Imperial Scorpion - Scorpius Maximus

[Gill]

Imperial Scorpy

Love this Guy, Picked up an Adult for Under a tenner, Already had a tank ready for him/Her. He has already been handled and is not nippy at all.
Pix is not mine, Need to take som of him once he/she is nice and settled.

bad Gill, giving me ideas!

cool addition mate

I'm not sure if I could ever handle a scorpion. Things with stings just freak me out.

I still want one.

Nice scorp.

I got stuck in the Nightmare 4 Hour Tail backs Last Night and this is what Followed as a result. I had to spend 5 hours in Casulty Last Night, After being Stuck int he M6 Horror of 30Mile Tailbaks all the way from Kiddereminster to my road Litterally. Up to the Ricoh Arena.

Got home and in my Sleepy State got bitten by the Imperial Emporer Scorpion. My Hand looks like its been thru a blender the amount of cutting and draining of Blood and Poison(Venom) they had to drain.

Have to wear Surgical Gloves to Protect My Hand from Dirt and Debri. And then I have A Wooly Glov to cover up the Surgical Glove, Wil Need a 1st Aider to help me with the Dressing Later.

Then have to go back and have my Hand Cut open and Drained again.

What a night.

Lets say the Wife is not best pleased with me. So i had to give her all the money i made from sales this weekend. 200Quid out of pocket now but she can go shoe shopping with her freinds later - As long as she is Happy. I need to take a Long Lunch to go to the Hospital to have it Drained and then i have to Go to the Post office to collect orders and Collect Rux's Fish from the Aquarium that is Holding them For Me.


I mUst Iterate that the Scorpion was only Defending Himself and it was my Sleepy Hze that Caused this. Have ben Bitten by Scorpions before and had to have a chunk takn out of my leg when i was lillte after being bitten bya golden Desrt Scorpion, Was in the Fire wood Pile @ my Aunts in the Punjab in India

Ouch. Hope the hand is okay.

...I also don't think I'm getting one now.

I am ok, just because of the way in which my ilnesses have affected my Immune System that Venom was very Rapid and Aggressive.

Didn't help that the Nurses' had no clue what to do and had to wait for a Venom Specialist to arrive and treat me.

I had to look after one of them when my friend went on holiday about 5 years ago, was a cool little thing but I don't think I'd rush out to get one.

 

[The-Wolf]

omg Gill

but thanks for putting me off getting one.

get well soon and I hope there are no further complications

 

[Esfa]

ahh unlucky Gill, sounds horrible

but thanks for putting me off getting one.

Their venom is usually not worse then a bee sting. I think it's because Gill has a medical problem, which made the sting worse? Sorry if I'm wrong, Gill.

Ok, now you can really send me into apoplexy by posting a pic of a giant centipede! Wibble, shudder.

*Closes his eyes and waits for the pics to fade away*

Ade

That's so discouraging :\ I hope your hand gets better Gil

 

[Gill]

thanks guys,
they amputated 1cm from my midde fingertip as they could not save it.
not bothered as its all colored raw ans will leave a cool looking indetation on my finger. just glad it did not get to the bone. i have saved my fingernal and most of the upper pad under the nail. just a big flesh chunk gone.

morphine is wearing off, ans its hurts like a b**** as the silver creams they used have made my finger as hard as rock and burning.

will have to wear a finger gaurd and dress it 3 times aday with sterilized swabs and wash it in that special gel all day. and then leave it to air for an hour with nothing on it to help it heal.
thats the worst bit when the finger wants to bend and it can't as its locked in place by the finger gaurd.

Scorpius is sulking, but the wife is happy that there is something that will attack me back when i upset it as much as a upset the wife with my spending and ebay buying and selling.

Gone whole hog with the Aqautic Sales now.

 

[guppy_man]

So a good buy then?


got any pics of the scorp or of your finger?

Not any more, I released her into the Palm trees with the spiders and the Crickets, She will live in the leaf litter at the base of the tree where its moist and damp and dark.
Never ending supply of crickets thanks to the LFS.

She is not sulking anymore and will come out od look at me and wave her pincers at me. which is a good sign that she knows me now. I am going to take it slowly and rehabilitate her and make her freindly enough to hold and let crawl around on my pc desk when i am working away on tenders and contracts from home. In her Special Lox Critter Keeper of course. Her Stinger has been covered with a Guard to prevent another accident.
My skin is healing rapidly with the silver treatments. so should not cause any Probs.

 

[TylerFerretLord]

You can get stinger guard for scorpions? Any links?

Anyway, I hope the hand keeps up the recovery.
