message: My friend got an Emperor Scorpion today, and the lady at the store told us if we shined a black light on it, he would glow green. We tried it, and sure enough it worked! He glowed an "atomic" fluorescent green, as if he were infected by the gamma ray (See:The Incredible Hulk) which was awesome! Maybe someone could write a note here about that? --SynthesizedShredder (talk) 05:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fun Facts 

message: 1. Scorpions CAN be Cannibalistic, when the mothers are stressed, they can and will eat their young. for captives, stressers could be, too much human contact, too many scorpions in one area (if you have a communal set up) not humid or warm enough.... and the list goes on.
2. Yes scorpions do floures under UV light, however, the longer/more often they are exposed to UV light, the less they floures. 
3. Males are typically smaller than females, and during their "mating dance" as you call it, the male deposits his spermaphores on something hard like a rock or a piece of bark. he then drags the female over his spermaphore and she will pick it up.
4. MOST scorpions are easily sexed by the shape of their pectines.
maybe a little research online, talking to breeders, or maybe looking at youtube videos of scorpions eating their young might get you better information.....  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.54.87 (talk) 08:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  a bit of info. 

message: It would be nice if someone could provide info on how dangerous this type of scorpion is to humans. Is the venom from this scorpion often fatal, seldom fatal, just causes pain in the area stung, etc. For example, a buddy of mine in Missouri was stung on the big toe by a scorpion in his back yard... a 30 acre back yard out in the country south of Saint Louis mind you. Even being a life long Missourian he didn't know that a species of scorpion is native to the state. In a bit of a panic he called the poison hotline and was both puzzled and relieved when they answered his question of "I just got stung by a scorpion, what should I do" with "put ice on it" and hope it doesn't hurt too bad. He also told them what it looked like. They then told him the local scorpion species was seldom fatal and that his big toe would swell up and hurt like a son of a bitch for a week, which proved true. They also told him like with any insect bite that if he had trouble breathing etc to go to the hospital for anaphylactic shock, but that's all. That is, it is good to know if a particular species of scorpion, like say the emperor scorpion for example, is likely to kill you or not (assuming you are not elderly, very young, or with other mitigating health factors).Theshowmecanuck (talk) 04:45, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it a Danger To Humans?? 

message: I'm not a wikipedia editor, so I'll just put this here in the talk section. If anyone ever expands this article to include a "References in Popular Culture" section like exists on many other pages, it should be noted that the Emperor scorpion was used as a model for the giant, nuclear-radiated scorpions in the Fallout game universe.
