hey i have a baby flinders ranges scorpion and it stung my when i was feeding him (i couldnt find my tongs) what should i do is it enough venom to do any thing i mean where he stung me just hurts a little!
before buying any reptile/ scopions you should read up on how venomous they are and what will happen if you get bitten/ stung. do a quick google search, i don't keep scorpions so i can't answer you.
this is off living jungle web site.
Larger scorpion species such as the Desert, Rainforest and Flinders Range Scorpion can inflict more potent stings. Those who have adverse reactions to stings of any kind should be very cautious when keeping scorpions. Living Jungle strongly advises against handling your scorpion for this reason!
so i doubt you will be sick unless your allergic to other things like bees.
Scorpions are venomous, although no Australian species are considered to be dangerous to humans there is still the risk that you may be allergic to their venom in a similar way that some people are allergic to a bees sting, therefore death is still a possibility due to anaphylactic shock and handling should always be avoided.
Similar to what i was thinking but with the aid of hindsight i would have written "Before aquiring any reptile/ scorpion" :lol:before buying any reptile/ scopions you should read up on how venomous they are and what will happen if you get bitten/ stung. do a quick google search, i don't keep scorpions so i can't answer you.

yea cheers i think ill be fineYeah I was going to say, never buy any venomous animal unless you know how venomous they are and what to do when stung/bitten/envenomated? (I don't know the correct term) and how to handle it safely.

So unless you are allergic to bee stings, you should be fine, however don't take my word 100% for that as I'm no expert on scorpions.
neither do i as im not allergic to bee stingsAs said already, you'll be fine, unless your allergic to bees or something. The most it would do to you is sting for a while, maybe even rash and/or swell.
I don't think you're in any danger.
