Do they exsist and does anyone have any info or pics of any?
clear scorps most likely came from a well circulated pic of a dune scorp fresh moltedNice looking Scorpion. Are these scorpions also called the "Clear" Scorpion? Some lady who worked at a pet store was talking about them.
There is no such thing as a poisonous scorpion.How poisonous are they and does anyone know where I can get a pair. Im trying to move out of my emp stage. Lol
To clarify Poison is contacted or ingested, venom is injected. Any type of animal that injects a toxin into your body is venomous. If you touch or ingest a toxin from a plant or animal and become sick then it is poisonous.There is no such thing as a poisonous scorpion.
The "venom is injected, poison is everything else" stance is convenient but not actually official. don't get me wrong, it is what i generally use too... but a lot (if not most) of my books and reading material pretty much use the words interchangeably
also, here is the "clear scorp" pic i bet the petstore lady is refering to

I agree with what you are saying. I was just trying to point out to someone new why the statement was made "scorpions are not poisonous". Every time someone says that - there is always someone pointing out that they are venomous not poisonous. Why? when we all know what they mean...it's their relevance to the poison vs venom discussion that i am not seeing.
