What Mr. Deck wants to tell you today is: the basics about scorpions! There are many people in this area who do not understand, so let's talk to everyone on deck.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > toxicity problem</h1>
Probably the biggest debate about scorpions is toxicity, and I'll start with this:
1. Not all large scorpions are weakly toxic, and there is no shortage of large toxicity.
On the contrary, the most toxic scorpion is not necessarily a small scorpion, for example: it is the famous Yae mountain scorpion (South Asian slippery scorpion), the adult body length is generally 3 cm, but the poison sac is basically degraded, the rats are not stung, and the skin cannot be punctured.

2. You can't judge scorpion toxicity by the size of the pincers.
It is not that the smaller the forceps, the higher the toxicity. For example, the claws of the East Asian pincer scorpion are much smaller than those of the Middle Eastern golden scorpion, but the toxicity and detoxification volume are not as good as the Middle Eastern golden scorpion, indicating that the "higher the small toxicity of the pliers" is a fallacy.

3. It is impossible to tell how toxic a scorpion is from the thickness of the tail.
The scorpion relies on the poison sac to detoxify rather than the tail (the end of the abdomen), so looking at the tail to judge the toxicity is simply nonsense, the same, let's take an example: the famous Tunisian yellow fat tail scorpion tail is one of the thickest, and why is it not as toxic as the L.quinquestriatus Israeli golden scorpion? No solution.

Then it seems a bit silly to say that you judge the toxicity by looking at the thickness of the tail.
3. Any scorpion is poisonous, even if it is less poisonous, it has the qualification to be born as a scorpion - there is a tail needle with a poisonous sac.

1. Do not give the scorpion the sun, try to keep the feeding environment moist and quiet, humidity and temperature coordination.
Scorpions are divided into arboreal, stony and ground-dwelling species
2. Scorpions do not necessarily all adapt to one environment.
The scorpion is very fragile after molting
3. Do not let it be frightened during molting, and be aware of other climbing pet feeds in the feeding box (such as Dobia cockroaches, barley worms and white crickets).

Scorpions prey on
1. This is the case for scorpions in any fighting state: first fix or provoke the opponent with pliers, and attack with its tail when it is uncontrollable. Large pincer scorpions such as the heterogeneous scorpion genus, the scorpion genus and the Pluto scorpion genus, rely heavily on pincers and do not use the tail much, because the tail can only paralyze the opponent; the scorpion with small pincers and high toxicity is very dependent on the tail.
2. Predation is an active offense, so they will choose the weak. When hunting, they do not use their tails very often.
3. Self-defense is passive, so it is generally used with pliers and tail, and the tail is used more frequently.

Less toxic rulers fear scorpions
1. In general, scorpions do not have a fatality rate unless your immunity is low. Of course, you still have to go to the hospital to see.

2. If you are allergic to the toxicity of scorpions, centipedes, bird-catching spiders and other small climbing pets, simply don't raise them.

3. Only if a person takes the initiative to provoke a scorpion, it will make a big move. Usually, it is very timid and afraid of things, and does not dare to take the initiative to attack people at all, and at most it makes a "hissing" sound when it is afraid.

4. Pay attention to protective measures when you go to Africa and the Middle East to avoid being stung by scorpions. There are many poisonous scorpions there.
If you go to North America, you don't have to worry about being stung, where scorpions are basically low-toxic.
5. Only 1% of scorpions are highly poisonous.

Although this article is short, I believe you can understand the scorpion! Scorpions are not so dangerous. Look at the scorpions now, do you think they are cute?
