Just thought I'd share a pic of my new(ish) critter. I've had her for a few months now.

Are you not afraid that she will sting? How do you sex them?
BTW That snake pic still busts me up LOL

They do not sting unless extremely irritated, and even then they will more likely pinch you. Venom is precious.
And as far as male/female. Females are larger bodied, and there is a diffence in the sensory fins underneath them.
 
Very interesting! I had no idea... TRUST me Pinching really sucks... I have large herimies and they can easily break the skin...Not fun. This is a pic of "Lance"...Not my biggest crab, but definitely the most social

Lance "got me"one day and I had a nasty blood blister for 2 weeks on the palm of my hand. Their strengh will blow your mind.

Sorry Kitty, didnt mean to jack your thread!
 
that's a beautiful emp! i've always wanted one, but my mom objects to them for some odd reason....

Thanks fishcatch...They are interesting but nocturnal, so they can get kinda dull

Where did you get your Scorpion Kitty and why that pet??? Just curious...

I got her in trade for doing some computer work for a friend (who works at a pet store). I got the whole setup and everything else with her. I even put up a black light over her tank. oooh, you should see it at night. Unfortunately my camera doesn't like black lights and the colors don't show up right.
Why'd I pick her? I don't know, I just like them. Besides, I have to have at least ONE pet that my BF won't touch. He is a slight arachnophobe.
