@Bjtm72198 Removing the stinger is a dumb idea.. I have seen people do it and generally results in injuring/killing the scorp. If your that worried about getting stung that need to do something like that to it then probably shouldn't have it ;)
@ReptileMan27 im not worried about getting stung im worried about it getting loose XD if my cage should tip over and it got out in a room with out me knowing...well u kno, i had my emp. scorpion's stinger removed and my flat scorpion's stinger removed too they seem fine tho. i got them 3 months ago,
@ReptileMan27 plus its not worth the risk of killing it Because the sting is only like a bee sting, Plus i've never been stung by mine and i let it crawl on my face.
@SPS148669 Emperor Scorpions Are Venomous But Its Not Bad At All Humans Don't Really Get Affected By The Venom Unless They Are Allergic...It Just Hurts Like Hell...
I have a history in keeping reptiles and such, I've also handled some scolopendra giganteas, and afterwards I regret even taking the risk of doing that! My question is though, is a Emperor scorpion venomous? It should be, but is it enough to harm a human being?
@SgtDeepshit Yes emperors, as well as all scorpions are venomous. However the venom on P. imperator is not considered dangerous to people.. Their venom is used generally just for defense. They catch/kill prey with large powerful pincers.. However even though they considered "harmless" to people it's important to remember everyone can react differently to their venom.. If allergic to bee's a sting could be worse etc..
hey man , great vid! do u have any tip for me, i killed my last scorpion unknowingly, cus the themp was to low and sprayd to much water into his cage... Im sad about it and i rly wanna start with a new . I got a better Terarium now, and a better breeder but i wanna know how u ceep the heat and atmosfer right,,
@Kottekungen Their are couple ways can heat it.. A simple light on top of cage.. Would go with a infared or other nocturnal bulb.. The wattage depends on size of cage and temps where the cage is.
@UFCGoldZone i dont speak from experince (yet lol) but having seen others get pinched im betting 1 being not very painful and 10 being painful as @%$# i think a 5 or 6. getting stung on the other hand is said to be like being not jabbed with a needle but have it on you and forced in :O so..thats a good 8..maybe 8 and a half
I always put the one I had on my shoulder, while at hastings the people would be just looking at me like if I were some freak xDD I miss him :/ I loved the little guy
your enclosure for him is so lame you don't show it LOL nice looking scorp tho... was hoping you'd give us a demo on his huge pinchers .. um. your slacking and it's kinda making me angry. so get on that. like. now. i'd like to see an update on the pyxie plz and or feeding doesn't matter just want to see how big it's gotten. LoL don't argue with me. and btw. theres a ghost behind you.
@BrittanyNicole1990 lmao, you more then welcome to come over and let him pinch you ;). your right, there is a ghost behind me. I called him and sent him to go get you :p
@ReptileMan27 the offer is tempting but i have to pass. i'm not going to the states just for that. i'm not even legal there yet. so i'll wait till next year. and nah, he's my best bud. i sent him to bother you for the night. so do my a favor and entertain him for a bit before ya send him back
@BrittanyNicole1990 lol, our dumb president is not even "legal" here and so is good portion of people here lmao. I don't think one more gonna hurt anything ;).
@dinomanj haha was wondering how long was gonna take to get that question.. I have never been stung. I rarely handle any scorps and treat them all with respect. It has worked for me.
id love to have one but my dad says i have to wait till i move out -__-

It's pretty funny to me that when you first put your right hand in front of your left, the scorpion was just like "Fuck you, I'm not moving." XD

@ReptileMan27 Okay, that sounds legit!
Are they easy to keep compared to lets say a Savannah Monitor or a Tarantula?
SgtDeepshit 2 months ago
@SgtDeepshit MUCH easier compared to a Sav monitor. As far as a Tarantula.. Both very easy to care for..
ReptileMan27 2 months ago
@ReptileMan27 Okay! That's good to hear! I've kept Savannah Monitors as well as Tegus, and they were both pretty tricky!
I find the P.imperator very fascinating, and I've longed to keep one!
Thank you
