Picking up Emperor Scorpions

wow, good luck!! i worked for a petsmart and a petworld and never once had to mess with those guys. i give you loads of credit. i was scared to pick up the hamsters lol (those buggers bite!) be brave, the thought of you doing it is much more than me! :gj:

I've been at PetSmart almost 2 years, just for something to do while I finish school and the little one is at school. We don't have fancy sliding lids on our reptile habitat, just had to install hinge locks on the screen lids. I don't think there would be much of a market for the arachnids here in central Louisiana, anyway.

Ashley, I am 100% in agreement with you: hamsters BITE! They are usually nervous anyway, and to have a big hand coming after you, heck, I'd probably bite, too. I always scoop them up with the igloo anyway.

oh yeah! I HATE hamsters!! Especially when they get wet tail when I'm trying to open or close! I hate giving them that trim crap. They feel like crap and then they have to get picked up and get a syringe full of nasty tasting crap (I'm guessing) shoved in there mouth. Not my idea of fun. I agree with the igloo thing. Just scoop 'em up and put it in the box. Yeah, I don't know how the arachnids will be accepted here, this place is a yuppy liberal hot spot. So who knows.
