I want to Own a Scorpion and by this video I’ve concluded that an Asian Forest Scorpion is what I want .. Nice video ❗️
This is the 1st scorpion I had,awesome creatures! I have to admit that the only thing I knew about their moods was full on aggressive. The first time I held mine was after about 2 months after I got them,I was misting them and one was going crazy so I put him in a temporary tub so I could clean and mist the enclosure properly. I remember having the lid off and looking at him while he wasn't moving then he bolted out of the tub on to me,I was terrified at 1st but soon got used to him. Wish I had seen this video before so I knew a bit more about how they react to us. Loads of good information in this! Not as angry as they are made out to be.
Thank you! I definitely agree that although the can be quick they are not as threatening as most people believe
Very easy to tame!!! Takes 2 hours tops. It can sense your fear but absolutely love warm hands...be mindfull and calm when you handle them because you're fear will scare them. I used to pet my scorpion constantly even after only 2 hours of getting it and it would literally move its stinger out of the way to get pet so as not to accidentally sting me. Very fun creatures!!! once they know that you're not going to eat them and that you have warm hands, it's all good!!!
One of the biggest things I learned here, was that they don't react to seeing you move or hearing your voice, which was one of my fears, seems it mostly reacts to being touched, or the thing its touching being vibrated
Yes, that's exactly true. The have very poor vision and as long as you don't make sudden movements, they won't either
As long as you don’t talk on them or directly towards them - they don’t like to be breathed on
Just try not to breathe on it
Tysm. The cricket fiasco was actually very funny
Thanks bro i just held mine for the first time thanks to you
Yes dude! Im glad you made this! You’re first video helped me soooo much and this review is pure facts! Great video, Heterometrus is such a chill and badass species. It’s all about getting over that initial fear and gettin to know the creature. Im really glad you made this, good continuity and great for the community.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Cool! I’m sure this video will help anyone who’s nervous about handling their scorpion
I hope so!
Thank you 😀, I was looking into getting an Asian forest scorpion and you have been sooo helpful. You should get a you tube page going and I'll will follow you. Thanks 😀
Thanks! I will now try to handle my deathstalker!
Incredibly helpful information!! Thankyou!
Great video! Informative and no noisy intro, I can digg that! 👍
I’m getting one today and this really helped! Thank you
Same thing applies to my Arizona Bark Scorpions, as long as you don't try to squish them they'll leave you alone. Now I do have some that have major attitude problems and will try stinging anything that crosses his path.
You are one brave soul. I've killed a few Arizona Bark Scorpions in my house and they were pretty much on the bathroom walls and ceilings above the shower! lol
@@atranfanatic Not sure about brave but thanks! I've been studying them for years and know how to avoid getting stung.
@@CentruroidesSculpturatus Hey I know I couldn't hold that potent scorpion. lol But I am thinking about getting an Asian Forest scorpion sometime.
I had a Tanzanian Cave Claw Scorpion (Pandinus Viatoris) who passed away 5 weeks ago at 7 years old who loved my shoulder and sitting on the couch for a couple hours for movies or video games, when I got her the more I handled and hung out with her she got used to my scent and ended up learning who I was but she was very expressive with her claws so handling her was a guarantee of being pinched never stung me or gave me the notion of stinging me so
all of this is just your imagination lmao no science or fact based, 🤡🫵🏽👍🏽
Excellent video/tips, I don’t have a scorpion only tarantulas but he is stunning, your voice and calming instructions is perfect, would love to see you do a tarantula handling video like this one.
Thank you! A tarantula handling video would be a good idea. I have a beautiful stripe knee tarantula that I could use for the video too
@@bioactivebuilds2296 that would be amazing 👍
Just got my first scorpion ever. It’s a dictator. I think I might try and hold it after this and a few more videos.
Go for it! Be gentle and try my method if helps. Good luck!
Very intuitive. Love it!
Miss the streams, my UA-cam channel is going good and I’m proud, I hope to look over you one day watching you grow and to see you eventually look over me as you grow more and more.
Right on, I just subscribed! Always good to have some friendly competition. I did a stream 2 days ago and only had 1 viewer but it wasn't you :( im doing another one this week so keep an eye out
Your so underated! I dont know why you dont have a lot of subscribers! ❤️
Thank you, that means a lot! I'm definitely trying to up my subscribers but I'm grateful for every one that I have :)
Agreed 👍
Nice video bub.
