That sounds very normal. Most scorpions are quite reclusive by nature. As for actually handling it, I can't recommend it. You don't want to get stung by that species. It's not going to kill you, but it'll put the hurt on you pretty bad...

Very good. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't careful.
