creepy crawly. Not for the arachnidphobic

[kittyhazelton]

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

thats pretty creepy, but cool none the less

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.

cool!

id rather be pinched than stung... it cant be much worse than a bite from my cockatiel when she gets mad or scared.

[TheMightyQueenPixie]

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....

[bettagurl]

[TheMightyQueenPixie]

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.

Dunno....I cannot imagine having a parent that is against them....my parents got me a tarantula for my 10th birthday. What is your dad's main argument against one?

[KingOfTheDeep]

my only advice would be to prove to them you are responsible..i wouldn't want a loose scorpion in my house

[fishcatch22]

if i was into convincing my dad to let me get a scorpian, do u have any advice?:joe:having done some through convincing with my mother, I would suggest finding out his main opposition to it. once you give us that we can advise you from there.

[kuhliloach]

he sais that they might get lost in the house, the cats will get it and we all ready have enough pets, plus my mom thinks they are scary. . .:mad:
any thing i can use to get passed these?
