Just got this pretty lady in. Pandinus Imperator or Emperor Scorpion! They have been hard to come by lately since the ban on their import and I was lucky enough to get this pretty lady for under $100.
What you see labeled as "emperor scorpion" in pet stores these days are just P. cavimanus or another P. imperator look-alike.
I named her Furiosa *dadum-tssshh!*
Sweetest little lady and super chill. She lets me gently boop her chelicerae no problems and is very content to find a warm spot and sit there. Very happy I picked her up.
*She is my PET. Please do not say mean things like "set it on fire" and threaten to kill her :c
*Will be moved to scraps later

Chelicerae are the mandibles that they use to eat :3 [so right in front of her eyes] She uses them like tiny mini pincers to hold onto food and stuff it in her face.

You need to be extra careful to keep her huh? And aren't emperor scorpions poisonous?
Nah, not really. Her venom would be like a bee sting.
The only thing I need to watch out for in my collection is the Vietnamese Giant Centipede, his venom could send me to the hospital.

Let me reply to this in a non offensive way. Are Vietnamese Giant Centipede deadly?
Aww so cutes. I'd love to see your sona like in a doodle with her sitting on his shoulder or something?
Sooo Kool! Do you have a large collection of insects/arachnids?
I think that is the coolest thing ever!
I always wanted a tarantula.

She's cool looking! :D You're still braver than me to be able to actually handle her.
(Sidenote I will never understand people who do the mean comments about people's pets??? Like... I'm petrified of spiders and scorpions but I know a few people who have them, and they respect my fear enough to not pull them out, like physically out of their enclosure, in front of me. And even I can admit they're cool and neat as long as they're contained. However if they come out my response is never "murder!!!" It's always "OH GOD RUN AWAY" and then I go to somewhere else.)

I've always found scorpions to be a conflicting combination of absolutely terrifying and completely badass XD
But that's so cool that you have a tame one! Congratulations, and props for not being a wuss like me hahaha
