Scorpions reproduce by mating with a male and female. The male will grab the female by the pedipalps (pinchers) and start to move her around. it appears as if they are dancing. It is also been called the "Promenade a Deux". What the male is actually trying to do is find a suitable place to drop his spermatophore(sperm sac). After he finds a good place such as a rock, piece of wood, etc. (Basically a firm surface) he will drag the female over and the female will then take up the spermatophore into her genital regions. Thus, her becoming gravid(pregnant). depending on the species of the scorpions gestation times vary, ranging from a few months to over a year. The female scorpion will then give birth to live scorplings. The babies are developed inside the mother as embryos. The babies will remain on the mother's back until they are ready to venture off into the world.
