Ally's Eight-Legged Journey

Diablo's scorplings are now wandering about! They have been wandering around in the mouth of her burrow, completely free from mum. This means I took the chance to separate them as soon as I could. This is a photo of a scorpling from a few days ago - it is small, and very pale in colour. I'm not sure if it was even meant to be off her back this early, but it was: I waited a few days, and the scorplings started to change colour. They are now a darker brown - still not black like their mum, but darker than the pale cream one. I have counted them out - I now have an extra 15 scorplings - and put them into a communal tank where they can huddle together under some bark. I have fed them a couple of pre-killed locusts which they seemed to enjoy, and I spritz them every day. So far, so good. I still have 15 scorplings...
