Pandinus Imperator - "Emperor Scorpion" - Handling

[Oneuglymother]

@ruyy23 some people pick them up by their tails and some people put their hands in front of the scorpion and see If it walks on

[ruyy23]

how do u pick them up out of the cage?

[danielbmf100]

[RDdaNINJA]

...............I want one

[fadalisdestroyer666]

I think every scorpion can kill you its a mator how much venom is injected. Even pandinus cavimanus has caused hypersensitivity in adults!

[Relentlezz707]

A quick question would you have a big reaction to a emeror scorpion ? B/c im allergic to bee stings and i sure dont want to find out if i am allergic to a sting from my 2 inch emperor scorpion

[lizdunn69]

Do you think he like you?

[vince1548167]

Bah, I really don't like how it's sting is compared to a bee sting. I would say that it is the same in terms of pain but their toxins are completely different. As far as I can tell from looking at both poisons (in articles online) that it would be physically impossible to be allergic to the Emperor Scorpion venom. My reason for this is because the Emperor venom does not contain histamine, but bee venom does which is the component that causes allergic reactions.

[awhatzable]

WHERE DID U BUY 1 ? is there a website that would ship to Australia !!??

[CrazyMonkey1235]

gangster scorpion lol

[BelowMe16]

what's the name of the music playing in the background?

[FuRiOuSP3NgUiN]

How do i find out whether i will have an allergic reaction to the sting? I suppose letting a scorpion sting me is out of the question....

[brandonjaeger]

@FuRiOuSP3NgUiN You won't know until you get stung (=

[sephiroth7000]

@brandonjaeger i live in michigan were there are no scorpions if i buy a empror scorpion online and i get stung my dad says there no medicean here to treat it and i willk have to die is that true i guess my question is do they have treatment for every stat in usa for empror scoripions im not aelrgic to bee stings

[Maggothouse]

@FuRiOuSP3NgUiN It's simple, are you allergic to bee's? If not, then no, you're not. If you are, I'm sure you can figure it out.

[murder666junkie]

If you're allergic to beestings you're probably allergic to scorpions.. That's the only way I know.

[thatonekidperson123]

do you need a certain humidy or temerature thing for an emperor scorpion?

[brandonjaeger]

@thatonekidperson123 You can use just about any temperature gauge. Most of the humidity gauges on the market aren't very accurate. You're better off getting one of the digital ones as they are much more accurate than the others.

[TheFIlipinoPrince]

Do you need to de chlorinate the water you give a scorpion?

[brandonjaeger]

@TheFIlipinoPrince You can. I use ReptiSafe. I use it in everything including the water used to expand bricks of coco fiber (=

[agattee]

i have L2 and waiting for nex level

[anonymous812]

Nice Scoprion, also cool living quarters lol

[gromgrom777]

shes the size of my male

however

same pet store i got my male and female, there was a girl, had to be at her last molt before dying, she was literally 7 inches or so long. had her in a medium plastic terranium and she took up the whole thing. if shes still there in a few days, i will get her.

[brandonjaeger]

That's pretty big. I think the scorp in this video is around 6 inches. I never measured her.

[gromgrom777]

told the guy at the store i was too afraid to handle her or even get her out. she was too hyper and huge. :X maybe next time

[brandonjaeger]

Thanks for all of the comments! You can view my channel for many more handling videos of all sorts of different species!

[gromgrom777]

mine wont let me hold them :(

damn pet stores gave them a super pissed off attitude about that

female is a bitch, about everything, feeding, cleaning, etc.

male is a calm cool dude. i really wanna hold him but yeah. hes a little defensive about contact.

[panostsak]

I used to own a female...They are so gentle, the worst they might do is give you a pinch with their claws. They never sting (unless if you handle them very roughly)

[DarqueBeauty]

My emperor Osiris is almost that big. Yours looks well taken care of. Tame too!

[blastingsound]

wat kind of light did u use for the terrarium?

[brandonjaeger]

A 60-75W house light is fine for a 10 gallon tank. Actually a 75W should be enough for even a 20.

[buytime]

Glad to see another Empy owner out there ^_^. I have asian forest scorps and Empys. Soon will have flat rock scorps and thick tails. ^_^

[michael55443332211]

ever been stung?