I love them am so excited because am getting one this helped me a lot thanks bro
Awesome video!
Thank you!
Thanks this was helpful ❤
Helpful, thank you
Thats a great scorpion. I like him.
Thanks! I'll make sure to let him know :)
Interested in getting my 1st scorpion nice video 👍
Thanks! They are awesome pets, you definitely should get one :)
Half your luck. I've got a baby H. cyaneus and it never stops moving. Yesterday it ended up in the middle of my back right between my shoulder blades. It was there for about ten minutes. And I didn't have a shirt on. Hopefully it's more laid back when it's grown up.
Hahaha that sounds like quite the predicament! They should calm down as they get older but mine is still pretty quick when it wants to be
Very fascinating species.....I just picked one up and am absolutely obsessed with it.....
Awesome 👍
Really amazing
Thank you!
The thing is, i'm not afraid of letting scorpion run on my arms or grabbing them but what i'm afraid is if he starts falling lol
Dude the first thing you should have mentioned was how fast they are lol. I just got mine and would have been surprised how fast he moved if he moved like that
I actually picked both mine by the tail the very first day I got them to put them in their tanks, but haven't tried to place them on my hand yet, I was planning but I'm currently worried as they haven't eaten since I've gotten them last week and I think they might try to pinch me for being hungry, I only managed to get little meal worms that they don't seem to like, thought they might be stressed at first since it's a new home so I left them for a couple of days and didn't even go into the room, but put some worms now and they still wouldn't eat them.
Originally I was planning on catching random bugs from our garden to feed them, but I've learned that that is a bad idea due to possible diseases and pesticide from wild bugs, and I can't find any place that sells crickets, dubia roaches, or big worms. My last hope seems to be ordering online, which I also don't know if it would go through customs, I hope it does, I don't want to end up being forced to feed them wild bugs.
I actually thought they were emperors but today I watched a couple of videos and realized they're asian forest scorpions, which I prefer now since they are black and according to what I watched the emperors are reddish with a red stinger (white for young ones like mine).
This is amazing
Haha is that a cheeky jump cut at 0:48, because you talked too long about the hide? I feel you on that if it was, I've done that so many times lol
Hahha you caught me! It was the only cut I needed to make because I was just blabbering on and on lol
@@bioactivebuilds2296 ahaha knew it ;) I've done that many many times xD
Thank you
Can you please do a video of how to train your scorpion to not sting
🦂
You can't really train a scorpion not too.....but they probably wont as long as they are calm
Very good tutorial very friendly animal
Mine tried climbing up my arm
I use thick gloves to avoid any stings, although it makes it more difficult to get my hand at surface level for my emperor.
Thats a good idea. Has he ever stung at the glove?
@@bioactivebuilds2296 He hasn’t, but he does get defensive when he sees the glove. He’s only a 3-inch long baby, so he’s a little trigger happy with his tail. Once he’s on my glove though, he mellows out. I imagine he will be less aggressive when he’s bigger like your Asian Forest. Great video!
Your scorp is so nice 🥰 my AFS is so angry all the times 🙈 I don’t try to handle it.
Yeah I got pretty lucky with my scorps temperament :) they do tend the calm down as they mature but some stay angry bois for life lol
@@bioactivebuilds2296 oh there’s still hope for mine. It’s still a juvenile 😂 I got also a juvie emperor scorp and 10 E. italicus which are very small and docile.
Oh yes then there is still hope!! I want to get an emperor scorp soon too
@@bioactivebuilds2296 emperors are so beautiful! I had to buy it at an expo, couldn’t just walk by 😊😂
my asian forest scorpion used to be rally active at night but hasnt left her spot in the log in a week and help would be apreciated
My first suggestion would be to make sure that the temperature and humidity levels are correct. Also might help to have a light if you don't already to give it a day night cycle. However if all of these things are done then it could be that she is preparing for a molt which would make sense since they tend to decrease activity during that time. Keep an eye on her and make sure there is always fresh water available, but I wouldn't be too concerned unless she stops drinking or eating for a long period of time. Good luck and let me know how it goes!!
@@bioactivebuilds2296 she has all of those things she eats and drinks as far as i can tell she just kinda stays tucked away where i cant really get to her and has been there a litte while so just trying to cover all of my bases but thanks for the information its my first scorpion so im new to it
Well it seems like you are giving her all she needs for a nice home and happy scorp :) Glad to help!
