"Are they poisonous?"
"No, they're safe to eat."

"Have you had its venom removed?"
<hit head on wall>

"Why isn't it stinging you?"
<continue hitting head on wall>

"Don't they bite?"
Nah but they pinch and sting sometimes.

"Do they still have their stinger?"
Yep, you can't really cut them off or take the venom out.

"Why would you keep these?"
They keep my brother out of my room.

No way! Can they like break the skin!?

bitting -have to see it to believe it

Sounds like it's more of a "nibble."

no cant break skin. Has anyone had a milli bite them? Thats what it feels like. It tried to eat me and my pencil...

Yeah, mine bit me too, it grabbed my finger and pulled it to it'e chelicare things as if I where a cricket. I actually thought it was gonna bite through it since they supposedly spew digestive acid

well it not a real "bite" .

LMAO! ROTFL! That is sooooooooooooo funny! Well if I had scorpions my answers would be similar to yours. My mom would answer them like this:

1. If I let my daughter have any of those things in this house then I would be.
2. I'm afraid of just seeing one in person.
3. I wouldn't sleep at night. I'd be too busy snuffing the life out of them.
4. I wouldn't wait to find out. And you'll never catch me holding one.

That's probably what my mom would say. But she would probably make everything short by just saying "No". Well I'll get one or 300 when I move out. LOL!

I noticed that your 16th birthday is coming up . . . only two more years until you're FREE!!

Or, you could always ask for a scorpion for your sweet-16.

I know I can't wait! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm dying to get one. I asked my mom for one for my Sweet 16 and she's like "Two more years sweetie. Two more years".

I'll get her you mark my words.

you know one could just show up in the mail one day

I bought my first Tarantula at 17 without my parents knowing. Then 2 cockroaches. Then a scorpion. Then 2 more cockroaches. The rest are kind of a blur. Before I turned 18 I had 10 Tarantulas, 6 Scorpions, 2 Millipedes, 3 species of Cockroach, 2 Hermit Crabs, 1 Rat...

Lesson: Don't disobey your parents but if you must, be sneaky.

Oh I'd love that! Then my mom would have no choice but to let me keep it because there's no way in hell that I'm setting a scorpion free in this insane cold weather.

I hope that happens for my birthday, which is tomorrow. Wheeeeeee! ^_^

There'd better be no way in hell you're setting it free in the first place, period. The only exception I can agree to is if it's native to that region. (NY doesn't have any -- out here the only thing I'd release is U. mordax.)

I released 5 A.australis in Chicago.

That's another thing I was thinking too.

And this would be why the USDA doesn't trust us.

I know which is sad.

youd get to keep it ? hmm

Hahaha yeah I guess I would!

what kind of sp?
