Description
OK OK I know this is one of my pet scorpions, but how domesticated can an arachnid really get?This is a Heterusmeterus Cyaneus (I might have to many e in that name) I have not sexed it yet, so I do not know if it is male or female...
Heterusmeterus is a subgenus of Scorpionidae, so are Pandinus and quite a few other scorpion species.
Since scorpions are not able to close their eyes, I did not want to shoot to many photos at a time of this little fella. So there are more to come.
I do hope you like this photo.

It is quite harmless, the sting and pediclaps can cause pain.. but that is minimal. This type of scorpion is famed for using its pediclaps/claws to defend itself from humans... It might sting, but that is not common. The sting of this scorpion is a little more potent and painful then that of a common wasp.
