yeala.. this is what they suppose to do

should ask NZX open the thread as he is quite pro on gecko and beardie~

no no..i am not a pro. Only kno some basic stuff.

mcgyver...dat pic whos a pair of asian forest scorpions.
Adult ones it seems.
Hey none of u kena sting by ur scorpions yet rite???
I hope not...
COz so far i never kena sting b4..nor have i been biten by any T.
Lucky..haha.

hEY nzx,

don't wish for it...Scorpion(AFS) wouldn't be as severe as a Tarantula Bite. Then again if you're allergic, it WILL kill you.....

according to the Great Cornelia


I've never had any "accidents: with my arachnids either and I don't intend to.

haha..wan get sting by own pets meh??
nvr been sting b4 n dun intend to also..
hhe.waitng for new emperor to moult leh..
hv eat also..

Nop..i aint wishing for it man!!!
hahahaha
I aint some sadist. hehehe
But then u must be ready for when u do get stung/biten.
I mean...accidents DO happen. Like when u drive...u drive carefulyl also some crazy feller will bang into u. Or make a silly move that u cant avoid hitting him.
SOmething like dat lar...ready urself mentally to get tagged coz i think if we r to continue keeping them, one day sure kena one. Ask those pros lar. All kena b4 punya.

actually i also scare to been sting .. duno if i being sting wat will i do leh .. did u all prepare some Antidote at house ?

Antitdote not available like in AMERICA or AUSSIE. Normally the PRO pet handlers or the researchers will have this stock in their first aid. I think the first thing to do after being tagged is to try and squeeze out the blood from the bite area then rush ASAP to the hospital/clinic. Oh ya and identify the animal that bit you.....

'
but just emperor or AFS got venom??
i din know bot that wor..

is tis the food for scorpion arh?

BEARDED DRAGON = a lizard people keep as pets, not scorpion food

If its the case of emperors and AFS....they tend not to sting you but to pinch more often. If these scorpion sp. do bite you, you need not worry too much as their venom is mild. The way to gauge the toxicity of the scorpion venow is to see if the specimen has big or small pincers. The bigger pincer scorpion uses more pincers than sting to catch and kill its prey by overpowering it. You better be wary of the small pincer sp. like the desert scorpions and especially the 'deathstalker' which someone was selling here earlier. They use their venom to kill as their pincers are small......and you'll definetly feel the affects of the venom.....and it kicks in pretty fast....

yup...AFS and emperor sting are akin to a bee sting. local swelling n pain plus some redness. be back to normal in an hour to a day.

But buthid family of scorpion and also the deathstalker..dun play play man!!!
hand dun go near them better!!!
no antivenom to save u!!!

yup..ready top buy casket if get sting!!!!

just sharing a picture of me fattened up H spinifer



compared to this (older picture):

only one picture showed up...

mine shows 2....

Ok..now it shows 2.
Nice..!! hehe.
Somehow their pincers look smaller when they are still young. Of coz smaller lar compared to adult. But i mean....in refference to their body.
Hmm..

Ooh CNY promotion..click my siggy.
