had to clean out the flat rock scorpion as the tub was full of mites so i decided to handle him before i put him back in the rub, he sat there quite happily while i took some pics.
didnt want to go back in the rub though was climbing up my hand every time i put my hand down so had to nudge him off with tweezers, anyway heres some pics





its amazing how light he is can hardly feel him on your hand

will definatly post the pics.
the red claws are not that agressive but they are very defencive mine usually has its claws out an tail up when i lift the bark he burrows under.

i was very nervious but he was nice an calm so was all good.
is there a certain type of black bulb i need lotabob?
i looked on ebay an there were a few different types of black bulb

I have a black light at work, I fully intend on ''borrowing'' it to get some pictures.

Well done you handling it, its pretty scary the first time, I got a very quick handle of my scorp, no pictures, it freaked out and it took a lot to just get it where I wanted it to go.

You gotta put up photos when you do find one : )

Are Red Claws an agressive species then, or did you just get the stroppy one?

not yet a havent i need to find a blacklight buld as have seen pics and it looks very cool.
the red claw is very agressive but it may calm down

You might want to some day ; )


Random question but have you ever seen your Scorps under UV light?

I just had this thought that you could get some little night-light type things that would make the Scorps glow in the dark 0_o

Would look suitably spooky and so gadgy at the same time!

yes im well chuffed with myself, dont know what i was worried about but he is the calmest of the 3 scorpions. dont think i will try and hold the red claw though
