Scorpion Jumps in My Snake Tank

A scorpion bonus today. I was ready to put my Malaysian Pit Viper in the tank when I noticed something in the corner... a SCORPIAN (SCORPION)! HA! Nice bonus... very small and probably deadly, so goes the relationship between small and large scorpions. Smaller scorpions are the more dangerous, poisonous, and sometimes 'deadly'. I'll look this one up - or, better yet you guys can tell me what kind it is. Scorpions are not my bag baby... Caught in southern Thailand.

nice pictures! what camera do you have??

[thaipulsedotcom]

@TheAngelgirl7 It's just a Sony Cyber-shot h20 I think it's called. Easy for video and photos. I use it for everything you see here in wide format 720p. The other more square videos are with another Sony Cyber-shot - uhm, DSC-90 maybe? Cheap cameras ($300) 3 years ago, and work really well with windows movie maker and saving to high resolution videos (2000kpps+).

i like how in all that mess you know exactly where a screwdriver is on the floor

@zama59 yah! I'm not sure why I knew it was there either... it's a mess in the garage.

Looks a bit like some kind of Lychas species. Might be Lychas mucronatus or something like that. Better not get stung by those (same applies for any kind of venomous animal, i guess) but they aren't deadly. Of course envenomations always pose a greater threat for children, old and 'weak' people (disease, etc). Having an allergic reaction to a sting can also kinda spoil the fun but in general, i think this specimen isn't that dangerous at all. A sting 'd probably hurt, but you should be ok.

I'm guessing I'm allergic to scorpion venom because when I ate one - even that cooked venom caused me an emergency hospital visit with my lungs closing down. Not sure if that generalizes to all scorps or not... I'm careful with them though!

[SprayCaint123]

@thaipulsedotcom my home is the same way, everything (to the untrained eye) looks like a tornado killed it. But I know if i reach into my closet between that box of books and my tackle box and turn left at the box of spare gunparts and spent shells, then take another left by the bag of crab exos i should find a green lighter.
