man i put meal worms and crickets in my baby emps face and he backs up and acts like a straight pussy, y?? if theyre not hungry shouldnt they atleast be territorial??
He is scared because hes having something randomly shoved in his face..i wouldnt call him a pussy unless you want something to attack you to show they arent....i mean is that what you are expecting from him? and animals are not territorial against things like a cricket, it's obviously not competition to them, its either a pest if they arent hungry, or food if they are. nothing to be worried about to them, they arent stupid.
Go do research (Online) on how to take care of a scorpion befour u die in your sleep. Just to let you know Research was the (Key) word in the 1st sentence dumb ass!
Please do not just feed it pet shop crickets. These lack virtually any real nutrition. Even gut loading them is not doing much. The best food can be had free, it's in your backyard. Cicadas, grasshoppers, June Bugs, Black Crickets, large moths, and caterpillars all work great. During winter I will feed mine Lubbers, which is a pretty large meal. Mine tends to be lass active when the weather gets colder. I have mine in a 20 ga with 4 good hiding spots.
@jschultzVII and christ, as for you, my little farm is MADE UP of crickets that have grown from nothing but pet shop crickets. you have to start somewhere. pet shop crickets are the only ones you can guaruntee are free of disease and pesticide that can hurt your pet! you don't know where the fuck these other crickets have been when you catch them in the wild! i started with 20 pet shop crickets and a large transparent rubbermade container with dividers and holes i drilled in the top for air.
@jschultzVII you don't know where ANY of these insects have been. you can't guaruntee your happy little cicada didn't just come from a dutch elm that was sprayed for caterpillars, or the grasshopper you found isn't from the farm on the outskirts of town that just got misted for saw-fly larva, or that little caterpillar in your garden doesn't secrete something toxic that can make your scorpion sick. breed your fucking bugs.
@jschultzVII generation by generation they'll accumulate in nutritional value if you make sure they eat enough vitamin rich food, and dont just feed them mouse food like pet stores do. give them shit like fruit, grains, veggies, and fatten them up to hell. let them do each other for a week, then sift the bottom of that quadrant, move the adults out of it and put the eggs in potting soil, warming it. the adults are now nothing but feed. and a new generation is about to hatch. feed them good.
@jschultzVII My emperor has a 60 with a 2-teir hiding zone made of 2 clay pots, 1 on its side semi-buried, 1 strait up with a plant growing out of it (hole in the bottom so he can hide in the roots of the plant). cement buddha with a hole in the bottom, dirt cave held up by an empty coconut, half coconut on teir 2, 5 flat large rocks to slip under, and a ceramic pot bottom for a water dish that is so shallow drowning is impossible. heat pad is under a brick in the bottom.
@nakamuraabe WHY? Females are beautiful. They grow larger, they're worth more, they're far more predictable, and the maintenence is well worth it. If you can find somebody with a confirmed male, baby scorpions are a very exciting way to spend some time. If you're lucky enough to see them born, it's crazy. Then just seeing the way a mother behaves towards them is really quite miraculous and just proves bugs aren't stupid invertebrates who can't feel, they can love and mother. Awesome.
Side Notes: Plantation Soil is a brown absorbant substrate. But I can't see a tarantula enthusiast not knowing that.. I'd reccomend putting a rock in the water dish to prevent the insect from drowning but in your case she's already so damn huge I see little chance of that happening. Choices for things to hide under include things like large flat rocks, hollowed stumps, a broken plant pot. If you want to have some fun put in a U.V. Light that you can turn on and off and watch her glow!
@fantabulousK UV lights are very harmful to them! its only ok for a minute and NOT regularly. They do not like any light and make sure any heating lamp you get for them (which they dont need, just a heat pad on the side of the tank) DOES NOT contain UVA or UVB rays. Also regular lights are stressful for them since they like dark places. (this was half a response to fantablousk about UV rays and half advice to mjellyg)
