Me too. I can't stop shuddering, looking at that picture. I could handle the snake around my neck, but scorpions? never.

One Blue and Gold Macaw named Carlos. One long haired male black cat named George. One very large grey male cat named Iggy. One 8 week old black female kitten named Katrina. Plus one ex in Raford prison serving 7 to life. Not really a pet but he is in a cage.

You're a good man.
What little I know about scorpions is that they're along the line of rattlesnakes in that they don't strike unless they're threatened. (Of course, the problem comes because *they* decided when they're threatened.)

I touched my first boa constrictor in a mall when my eldest was two. We were just walking around and encountered the display set up. A woman had her snake wrapped around her neck. She smiled and said "go ahead, you can touch him." Well, one doesn't desire to look like a chickenshit in front of one's child, so I petted the snake. "Yes, they're not slimey," the woman said for what was probably the 100th time that day alone. The two year old couldn't pet it enough. Thought it was wonderful.

No, you can't have one, I said repeatedly.

Thankfully, she grew up to have large German Shepherds, a gorgeous rabbit and horses.
