Meet my Big boys.

Dont attempt to copy my actions. I feel happy in my abilities and my friend who was with me's abilities. The house in which they live is not mine, but a licensed buddy of mine, although the animals do belong to me. This happens to be a 3 minute walk from the local hospital.


Does my bum look big in this?

Excuse the face

Cool scorp, good job its only 3 mins from the hospital although in all seriousness I dont know how well a hospital here is going to be prepared for a sting from one of those things.

Well i hope never to find out, to be honest it is only a scorpion. When on the hand it doesnt think "oooh its a person lets sting" but "warm surface. Lets wander"

And i have a "letter" ready so if i do get stung it has information about immediate care, numbers of experts, the AV holder (london center of medical toxicollogy) whcih AV is necassary (tyford north african) how much there is (12 vials) and how/when to administer!

And numbers of 3 experts in the field...

exactly. I have no problem with other peoples asctons, that is there affiar but when somone posts a comment " the mamba killed this guy" i find a little distasteful.

I have nothing but respect for you Al, and with snakes there are set boundaires, but the most respected people in the feild have made material holding scorpions. Their primative brains mean that they dont really comprehend that i am a person, more a surface.

As for glass houses, i dont claim to be invinsible, and i have set what i feel to be adiquiate precautions with regards to "what if" and to handling.

I only ever pick them up with padded tweesers because they do not like to be held, and i have protocal in place.