@LarissaLurid Well of course its not a light for leaving on all the time. It's just a fun thing because the bacteria under the shell makes them glow in the dark under those lamps. Good lord. like shining headlights at a deer and looking at how they dont move.
@fantabulousK yea just the way you said it might be mistaken for people leaving it on all the time because it looks cool, like i said its ok for a minute but i didnt want people thinking that it was something to leave on all the time like you could with a red infrared bulb or something like that. dont worry im not trying to be mean lol
One word; tank. Bigger than what you have; about 10-20 gallons, no different than you'd give your tarantulas. Fill with plantation soil, mist once daily. Give her something to hide under (standard with scorpions I'm sure you know) and a water dish.. Her venom is only about as potent as a yellow jacket so you're looking at pain for 1-2 hours and redness in a 7-10 cm radius for up to 3 days unless you're allergic, in which case you're looking at a large rash, anaphylactic shock or even death.
Get a larger tank, a pair of thick gloves and the usual stuff like a warming light and artificial terrain but for goodnessake DO NOT piss the fucking thing off that is one mean beastie
try to get it ppl wild animals cant be pets ............. if it happeneds its rare compare to most , also u will find it depressed and boring ..... some animals born be to free ( wild animals mostly )..... unlike dogs and cats etc that always looking for master
@DefiDiboO actualy cave man an wemon domesticated wolves an thts were u get dogs the DNA of a wolf an dog are so close domestication is wht most scientist beleave happened
@crater612 Im Arabian and some rich people have lions there , yes lions as pets in gardens , My point was not bout domestication , just the idea of putting wild animal in cage , yea they dont attack you but in fact from there actions they are broke , And u know thats not how lions suppose to look like . its just big cat , Well my idea kinda away from this taming stuff , its more to be biological , just nvm bout me lol
Ok heres something you need to know, Emperer scorpions are very docile, just dont TRY to piss it off, you can handle them easily, their toxin is very minor and only results in a small numbing sensation and comparable to a bee sting or less of that of a bee sting depening on your resistance... keep them in a huge tank or medium size one, as it is known they use their arms to unweave simple wire roof cages etc
1 scrop can kill 1 bee in 1 hit. thay can kill a scorp with anothr scorp but it will do it in a tertorall-fret despay thas all I know im using my sis's acont im a boy and i love snaks
here is the overall i know as long as u feed it crickets, smaller insects,small clean mice ur scorpion will stay healthy and strong.Also make sure that u dont hold it during mating season u shouldnt be poked or pinched.And dont piss it off ,when its pissed off it becomes very territorial and aggressive.make sure that its cage has tall walls and alot of room.so thats the overall things u need to know
if you still have that thing, when i use to hold my i woul gently put my fingers into the soil and scoot him onto the palm then pick him out the more you bring them out the better they get with it
Also don't be such a Fcuking retard and poke it with what looks like a bent hanger, how'd you like it if a big steroid junkie pushed you around with a cane. That's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Don't be afraid to handle it, it's good for they're temperament, just make sure to pick it up by it's stinger, an don't touch behind they're heads otherwise they could get spooked an strike.
Emperor scorpions should not be kept in plastic boxes, they should always be kept in glass terrariums... They need either Pete moss as a substrate or plantation soil. As far as temperature they should be kept between 70F an 80F degrees, with 60% to 75% humidity. The substrate should always be kept damp to wet. Never use a backlight, just either a blue day glow heat bulb, or red heat light, no greater than 100watts depending on terrarium size. It needs a hide in order to feel secure an safe..
get a large citter cage its $17 or a tube 14Qt that what i have my female in keep cage moist and water bowl big enough for it to climb in feed 1 or 2 crickets a week and DO NOT USE TAP WATER CAN KILL SCORPION use bottled water mist cage down once a week the temp should be 70- 80 degrees* dont be afraid of stinger it used ass last stand its as bad as a bee sting

