It happened because I got complacent. It never eats the back legs of the crickets, guess its a white meat scorpion. Anyway I went to pick up the legs which I usually do with tongs and thought he was further back in it's hide. Grabbed a leg and it ran out from the hide and nailed me on the finger. The pain was startling at first. Somewhat like sticking your finger on a hot soldering iron. Within 3 minutes it was a dull pain and my finger bit tight and swollen. Its been 4 hours and still a small dull pain and my finger is a little stiff. Other than that it wasn't too awful bad. Tongs for now for clean up. It wasn't a nasty sting, but I still don't want another one.
