Hello guys, a quick update:

Unfortunately, the first (maybe not the very first) batch is a failure. They all died; leaving only 7 total; still idk what is the cause. T_T
Luckily, i have put a number of 5 to a very small tank, and they all survived. From the main tank where the eggs was laid, only 3 survived and 1 died not so long ago.
So from the first batch i have a total 7 and the're bigger now. I will post on the new thread soon

About 2 weeks after first batch, the pair laid the 2nd batch.
My mistake, i carelessly put an aerator bubble too close to the eggs location, and the male ATE the eggs. YES he ATE it!!! I thought the eggs is poisonus and they will never eat it even if the get stressful.
So i suppose the first batch is not the very first, since the pair have showed mating behaviour since about 3-4 months ago. Maybe the male just ate the eggs because i didn't put the pair in separate tanks from the other. FYI i have 6 mature leiurus, 2 died because fighting each other and now i have one pair and 2 of unknown sex. They are super piscivore.

And now, the 3rd batch (the 2nd succesfull batch) have hacthed.
Learning from past mistake, I divided them into 3 small tank and 1 bigger / main tank.
I'll put more pic soon.