you got to pick it up by the back of the tail not the stinger but the shell tail it wont hurt them then just set it down there not poisnious so if they sting you it just a little pric
ok well keep the tank around 70 or 80 degrees keep the tank most
spray it down like once a week keep a water bowl in it
feed it dont use cedar chips that will kill it the best thing to use is coco nut husk and put a piece of cork bark so she can get under it and yeah dont poke at it that just makes it meaner and females are a little meaner that males from wat i found out with mine but they are easy to take care of
they dont have much venom it's less then a bee sting. they r absolutely harmless and docile. just pick it up it's not gnna hurt you. even if it does sting you it will only feel like a lil pin prick. most of the time they are just trin to intimidate you and wont even puncture the skin. i've only been handling them for a lil over a year at my job. i'm pretty much the only one there that will handle them without freaking out. i've been stung by them many times most of the times purposely.
dude i had scorpions i have gotten stung many times an if you dont want to pick it up dont lol its a dam bus i hate ppl that make big deals about sahit like that
flamers, stfu. at least he cared enough to post a vid to ask for help. jesus.
anyways, be careful of live feed. emperors can handle larger prey than crickets, it's just best to be cautious with anything that can fight back per se. A bigger tank is needed, depending on where you live and how cold it gets, a heating pad. other than that, dealing with scorpions isnt too hard. just dont do anything stupid like put it with your tarantulas or stick your finger in it's sting range. best of luck.
Take your scorpion and put it in your tarantulas tank and that way he'd have a bigger tank and you wouldn't have to feed it for months becuz he has some tarantulas to feed on and then all of your tarantulas will be gone becuz your scorpion ate them all and you would only have your scorpion so then you would turn in to a scorpion person and you could house them and breed them and have babies then sell them and make money instead of poking it all day like a fat lazy person who eats mcdonalds!
nice scorpioin i have two Emperor Scorpions also known as Flat rock scorpions a male and a female they had 15 babies i gave some away i have 9 babies left still they're very hardy animals but they can over eat so don't feed it too much make sure water is availible at all times cause they like to soak the bottom of their boddies spray the tank with water to keep it humid and have at least 2 hidding places for it, ooo they will rarely use their tails that's strickly for defense only

