Went to feed scorpians today, i have 2 emperors.......empty viv.....door closed just no scorps....

went on the hunt, found one, already dead under the dresser, there viv is on a high shelf, i am assuming it fell off the shelf and was injured but there is no sign of the other one.....I am of the ...ok.....I will see if we can find it, if not we will just have to see if it turns up, They are nice and fat and should be ok for a while , turn of thought.
My hubby however is going Flippin (nicely put) balistic and is tearing the house apart...

so any ideas, it is definately not in the room they were kept in but he wont accept that it could be anywhere and is nearly pulling up floor boards.....help......he seems to think it will kill the kids.........and he wont be told otherwise......

HELP ME PLEASE.

Its probably going to be somewhere dark and small, like under something, for eg if there were any piles of clothes laying near by look in the clothes-not just under them! Places like that.
Good luck. Hope the other one is ok.

Tell him the kids almost certainly under no danger from the emps. Just keep looking everywhere thats dark/small I guess, similar for snakes?

Whata a bugger though

I hope the other ones alive, good luck.

Thankyou.......
I dont think I helped matters when I laughingly told the children they had to check there shoes everytime they put them on.....sigh.....

.I am just hoping the cat doesnt get to it first........for 2 reasons, I dont want the cat stung.....does anyoneknow what kind of effect a scorian sting would have on a cat? or a dog for that matter.....
and secondly, the cat would eat it without a second thought.

Same as us MSL, none particular: bee-sting-like, some swelling, small amount of pain etc, nothing much. Might be ever so slightly worse in a cat. I doubt a cat would eat it though...
