My Pet Scorpion (NF)

Recommended Posts

Tonight I took my big female Emperor Scorp out of her tank for a quick bath in the sink. I have had her for 2 months & use a set of bent tongs to lift her by the tail.

Anyway, I put her on my bed to give her room to walk. I just sat with her for about an hour getting braver as we got to know each other better! Lol..

 

At one point she crawled up onto a pillow & I used the tongs across & in front of her to stop her.

She gently grabbed the metal tongs with each pincer then swung her tail over. I thought she was going to attack the tongs but instead.. she started sharpening her stinger the way you would use a steel rod to sharpen a knife!!!!

I was blown away by this creatures subtle intelligence..

All of Creation is truly amazing-astounding - wonderful in it's own way. God bless the creatures & us all. Peace..Dan

Believe it or not..the sting is supposedly a #1 on a scale of 1-10 pain threshold. More or less like a bee sting!

They also are very conservative with injecting venom & will usually "dry-sting" you with a fair-warning. ;)