Here's some advice: PICK THE DANG THING UP AND QUIT POKING IT!...GET A BIGGER TANK THAN JUST A FREAKING TUB A WEAR THAT YOU FOUND IN THE KITCHEN! AND ALSO...(not advice) but if you're that afraid of the thing...i mean you're poking it with a stick and not even your finger like you're afraid it's gonna sting you...so anyway if you're that afraid of it then give it to a person who cares for scorpions instead of you who puts it in a tub a wear and pokes it all day and puts it on Youtube!
Why would you let something that could sting you and potentially give you an allergic reaction, somewhere big where it's hard to catch it? Maybe you should stop some animal rights vigilantie, because you suck at it, seeing as how you probably know jack about scorpions yourself.
That considered, I think the uploader should ask for advice somewhere else then youtube if you're actually serious about keeping things like this scorpion.
@Andreazor dude its as bad as a bed sting unless u allergic to bees ur fine a fever pain and thats it 2 or 3 days ive bee stung 10 times not in a row but total im fine and mines bigger than that one
@trevercapit12 emperor Scorpion can live in small tubs like that so know what your talking about before you say anything. I'm sorry i don't mean any thing about so don't take it in the wrong way
@trevercapito12 He just got it you idiot! He has never had a scorpion before and it was given as a gift so he had no idea it was coming or he would've researched it!
@zippybomb Nooooooo! Really? I had no idea that he got it as a gift! In fact, I just posted that comment because I didn't even watch this video! This retard has to research it BEFORE he gets it you idiot. I know he got it as a gift but he at least needs to research on it before he puts a video on Youtube of it in a tubawear tank poking it the whole time.
@5954ldydi i duno i never had any trouble picking mine up i handle Darth Sidius every day... i wouldnt even call it handling really he climbs onto my arm and just chillaxes there while i watch movies. he really doesnt give a shit. as far as arachnids go, these and rose hair tarantulas are about the friendliest it gets.
females are more potent than males. you can tell the sex by the little fins underneath them, small female , big male . . perfer a forest bedding . make a hide .... keep it moist . you dont have to mist them if you keep the humidity up . i have a male and female together in a 100 gal. tank and get along fine just limit handleing them cuz it stresses them out and so does a black light . other than that if it starts to drag its tail then its a fatass . and dont feed so much .
@mugurism That's sad, i felts so sorry for your scorpion. Ive heared that Emperor Scorpions got gestation periods that lasts several months. Longer than that of whales. SICK!! But very interesting :D
sprinkle water on the dirt get a bigger cage and emperor scorpions are only as venomous as a bee so if your alergic to bees just be careful and feed it like 1 to 2 crickets a week and get a water thing and fill it to about an inch and put it in a bigger cage when you get one so it wont over heat just spray the dirt when it is kinda dry
#1 the toxins in a scorpion stinger are nerotoxic meaning the affect the nervous system to kill or paralize their prey (Emperor Scorpions are not harmful to humans just hurts)
#2 buy the right mulch the wrong kind can kill his ass such as Cedar i think (not 100% sure) and other kinds
#3 they live a few years from what ive heard and need to eat 1 or twice atleast every 1-2 days
#4 if it dies you fucked up somwere and just lost 4-5 dollars
am looking into buying one.. my mom finaly said i can have one.. i made $70.. and i want to find a store that sell's Black emperor Scorpions, I live in Maricopa AZ(Arizona).. Any Help?
I am looking into buying one.. my mom finaly said i can have one.. i made $70.. and i want to find a store that sell's Black emperor Scorpions, I live in Maricopa AZ(Arizona).. Any Help?
@Gir62 uh i was at wildside pets in mesa and they have scorpions there so you should check it out i know they still have scorpions because i go there often check it out
seeying the date you posted your video I hope this still helps... first females have always been larger than males on the body size however pinchers are bigger on the male... first you should feed crickets 2-4 crickets a week depends... Do not expect her to stop after 4 an emperor scorpion will keep on eating even to get themselves sick :S... use some coconut residue for the grounding... it can be found anywhere in a pet store... and try to pick it up alot if not it will become agresive. havefun
if you need help ask me. well they eat meal worms super worms termites cockroaches and crickets. he needs more room.the have to be at 70 threw 85 degrees.buy some coco bark and make a little under ground hideout because they like to have a hidding spot.pick them up by the stinger.and spray his home with water 8 times a day thats all now bye hope he is safe.
fantastic bud... ive got sipders but i would assume same things appy... bigger tank, place to hide and a small verry shallow dish for water or a sponge/cotton wool ball soaked in water
hey i have 2 of thoes guys and they are pretty worth keeping you dont have to feed them much or worry about lighting and heating, also look wicked under a black light im sure you know that tho deff keep it, great thing to bring out when you have people over and drinkin they are pretty friendly as long as you handle them correctly
My advice to you if you're handling it, be as cool and calm as you can be, if they don't feel threatened then they won't get agressive, ih yeah and if you want to pick her up, try to pick her up from behind very slowly.
I have 2 that I handle Reguraly, they didn't like each other at first, I had to pull them apart but after a while they will just chill on each other. I put a small Cup Of water in the tank and the bigger scorpo is just semerged in water, I think he is sleeping.
i have one about five inchs long they can pretty much cut your freakin finger open with their pinchers.other than that she's pretty neat she looks heathy by her size they like alot of humdity not alot love heat about 70 to 80 F very aggressive if provoked alot if you can handle her thats great most dont depending on if they were held at younger age if you got any more questions let me know..
@larissalurid yeh i feel you, well mines eating now so its all good now

