I know what you mean! Every time I put him under a black light to show people no one realizes that he is real. I've seen them glow a hundred times and it still blows me mind every time I see it!!

Re: Neon Emperor
There was a guy at a reptile show a couple months ago that had a booth with those scorpions. When I walked by I noticed their color and said to my wife "those poor things, why would they paint them?!?". Then the guy picked one up and it turned black. I seriously thought they were like chameleons. Then he explained that there is a black light in the enclosure (which you can't see and we're in doors fully lit).
It's crazy in a good way.

Re: Neon Emperor
Yea, they have a substance, not sure if it was ever identified or not that causes them to glow.
One good thing about this, when I had gotten babies, they were so light that I didn't realize at the time they could climb the side of a tub, and I was feeding, went to sort some food, come back and 4/5 were gone. I got my UV flashlight, killed the lights and went searching.
The thing that would of sucked, I really about gave up looking for them, because I had searched everywhere. As I'm ready to give up, I'm looking at the little skirting that hangs off the bed, to hid underneath, and I'm thinking to myself... You know that piece is touching the ground, so let me move my mattress, and sure enough, 4 Centruroides Margaritatus sitting right there.
