Nearly forgot to get foods for these today, so thought I'd take some nice pics of them when they got their dinner as well.
Enjoy.

| Have to admit that scorpions are the only living things give me the creeps. But I do think it's amazing the way they glow under UV light. |

Cheers Guys and gals.
I love showing the pics of them under blacklight because of how they glow like that.
It's still under debate about long term affects of blacklight on scorpions so they only ever have it every so often for a minute or 2.
Normally they look like this:
Amazing what a lightbulb can do.  |

K them pics are so cool esp the ones with them glowing like that, I like them but not sure I'm brave enough to handle one lol.
Mamma they will be poisonous but as far as I know the rule with scorpians is the bigger the pincers the less poisonous they are but scorpians with smaller pincers are a lot more poisonous and some are leathal if you get stung (i think anyways lol). I think a sting from one of them would be somethin like a bee sting but am probably wrong lol. |

I do handle these if I want to, although not that often. There are no poisonous scorpions in the world, so these aren't either.
As for the foods, they love the crix, practically ignore small roachs. They seem to eat nearly all of it as well, I've not seen any remains of crix with guts sucked out yet. |

These are your fairly common Emperor Scorpion, I believe a lot of reptile places have these, cracking little beasts they are.

I was accurate in what i said when I answered a question.
The question was "are they poisonous?" so I answered it.
There are NO poisonous scorpions in the world.
It's also called being a pedant. :D |

| My mum was stung by a scorpion and spent two days in hospital. It left her with potassium poisoning which took about 3 weeks to clear, voniting and a heart rate over 250. Not good when you're 76. She was really lucky that she was stung on her ankle and not her neck - she was carrying hay on her shoulder and the scorpion fell out, landed on her foot and stung. Scorpy was very small (about 2") and very black. She lives in Spain in case anyone thinks UK hay is suddenly full of scorpions. |

| Scorpians have varying degrees of venom from bee/wasp sting like to fatal resulting in death. The general rule with scorpians is the bigger their pincers are the less powerful their venom - much like a bee/wasp sting HOWEVER, scorpians with very small pincers should be treated with extreme care as some have venom as leathal as any cobra/viper/rattle snake. |

This is how I should've answered the question about poisonous scorpions.
Due to the fact there are no poisonous scorpions, only venomous.
As I said in a post above, I was just being fussy. Apols to the person that asked the question.

They are so cool. I've been fascinated by these for some time since i took the cast from a baby one home with me years ago. I still have it too!
Funny really as I'm not keen on their cousins at all. |