aww thats a great gift. just need a better enclosure though so go for something like a critter keeper or something.
fadalisdestroyer666 1 year ago
you got to pick it up by the back of the tail not the stinger but the shell tail it wont hurt them then just set it down there not poisnious so if they sting you it just a little pric
nilemonitor123 1 year ago
ok well keep the tank around 70 or 80 degrees keep the tank most
spray it down like once a week keep a water bowl in it
feed it dont use cedar chips that will kill it the best thing to use is coco nut husk and put a piece of cork bark so she can get under it and yeah dont poke at it that just makes it meaner and females are a little meaner that males from wat i found out with mine but they are easy to take care of

You should find out info about the animal BEFORE you get it. Its cruel to the animal otherwise.
elfwhitewave 1 year ago
they dont have much venom it's less then a bee sting. they r absolutely harmless and docile. just pick it up it's not gnna hurt you. even if it does sting you it will only feel like a lil pin prick. most of the time they are just trin to intimidate you and wont even puncture the skin. i've only been handling them for a lil over a year at my job. i'm pretty much the only one there that will handle them without freaking out. i've been stung by them many times most of the times purposely.

keep it in a hot tropical climate .. use a heat rock or heat pad...... i have had my male emperor scorpion for 2 years now ...
EliasAviles2010 1 year ago
flamers, stfu. at least he cared enough to post a vid to ask for help. jesus.
anyways, be careful of live feed. emperors can handle larger prey than crickets, it's just best to be cautious with anything that can fight back per se. A bigger tank is needed, depending on where you live and how cold it gets, a heating pad. other than that, dealing with scorpions isnt too hard. just dont do anything stupid like put it with your tarantulas or stick your finger in it's sting range. best of luck.
CelestialRayne2010 1 year ago
Take your scorpion and put it in your tarantulas tank and that way he'd have a bigger tank and you wouldn't have to feed it for months becuz he has some tarantulas to feed on and then all of your tarantulas will be gone becuz your scorpion ate them all and you would only have your scorpion so then you would turn in to a scorpion person and you could house them and breed them and have babies then sell them and make money instead of poking it all day like a fat lazy person who eats mcdonalds!

nice scorpioin i have two Emperor Scorpions also known as Flat rock scorpions a male and a female they had 15 babies i gave some away i have 9 babies left still they're very hardy animals but they can over eat so don't feed it too much make sure water is availible at all times cause they like to soak the bottom of their boddies spray the tank with water to keep it humid and have at least 2 hidding places for it, ooo they will rarely use their tails that's strickly for defense only

Here's some advice: PICK THE DANG THING UP AND QUIT POKING IT!...GET A BIGGER TANK THAN JUST A FREAKING TUB A WEAR THAT YOU FOUND IN THE KITCHEN! AND ALSO...(not advice) but if you're that afraid of the thing...i mean you're poking it with a stick and not even your finger like you're afraid it's gonna sting you...so anyway if you're that afraid of it then give it to a person who cares for scorpions instead of you who puts it in a tub a wear and pokes it all day and puts it on Youtube!

Why would you let something that could sting you and potentially give you an allergic reaction, somewhere big where it's hard to catch it? Maybe you should stop some animal rights vigilantie, because you suck at it, seeing as how you probably know jack about scorpions yourself.
That considered, I think the uploader should ask for advice somewhere else then youtube if you're actually serious about keeping things like this scorpion.

females are more potent than males. you can tell the sex by the little fins underneath them, small female , big male . . perfer a forest bedding . make a hide .... keep it moist . you dont have to mist them if you keep the humidity up . i have a male and female together in a 100 gal. tank and get along fine just limit handleing them cuz it stresses them out and so does a black light . other than that if it starts to drag its tail then its a fatass . and dont feed so much .

sprinkle water on the dirt get a bigger cage and emperor scorpions are only as venomous as a bee so if your alergic to bees just be careful and feed it like 1 to 2 crickets a week and get a water thing and fill it to about an inch and put it in a bigger cage when you get one so it wont over heat just spray the dirt when it is kinda dry
PROZACKMASTER 1 year ago
Excuse my spelling
#1 the toxins in a scorpion stinger are nerotoxic meaning the affect the nervous system to kill or paralize their prey (Emperor Scorpions are not harmful to humans just hurts)
#2 buy the right mulch the wrong kind can kill his ass such as Cedar i think (not 100% sure) and other kinds
#3 they live a few years from what ive heard and need to eat 1 or twice atleast every 1-2 days
#4 if it dies you fucked up somwere and just lost 4-5 dollars

seeying the date you posted your video I hope this still helps... first females have always been larger than males on the body size however pinchers are bigger on the male... first you should feed crickets 2-4 crickets a week depends... Do not expect her to stop after 4 an emperor scorpion will keep on eating even to get themselves sick :S... use some coconut residue for the grounding... it can be found anywhere in a pet store... and try to pick it up alot if not it will become agresive. havefun

My advice to you if you're handling it, be as cool and calm as you can be, if they don't feel threatened then they won't get agressive, ih yeah and if you want to pick her up, try to pick her up from behind very slowly.
