hi guys... I just got my first scorpion ( flinders ranges scorpion about 2 months ago). i'll admit, i was a little freaked at handling him at first, but now I love him... does anyone else own these cool little guys.
well im not sure if there venemous to people but they kill there pray by stabing them with there tail im sure theres venom but mine have never striked me tho mine are tiney like 2 cm max
They are all venomous (hence being a scorpion ). I had Flinders Range scorpions (and still one adult Black Rock Scorpion) and could/can handle all of them without a drama. It's quite amazing really when you realize that if you don't cheese something off, it often reciprocates the same respect (most of the time )
Yeah so if they're dangerous, and you accidently annoyed one or it accidently hit you, how does their venom affect people?
Cos I know people have good snakes that sometimes have a bad day and strike, but no harm other than a hole or two and and some bleeding. Ot maybe do scorpions not get so easily annoyed??
i was told a with scorpion sting you just get a bit of blistering and numbness... a bee sting can be more harmfull... it doest bother me though because theyre pretty gentle they just look scary ha!. any one got pics.
now, it is north american scorpians not australian ones, but it gives us a pretty good idea, down the bottom of the page it has 'did you know' facts and one of them is that scorpians kill so many mexicans a year, whether it be lack of medicine or that some scorpians have the potential to kill humans, I'm not sure.
