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 |

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! |

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? |

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. |
