easier to put it this way, research is always the best, if u are aware of the consequences of rearing a more advanced sp. and are prepared for it then go ahead, if u are not and just lazy to read but wanna get an advanced sp. and show around wat you have got then get ready to be flamed, it all comes out too whether you have enough knowledge about rearing an advanced sp or not, i think that why people say u should start slow with afs and work your way up is to help you get the basics right so that you know what u are involving urself into and even if something bad happens it won't be as worse as what a yft will do to you

funny though, thinking dat is it purposely his front teeth hv crack on it so de tail of de scorpion jst fit de hole while he bite them so they wont run away...

its called Heterometrus nepalensis but i was just wandering weather anyone has seen any pictures of it yet whats known about it.

i've read the article but no pics are available rite now... wonder how it looks like...

I think what is most important now is that K.Fai knows what he's dealing with and also anyone who is living with him (Sibling or parents alike) should know about the scorpion and the potency of it's venom.

Izzulogy: I remember your case, it's quite similar to the current one except that you were sure that you are in for certain things at that time.
It's been exactly one year since. How's things going for you?
