I picked up my first asian forest scorpion yesterday, I've named her Binx 🥰 I've other arachnids but this is my 1st scorpion and i love her! She's still got some growing to do but is a total unit 😂 Great video👏👏👏
I have a Asian forest, and 37 different species of tarantula. I've had a love for arachnids, reptiles and amphibians since I could walk. I was also blessed with parents that would let me keep them. Great informational video. It's not poisonous, lol.
I've got one of these ☺. As well as a brazilian salmon pink birdeater sling. I won't be handling the tarantula due to the hairs, but any advise for handling my scorpion? You seemed so relaxed, like it was no big deal. I'd like to get to that point. Not that I plan to handle it often, but if I do, I'd rather be cautious and confident than scared.
As a lifetime vampire, always thought they would be perfect. Retired now, just waiting on finding the perfect location for the forever home. Studying habitat recreation and care now. Thinking Asian, Arizona and possibly emperor are my best options. Might have to go out and hunt for a few Arizonas, as that is where I am currently.
I have a Heterometrus spinifer Malaysien Black Forest Scorpion and his/her name is Coffee Bean. I noticed he/she is very noisy during the night time as he/she is exploring the enclosure and taping his/her claws on the glass. Interesting…
I have a H.petersi, I think she’s pregnant and I’m excited to see babies! Also, in the wild, these scorpions would sometimes eat small lizards and baby mice, although they shouldn’t be fed them in captivity because they haven’t Ada-ted to digesting them
how did u get it to be so calm? i have a vietnamese forest scorpion and i wanna handle him but he is very skittish, can i like get him used to handling by like using gloves a lot or is it individual?
I got very fortunate with mine, it's been pretty chill since I got it. If you want to start handling it yeah use gloves and maybe get it out with a cup or something not your hands
@@unchartedwild2166 Thanks for answering! when would be the best time to handle him? would he just sting my hand straigth down or? im scared to get stung but i wanna handle him so bad, ive been using gloves lately
@@Nxcturnxlx depends on what kind of forest scorpion. I asian forest scorpions and vietnamese forest scorpions are different. it does all probably just depend on the temparment of the scorpion too
Poison is also an umbrella term. To the general population, venom can be classified as a type of poison. So let's stop this unnecessary nerd rage finger wagging. It's not that serious.
Hey there. I caught and have been taking care of a Northwest Forest Scorpion (uroctonus mordax) for a couple months now. I'm still actively seeking research on this species, but it doesn't seem anyone is studying them, really. Do you have any helpful tips or facts about this species? I've been following the care guides for Asian forest scorpions, and she's been doing quite well so far, but I'm more interested in the way these species differ and whether I could be doing anything more to care for my pet.
I got one from a Petco and she is for sure pregnant right now. I have no idea what I need to do with her or her babies. She is in a smaller tank should I move her to a larger one or leave her alone and just move the babies when they are ready? Any advice is appreciated!
Tbh I got a scorpion not to terrible long ago I got a Asian forest scorp and since I’ve gotten it I’ve been super confused it still is decently small but since I started to feed it I notice that I never actual have watched it eat and it has concerned me a little cause he’s never taken the food from the tongs and at times I Leave a worm or cricket in his cage just in hopes that he eats it is there any reason why he isn’t or should I be worried or what’s up? I read that if they are shedding that they may not eat but some help/advice would be really great :)
I wanna get an Asian forest scorpion, but I don’t wanna buy a bunch of decor or extra stuff it doesn’t need or want, but I wanna make sure I have everything it needs. How should I start?
I have a reptile room with tons of cool exotic reptiles such as tegus, boas, pythons, chameleon, etc. However I just got my first scorpion last night and I absolutely love it. This is an amazing video and very educational. If you’re interested and have an instagram please let me know your username or follow me and my girlfriends reptile page @jdexoticss it’s always nice knowing people that are so educated and share the same passion. Awesome video!! 💯👍
The sad thing about these is that they will probably end up like the Emperor Scorpions in a decade or so, very rare and expensive due to overcollection. It is important that we don't make the same mistakes and try to actively breed them.
