Unbelievable nerves of steel. Held an Emperor once - but dont think I have the desire to hold a Parabuthus!

hi bro i'm from the philippines can i ask how much do these ptrans scorps grow?how many inches? and can i ask how big(in inches the 6instars of these species can get? thanks ;) nice vid and handling

[thedunwichwhore]

wow Gs.have you posted this on the forums yet?!?!

i can tell your p.trans doesnt feel threatened and you have great handling skills but still,your crazy!

So, you seem like you're the best person to ask.

Why are my scorpions so skittish? They're afraid of everything! Even meal worms and crickets! I have a Hairy Desert Scorpion and a Red Claw I don't know the scientific names cuz I'm more of a tarantula person but they take forever to catch and eat their food like days with the food running around the tank. I've tried tongs but they run off to their hides away from the tongs. Got any ideas whats going on?

Hi Bro,

Might be useful if you can email me a couple of their pics and their enclosure settings and its easier to discuss over mail. I'll try to see if i can help.

Cheers,

GS

no, though it'll suck if it tags you, I would personally rather be pelted by a 100 paintballs.
