My first real pet was an emporor named Stingy, and she was great but did not like to be handled. My first and only attempt to handle her was met with hissing and I knew that the unnessisary stress is not good for her, as stress is an important factor to consider for a scorps health. That being said I wouldnt allow students to hold the scorp becuse it stresses the scorp and is an unnessasary risk (low damage yes, but will some yuppie parent sue your ass? you better believe it). Also, I'd recommend locks on your enclosures if they are in a public school becuase kids are idiots as you will very soon find out (especially unmotivated idiots forced to be in school). Back to the scorpion, this website is a good resource to use but I really would like you to check out venom list, I swear when it comes to scorps these are the guys you want to know
