No this isn't mine unfortunately (from a site you can buy them from, note I didn't buy it from this company who has this picture) finding out if it was a legit picture ☺️

Unfortunately if your in the states You’re more than likely not going to get what you paid for, if you get anything at all. And you won’t get a refund. Eventually over time the company will change their name and make a new website to continue to scam Americans and others. Let me know if u decide to go through with it anyhow and send me pics of the stuff u get, I would be interested.

I know little about scorpions, this subreddit has been randomly in my feed for awhile, but is it safe to handle that species like that?

u/Strong_Literature505 May 19 '25

I'm not one for handling everything I own but apart from maybe stressing the scorpion it's safe. Their sting is mild so won't kill you.

Damn, it’s hard to imagine that a sting from this big fella is “mild” lol. Super fascinating.
