[Tilted]

i was stung by my maylasion forest scorpion 12hrs ago when it happened my index finger and thumb hurt now just my index finger to my first knuckle i do do not know what to do could you give me some advise it makes it supper easy to type ha ha ha

As long as you're not allergic you should be fine. Their sting isn't any more potent than the likes of an Emperor, as far as I'm aware.
If you've ever survived a bee sting, then you'll be ok

If you've gone 12 hours since the sting without any major allergic symptoms, you'll be fine. Take some ibuprophen or tylenol for the pain if you want, and you'll be alright by tomorrow.

ouchie about the sting...but as the others have said...if you are still alive 12 hours after it...then you have nothing to worry about *as in dying etc*

take some tablets and watch out next time

Hope you are felling better, what is your scorp standing on?

 

[Rosenkreuz]

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like aquarium gravel.

Its on Vermiculite,
should i be using something else?
How do you sex these things?
Any previous threads ????

I'm sure your scorp would be a lot happier on soil, cocoa fibre or something similar. I realize that some pet shops recomend vermiculite but it is no good for scorps as it sticks to there underparts and must be uncomfortable for them. Also scorps like to burrow so a cocoa fibre and peat mix with a bit of sand is ideal. Personally, I just use peat soil and compact down and all my scorps have extensive tunnel networks. If you would like to see your scorps in their burrows, get a long thin ballon like performers use, blow it up and place it next to the glass. Cover it in soil (4-6inches) then de-flate the baloon and place the hide at the entrance, your scorp will use this as a burrow and you'll still be able to see it. For more info, check out 'Thaedion' s 'false bottom set-up' videos on You-Tube.

What was your temps and humidity at? Heterometrus is a tropical scorpion, need 85-90F and 80+% humidity. They have identical reqiurements to Pandinus imperator, the emperor scorp. Did he have a waterbowl as well?
