Hi, welcome to the hobby
But 1st of all why wan to handle a scorpion?
Treat them like goldfish where u can only view it but not handling them
Some people believe cutting the stinger (Not telson) will not kill the scorp, some believe it will leave a open wound and the scorp will eventually die from it
To be frank i dont really know but its the best if u dun cut it, be more humane and etiquette when dealing with pets
U don't defang ur tarantula did u?
Aside from that, for a AFS u dont really need to worry bout their sting, u should be kful with their pincher instead as they tend2 pinch more than stinging
Dun ask god to bless us, i hope god bless ur scorp

Kanineh
Exception for ppl who ask politely

They dun die immediately after losing it
I personally have my 1st AFS stinger clipped off, she live till 1year and then die off
I have another friend who have a AFS with stinger clipped off, it die after a few weeks
A friend have a AFS for sale with the stinger clipped off last time, was returned by the customer, it died after a few weeks
Whether they die from the open wound of the sting or other reason is unsure but im leaning on the stinger

Also it's not fun to clipped away the stinger, i would appreciate if u can drop off ur "^^" smiley

Hmm actually me, rideon and if not mistaken lester also have afs with clipped stinger
I know mine and rideon's one are already in our freezer right now, not sure bout lester one thou
It's a disgust to see a pet shop offering to clip off the scorpion stinger
Hopefully we can do something bout it in the future....
Such a disgrace....

This is for sam and rideon


Thanks for all the bday wish!

Dyskinetic Syndrome????
Or does it looks like this?

Bryan,

Not much is known about the disorder called dyskinetic syndrome - it remains a mystery disease. Afflicted tarantulas usually exhibit uncontrolled twitching of the legs, sometimes with such force that the tarantula is thrown about. Some people have reported cases where the tarantula jerked back and forth - frontwards, then backwards.

Researchers are trying to find the cause, but right now there are only some ideas held by experienced tarantula breeders and keepers. Pesticides that accidentally get on the tarantula's food or are sprayed in the household are suspect. Other chemicals, such as air fresheners and cleaning products may also be involved. Mold in the cage is another possibility. Stressed animals are most likely to be affected, so stress may be an important factor, too.

Very few things have been found to help. Some time with the cage placed in a very humid bathroom has been reported helpful by some owners. Some tarantulas get better on their own, while others die. You can try the humid bathroom - run a hot shower until the room becomes steamy. Make sure the food you give is pesticide free, and remove any suspicious chemicals from the tarantulas room.
