Reached my hand in to take out its water dish and it sprung out of a hide and grabbed my pinky with a claw and hit me with a sting. Scared the living bajeezus out of me, left a good red mark where he grabbed me too. The sting felt like someone pushed a small thumb tack into my finger and left it there for about a 20 seconds, he got me good. But 10minutes later I couldn't find ...

I was rehousing my adult pair of Hadogenes paucidens, and my male was relaxed enough to let me tail him without problem. My female decided to be a bit more feisty and somehow managed to flip her tail around and tag the side of my index finger. The initial pain was just a "prick" sensation, and me wondering if I'd actually gotten tagged. It later rose to a dull, slightly throbbing, but almost non-existant pain. A few minutes later ...

I would describe the sting as less painful than a bee/wasp sting. more like an annoying paper cut sting but.... after my fingertip had finished stinging, every time i put pressure on my finger it would sting again for about 3-5 mins. go away again until i put pressure on and it would happen again ANNOYING!!!! for about 2 hours this went on for as well!

I went to pick it up by the tail and since their tails are so long it managed to get me on the tip of my finger. I look at it and I saw blood and felt the burn of the venom. I started to panic and Googled to see if it was dangerous but I figured no cause it didn't hurt too much. I haven't tried grabbing it again lol.

I was handling an adult female and trying to scootch her onto a student's hand by nudging he from behind. She gave me a brief tail-flick before moving. I felt a slight prick similar to when my H. paucidens stung me, so I thought perhaps she connected. After about a minute or two I felt a very slight tingling in the tip of the finger she stung. This passed after about five to ten minutes. From the other reports ...

I am here not so much to share my story as I am to connect with some scorpion enthusiasts and hopefully gather very important information. In 2002 I was stung five times on my upper/inner thighs by a bark scorpion. It was a profound experience for me including hallucinations that gave me a first-hand experience of the scorpion... psyche.
