This morning I was doing some enclosure maintenance in my Emperor enclosure. I have recently handled both of my Emps for various reasons.
Today I decided to pick the larger one up because he was half in the water dish. Whilst he was in my hand he decided to sting me.
Twice in the same spot, on my index finger. There was some pain, but it seemed to be a dry sting, as there are very little after effects.
Do scorpions have the ability to withold venom as T's do with bites ?
It's a shame but I will not handle him again which is probably a good thing.
Oops sory mods can you move this to the correct place please ?
