awsome

i like it very much, those are so specials to me

Not my particular idea of a pet, but hey, if you like 'im. Big one ain't he o.o

not really. He's got a rather long tail, so is about 3 inches. My largest currently (an Asian Forest) is about 5 inches.

Strictly speaking, where as scorpions are involved, if you are going to get stung, the bigger, the better.

Hmm, he has smaller claws, that must mean he is more poisonous? If I remember correctly that is. I haven't owned a scorpion for about 5-6 years.

it might go the scorpion the more poisonous

smaller the scorpion sorry typo

Well when I owned a emperor I was told the bigger the claws the less poisonous because they prefer to use their claws than to strike with their tail. I don't know if that was true or not.

That's semi true, though not completely. My desert hairy has thin claws but is about as poisonous as a wasp. This guy, however, is a bit more poisonous. He's in the fat tailed family and has a painful sting, not one that will kill, but one that hurts pretty bad for a few days. I don't handle my scorpions with my bare hands. The only ones I have is my juvenile emperors. It's safer for me and them that way.

Ah ok, I wasn't completely sure. The pet store owner that told me that was kinda odd >.> Thanks for clearing that up!
He is a very pretty scorpion though!

He is beautiful

Thanks ^_^ I just couldn't resist him because of his colors.

And please remember that this is a pet. If you don't like arachnids or scorpions, please click the back button.

On this earth, for every human there is a creature that calls to them. As long as we accept them for what they are, and build our relationships with them in response to their needs and with respect to how they live, to each his or her own. It's a shame that some folk seem to freak at anther's choice of pet.

I for instance detest wasps, but somewhere out there, is someone who'd probably has a terrarium full of paper nests. And here I am, a furry that loves honeybees (Hey! They make HONEY! how can't you love em?! :-D)

He's a pretty pretty thing. Hehe, I'd move veerry slowly around em. :-3

Yes, so true. And I've seen pet wasps XD I just really love caring for and watching arachnids and bugs. it's a type of zen just to watch them mill around. and terrariums are quite pretty.

That's exactly how I feel about rats! Especially they are the friendliest, cleanliest, and most intelligent pet rodents. :3 They are the best pets in the world to me, despite their getting sick easy and short life span...

I must say I am terribly arachnaphobic, like hyperventilate, cry, and stop breathing acting up my asthma. It's rather pathetic! XD But I appreciate how they are beautiful, make good pets, and are so interesting. I just can't look at them or be in the same room. :( It's too bad more people can't be as sensible.

It needs a laserbeam strapped to it's back! No scorpion is complete without lasers!

*gives you a tiny fusion powered roboscorpion with optional incendiary laser, plasma torch, or sub-dermal injector (with reservoir rated for chemical, viral, or nanotechnical agents) based stingers*

have fun

might be a bit presumptuous but he looks poisonous as fuck XD

the somewhat translucent body of his sends that sort of flag.

He has a sting that's between 2 and 3 out of 5. Painful, but not deadly to a human unless they're allergic.

but does he glow under blacklight?

Freaky fact. A large majority of people who are totally spazzed by spiders by image alone, are not nearly as repelled by scorpions. This is inexplicable by any measure, as the varieties of lethal scorpion are much more prevalent then lethally venomous spider.

I have always been terrified of spiders. I am not specifically fond of arthropods in general, insectoid or arachnoid, but while i would prefer they left me alone, i do not cringe at the sight of them... this is weird, no?

The one arachnid that doesn't act up my phobia! <3 This is a really pretty one! Will it get much bigger? It's tail is so fat and cute. X3

I have a male and female of these. I was stunned how the colors were so much more vibrant on the male.

I also just read that they can be kept communal in a good sized keeper. I wanna say someone said 2.5" - 3". That makes me happy because now Im thinking if my female isnt already gravid it will be much easier to try and breed her with my male. =D
