This scorpion was gravid when I found it, and now I have more of them. :)

Just curious what those babies eat. Seems hard to find anything small enough for them. Or does the mom feed them from her catches?

Not sure. I never tried to ID it. I think kellakk might know. He was with me when I caught it.

I mentioned it in the chat but I think this is Paruroctonus silvestrii...they are fairly common and the chela look basically correct from what I can see.
