Yes, it was sometimes successfully tried, for example by M.Vachon with Androctonus (australis and bicolor if I remember well) but every time babies died the first days. There are some papers on this subject, I don't remember the references but I can search if you're interested.

If you could post references, that would be very interesting.

Hi Eric Ythier...Can I successfully breed my female C. gracilis with one of the males that she gave birth to? I remember you e-mailed me a pic of P. transvaalicus female with one of her sons mating. Just curious if it was genetically possible. thanks.

mm...yes I think it's always possible, there are usually not many problems of consanguinity among arthropods (and among invertebrates I think), because they have more genes than vertebrates or a thing like that... I curently have some Lychas mucronatus which are the 4th generation of "incest" 
and there are not teratology problems or more mortality.
But perhaps someone had problems with other species ?

i think that someone on scorpionfans, who had C.exillicauda inbreeding for a while, had a mutant with a double jointed tail, but he is un-contactable (by me) so it might be impossible to verify this

Hello George,
I don't recall this on the list but there is a 'research note' in the Journal of Arachnology.
1995. The Journal of Archnology 23:199-201.
Report on a rare developmental anomaly in the Scorpion, Centruroides vittatus (Buthidae).
The article includes Hottentotta, Centruroides to Euscorpius up to @1995.
Cheers.
