I'd just like to ask why are deathstalkers DWA? Is it because they have a different type of toxin which is potentially dangerous? I don't know...

Anyway, I have a Desert Hairy Scorpion and it's pretty good to watch, always digging and on the look about its enclosure. Got no pictures as of yet but maybe very soon. Its not very aggressive in my opinion so a good choice for a beginner... Such as myself

Yeh, deathstalkers are pretty potent, lol
Most potent venom of any scorpion. Not a huge venom capacity though, but still, very powerful..hundreds of times more so than a Hadrurus sp.

looks so big it would fallback if it tried to run, lol too top/back heavy.
Stunning things, i find the 'alcove' where the telson retracts to AMAZING, it just emphasises the sheer scale of the tail, lol
its so intricately designedwith perfect joints that seal when the tail is down
. Would love to see you have some, would love to see some pics! Only a trip to Afghanistan! if your lucky, you could pick up a rock and find bin laden, that way you get a scorp ANd a big reward, just tell the british embasy, avoid US, theyl prob send a bomb your way by accident trying to answer the phone lol...

Hey peeps, just letting you all know I got myself an Emperor scorpion today now all I need to do is give him a name. I want to say sting as in the wrestler but that’s not very original now is it? Any how this is him. Feel free to give advice on a name for him.
