Cupcake - Asian Forest Scorpion

Cupcake the Asian Forest Scorpion is appropriately named due to her sweet personality and habits. She is one of the handful of mothers at the sanctuary as of 2024 and raised 16 babies of her own after coming to the sanctuary.

Cupcake - Asian Forest Scorpion

Cupcake may not seem like a remarkable scorpion, but she has quite the story! After her surrender in September of 2024, shortly after she birthed 16 healthy baby scorpions! This may not seem special, but Cupcake hadn’t been with a male for OVER A YEAR prior!

This means that Cupcake stored the material from a pairing long ago, and when she found the right conditions, took advantage of the space! For the first few weeks, she carried the babies on her back until they got big enough that they began exploring on their own. We then had to separate them before Cupcake may have mistaken them for a snack!

If remarkable intake stories and conditions are of interest to you, Cupcake is an amazing ambassador for you to meet. If not, her sweet demeanor and motherhood habits make her a remarkable story to hear at the very least!
