I have several scorpions as pets (or better "pets"). They are kept separate since they can be cannibalistic at times. I have seen one scorpion attacking another and eating it some time ago because I put the two together without being aware of this behavior. Some species can live together, but the saying among hobbyist is: scorpions are communal to some degree until they start to eat each other. The degree depends on the species, but also on the individuals.

my scorpion is a rock scorpion she just had babbies how long untill i should put them in a separet tank
Blake - I know that for some species after about 10 days the scorpions have their first molt, and shortly afterwards start to wander away from the mother. As far as I know, if they don't go back to her, it's safe to separate them.

@kyle - check a local pet shop. You might also want to check Arachnoboards. There are quite some hobbyists selling young scorpions and you probably get better and more information on how to take care of what you buy compared to a pet shop.
