Death Stalker handling (L. quinquestriatus) #2

So my little Death Stalkers are starting to grow up and I've decided to make another short video of one out of the five. I DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT, advise the handling of scorpions! Especially this species. If stung, this scorpion could kill you. Don't be an idiot like me and handle them -- thanks!!!

I believe it's a 4i? I'm not quite sure.

Again ... Don't do it!!! If you want to handle a scorpion, get an Emperor (Pandinus imperator) - they're MUCH safer!

Some info on them:
---
The Death Stalker Scorpion may be small, but it is the most toxic scorpion on earth. In general, scorpions with slim and narrow pincers are equipped with more toxic venom. Powerful venom compensates for the scorpion's weaker pincers and lack of brawny strength. This scorpion's sting delivers extremely toxic venom that can cause extreme pain, convulsions, paralysis, and even death by heart or respiratory failure. The Death Stalker Scorpion is found in North Africa and the Middle East.

@FuRiOuSP3NgUiN personally I would have at least leather gloves b4 holding something like that. A grasshopper looks like a giant compared to that thing.
