reproduce as they are each housed alone. Can anybody tell me if this is in fact a dune scorpion, maybe she has a thick tail because she reproduces? Or was the collector that sold her to me misinformed, does anybody know what species this is, and is it in fact one that can reproduce by itself? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
