okay, since this is the third time around, i have to share my dumbness with you guys :wall:
i was cleaning my martensii enclosure using tweezers. after i got all the left-overs of my martensii, i thought it would be cool if i made new hides for my babies so i had to get them out of their enclosure. the male was chilling upside-down on the driftwood so i easily managed to get him and put him in a deli cup. the female was in her burrow so i knew she was in her "leave me alone" mood but i still had to get her out. i gave her a lil push on the telson with my right index finger so she would go to my left hand which was already waiting for her to climb on to. then it happens, AGAIN!!! for the third freaking time, i got stung by the same female martensii which got me last week! this time i didn't panic. i dipped my hand in warm water then rinsed it with alcohol. the feeling was hot and tingling! it was fire and ice at the same time but there was no swelling. the pain lasted for about 18 hours then subsided gradually. i hope this is the last time :8o coz the next time, i'll sting back haha!
cheers,
