The life cycle of a Fattail scorpion is quite common. This scorpion, like most others, reproduces sexually. The Androctonus genus has both male and female genders, so that makes it a little less complicated. The male finds the female, and after some pre-mating rituals, they begin to mate. First, however, the male leads the female to a suitable place to lay his spermataphore Scorplings(baby scorpions) are born one by one. The litters average around eight, but can vary from two all the way up to 100. | The life cycle of a Fattail scorpion is quite common. This scorpion, like most others, reproduces sexually.

First, however, the male leads the female to a suitable place to lay his spermataphore. The female then moves over this, allowing it to enter her, releasing the sperm, fertilizing the female. The male then quickly retreats to avoid being eaten by the female. The female later gives birth to scorplings. Scorplings(baby scorpions) are born one by one.
