| no, but i've heard about bites. I would guess they do have strong mandibles since they have to eat strong, tough plants. |

| Never been bitten, but I've picked one up and seen it making chomping gestures at me with those big jagged mandibles it had.  _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

| the ants in my house are no joke. Just got my C. marg back the bicolor morph. Fed it. 10 minutes later ants are trying to eat the dead roach that the scorpion is eating so I change it from enclosures go to lunch come back and the ants LITERALLY tore him apart. I'm back to having 1 scorp in my collection. |
