Now thats funny. All three of my Emps are full of attitude. I thought that this wasnt typical. Could it possibly be from improper treatment from the places where I got them from?BaronFel181 said:Awesome man. I've got juv Hottentotta too (franzwerneri and trilineatus). They're about an inch long, full of attitude and eat like pigs. Watching the little ones eat is a blast. Good luck.
webracer17g said:Thanks a lot Luc. Now I know that handling is not recomended for a lot of species and im still a little skiddish about even thinking about trying to pick them up. i do know that i do have a semi-severe reaction to bee stings (as in the last time i was stung, my entire right arm swelled up from a sting on the underside of my forearm right along the vessel/nerve channel in my arm. so understandibly, if an emperors sting is similar to that of a bee, im going to be a bit apprehensive. but say i do get the courage to start to "break them in." how do i go about that in a way that will stress them the least and to minimize stings? pinches im not as worried about, yeah i know they will hurt, but they wont seriously injure me. any help is welcome.
thanks,
andrew
it's important that when you put your hand down you do it a goodly distance away from the scorpwebracer17g said:so would recomend having an epipen around just in case or would that do nothing for a scorp sting? with the "wal into the hand" method, would that put yourself in a situation to get stung? or would they simply walk on to your hand without consequence?