I put my hand out like that and my Scorpion gave me a love sting and pinch. 1:53 I finally stopped hurting after 3 weeks lol it was my fault. Is there a body language when their going to sting you? I heard when they put their claws up and their tail up their going to sting you. It's hard getting them off. Mind almost went up my shirt. I can't pick my Scorpion up with my family around they make me so nervous and my Scorpion too. They are so cute 10:29
Tail up and pinchers in front is a defensive position. Its pretty easy to tell, being predictable and slow also helps. But they are cute even when they get pissed.
I am terrified that it will sting me. can you help me?
I just got mine to replace my Rose Tarantula I had for 10 years
❤🦂
instead of using the metal stick would you nudge it with your hand?
This scorpion have the same temperament that the Imperator? Thanks
I stepped on a scorpion it was very painful for 3 days obviously not leathel but I do not want to be stung ever again
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Legit videos dude keep it up🙌
Where i can find this type of scorpions??
a saw a video of a scorpion crushing a lizard's head with only one claw and begin to devour the thing
Are you still active on your channel?
I pick mine up like a puppy lmao
Handling a scorpion is not good. It stresses them out.
Just thought I'd put this as you said that it's good to handle them more often.
The reason it didn't attack the cricket is because it is stressed out from being handled.
No, it was not hungry. I have fed it before in that situation. I don't suggest handing often but since people do handle them, I wanted to give some tips on how to do it safely.
@@ethanelliott4384 Also on your instagram, you have tons of pictures of close up scorpion shots with the flash on, Scorpions like to be in the dark, they actively avoid light. YOU are stressing out your Scorpions my friend.
@@ethanelliott4384 Bio Builds offers his scorpions live food, you legit fed your scorpion a dead cricket lol, Scorpions like their food alive brother. His Scorpion is happy from eating live crickets, he isn't hungry. Scorpions can go a year with out food.. The fact your scorpion always accepts dead crickets, is a bad thing. It's desperate. :(
Thank you! And really good information that more people should see
What kind of scorpion is it ?
Asian Forest scorpion
Do you ever get to see him eat?
#Santatank
Can I hold my Lychas tricarinatus
Hah, 😅 I just found 4 of these little babies in my garden in south Thailand, koh lanta, krabi. I'd give them to you if I could. Have a short video on my channel if you're interested 😊
Hahaha thats awesome! I wish I lived in a place where I could find them in the wild. You could try keeping the in an enclosure, it doesn't take much to set up. But it sounds like all you need to do to observe them is simply step outside haha. I wish I could take them off your hands for you 😆 I'll check out your video. Thanks for commenting!
@@bioactivebuilds2296 aaah, I let them go. Seems like if you know where to look for them, they're everywhere 😊
I just saw the video of the 4 you found. They are so cute! 😍 makes me want to get some babies to raise
@@bioactivebuilds2296 aaah, yea, they were kinda cute😊 But I had to let them go. Have a garden that nobody has taken care of for months so I bet I can find more every day. So many of them. Thanks for watching these little babies 😊
Question: What is the purpose of handling a scorpion ???
No purpose, I just wanted to show how I do it :)
1. To show some scorpion species arent aggresive and essily stinging as people think
2. Overcome your fear
3. Take a good pic (for me atleast )
You need your humidity in there higher. It looks very dry.
Don't worry I keep it very humid
As I have advised you on your video, too much humidity can cause mycosis!! You need to be really careful, or your scorpion won't be around for long! Look up a care sheet, I'm begging you.
@@bioactivebuilds2296 Ah OK, it might just be the substrate colour as some look completely different to others.
@@sononoldschool2635 I've made my own care sheet as those on google are terrible. The humidity is at around 80%, however it looks more "wet" than it is as it is a dark substrate and has some shiny stuff in it. I'm not sure what it's called but it's safe.
@@ethanelliott4384 Humidity is moisture in the air, 80% humidity doesn't mean 80% water saturation of the substrate. Wet substrate causes mycosis. Don't make any more care sheets.
I don't think I am really going to handle my spiders or scorpions. I could probably hold your scorpion and be fine, but the big spiders are a different story and some individuals can be a little cantankerous.
Yeah spiders and tarantulas can be more difficult because they can be really fast and unpredictable. But with AFS they are much more manageable and slow moving. Also spiders can bite down at any time while with scorps its easy to stay away from the "ouchie" end hahha
