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]]. 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. The [[litters]] average around eight members, but can vary from two all the way up to 100. | The life cycle of a fattail scorpion is quite common.
