you mean yellow fat tail? im waiting for NZX to find out and let us know. Anyway that species is the most poisonous species on earth and probably we won't be able to get antivenom here for it. One sting and probably in 10hours time...BYE BYE Earth hello Heaven...

where do u guys stay har? I wanna make sure i'm not staying anywhere near you guys... scared of getting stung by one of them and I die instantly

you must be alking about the death stalker

hmm...i think death stalker is another one..

yellow fat tail sting = 2 hours you'll be humping angels in heaven

any pic for new species?

when u put on ur hand...it wont sting u meh while u catch them..??

haha. Sorry i havent got any leads yet as to where to get fat tails or deathstalkers. Still looking.

Anyway for emperors and asian forests they dun usually sting u. And from my experience they very calm n relaxed. Dun really mid my hand. I can handle them safely. Never been stung b4. But u must be smart to see their reactions. Onnce they go into defensive pose then dun kacau them anymore.

If i ever get dangerous species then i will only use my chopsticks to handle them. Thats wut i use now..haha. Dun have foreceps yet.

Yeah UV pls dun on for long time...i only on for like 10 to 15 minutes in a week to see them glow for fun. Thats all.

if u guys wanna have a out of this world and extreme alien looking species. Check out the tailless whip scorpions. Haha. Google it.

NZX,
Take your time.....

As for getting stung, you won't be if you know ow to handle them. When I purchased my scorpion, the dealer showed me how to handle it by holding it by the tail and swinging it onto you hand. The tail is the safest part to hold as holding anywhere else would get you stung. BTW mine even came with tape covering its sting. I requeated it to be removed which were met with the reaction "You gila Kah". Subsequently the dealer got bitten(not stung) by it during the tape removel process...

Eh...??? suddently talk about ham chim peng...i feel hungry. Hahahhaa

Depends on species lar. I handle my heterometrus sp. with my hands lar. No problem at all. Kena pinch by its pincers lar...my housemate kena i didnt kena b4. But it really doesnt wanna use its stinger. Only younger scorpions will try to sting. But they are so small the stinger cant even pierce ur skin.

But i will never ever put my hand near a yellow fattail or a deathstalker. hahaha. So in the end..just wanna say..be smart. Dun simply take risks. Educate ourselves and then when we got knowledge we know wut can do and what not to do. That all lar.