[brandonjaeger]

Nope.

[Kingvenom7]

dammmmm im going to miss my emperorrrrrrrr!

[RandullBull]

That's like a land lobster! Wild.

[cueto4life]

i did sign up but its confusing mine is cueto4life i just want a 2' emperor scorpion

[cueto4life]

im looking for a baby one like 2" long or something like that and he sosent have none in stoc right now ={

[brandonjaeger]

Google "Scorpion Forum." Register there and we'll help you find a scorp somewhere. I'm bjaeger on there (=

[wolfboy202]

do you always pick em up? and you pet em or not?

[cueto4life]

how much was it??

[brandonjaeger]

$10 from Adam Jansen Exotics. That's the average price you'll pay from online dealers. You'd probably pay $20 and up from a pet store.

[EvilBerzerker2]

oh forgt to say try joining Scorpion forum, theyll tell you what it is for sure.

[brandonjaeger]

Lol I'm a moderator over there (=

[EvilBerzerker2]

You sure its mycosis and not just caked crap on her exoskeleton cause emps getting mycosis is extremely rare considering they live in a humid environment in the wild nadh ave had hundreds of millions of years to addapt a defense against it.

[brandonjaeger]

It's black dots and looks like it would be mycosis. I know about why they get the condition and I, too, thought it was strange.

[mastamage1231]

nice scorpion you got there!

i want one 2

[xdragon573]

what happens if they sting you?? cuz i really want one

[SSRHNBK]

The sting of the P. Imperator barely hurts, and is comparable to that of a bee sting in both pain, and venom.

[KingdomKonstriction]

juggalos unite mmfwcl

[king083190]

man when i pick my shit up he fuckin pinches me and that shit hurts

[brandonjaeger]

LOL well I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you should rubberband it's pinchers together. I'm kidding -- don't do that!!! You could try getting another scorp to go with the current one. It may make him/her a bit less pinchy...

[mrsocko551]

i had a hermit crab that pinched me and gave me a fucking insane cut.

[vikkiandbradley07]

and your point is!!!

this is a scorpain not a crab!

[SandDragon13]

how long did it take for her to get used to you? my male scorp sasori sever stays still in my hand like that

[brandonjaeger]

Hmm... I don't think they ever get used to you handling them, as their brains are only made up of a few cells. It's all in what their "personality" is like and how you handle them. That one is very docile and never shows any signs of aggression, whereas my other two are somewhat aggressive.

[sucafuof]

Sweet pandinus!!!!!!

I love scorpions

[brandonjaeger]

Thanks, dude (=

[narutofroever]

Again to another person, dont hold it you will decrease lifespan and health read caresheets

[brandonjaeger]

I know that it stresses them out. I don't hold my scorpions often. Usually only to make these videos. It's not like I only own emps anyway.

[Ir0nIsland]

I'm just doing some research on this Scorpion cause I might get one soon. :) , they seem interesting and cool! Good video btw Nice lights in the background!

[brandonjaeger]

Thanks. They're pretty cool and interesting, indeed! Go to scorpionforum[d0t]darkbb[d0t]c­om if you have any questions. You can also go to bugRunner's channel on here, as he has some very informative videos (=

[Ir0nIsland]

Wow thanks. I pretty much know the basics. Just what they need to eat but I havn't even searched outside Youtube yet! Thanks I'll yet out the links :)

[DevilsPlaymate13]

twiztid.. niiiice :)

Sweet emporer scorpion!

[brandonjaeger]

Thanks, fam (=

[BrandonD293]

but nice scorpion

[BrandonD293]

wat a gehhto song

[brandonjaeger]

Haha if you say so, buddy.

[wasteofspace2008]

what is mycosis?..i just it mine a few weeks ago.

[mcneilscorpionone]

its when mould begins to develop on the scorpion. i think.

[brandonjaeger]

Little black spots. It happens when you keep the humidity too high. I don't think it's deadly... Unsure.

[Steven16440]

Shes Beautiful Bro. Thats Ashame Shes Sick. But Its Not Life Threatening Or Is It?

[brandonjaeger]

Nope. I don't think that it's life-threatening.

Thanks for the comment (=

[mcneilscorpionone]

nice, man! sometimes the scorps keep running along your hands and its like a treadmill! 111.
