| This was about 2-3 weeks ago. So I have 5 emps in a communal set up. Lately they've been hanging out under the lamp all day, nice to see them out for a change. Well I noticed they knocked the "door" over to the entrance of their burrow. I reached my hand in and as soon as my hand touched the rock both the adults tagged me simultaneously. Made me jump from surprise. They've never shown aggression before, maybe they over heard me say they were up for sale, idk. Within a few minutes I had forgotten I got tagged until my friend asked what I swore about. lol. First time getting tagged. and technically second... | |

| I was tagged when picking up one of my larger emps to do minor maintenance on their enclosure. i must say that the sting of Emperor's are considerably more painful than Heterometrus spinifer, but doesn't burn as deeply as Heterometrus longimanus. Nonetheless, the site of an emp sting leaves residual numbness for a more extended period of time. Additionally, envenomation by younger individuals from all the three species are more pervasive than those of adults. | |

| I got stung by my 3rd instar trying to detrmine gender. He got me on the thumb. He just wedged it in there and I watched him pull it out very slowly. I could have not even noticed it had I not been looking. I felt the venom for maybe a minute at most. No swelling at all.
But hey, its a boy! | |
