Definitely a good choice of scorpion to rear in captivity. They do very well in a variety of setups, so you have freedom in how you will house your own.
since you are in desert area. Have You seen vinegaroon ?? In Palm springs i had giant GiaNt one onder my patio slab. Could hear it clicking on cement. What are those Really. Spider scorpion hybrid?? Unreal how afraid of it i was. Your awesome videos freak me out.. but appreciate learning about these things..😳 yikes.
Well there are two animals described as vinegaroons, true giant desert vinegaroons which look a lot like true scorpions and are completely black. And then there are solifuges which looks like spiders with huge chlicerae and scorpion legs and no tail. So if you describe to me what you saw with a little more detail I can tell you what it was. Most likely a solfugid though as they are attracted to outdoor lights.
@@GeneralApathy I didn’t even notice, when I was watching I didn’t see that much graffiti but when I went the place was covered in spray paint but then again you were mostly filming animals not buildings.
Are those scorpions deadly? I got stung in my hip by a Arizona bark scorpion while I was sleeping on the carpet in my room and accidentally rolled over on it one night. It felt like a sharp burning sensation and swelled up like a mosquito bite but luckily I didn't have an allergic reaction to the venom. The Arizona bark scorpion is supposedly the deadliest scorpion in the U.S so if it didn't kill me do you think that dune scorpion would?
A sting from a dune scorpion is nothing compared to that of an Arizona bark scorpion's. If you are confident in your identification and it really was an Arizona bark scorpion, you likely have a higher pain tolerance than most or received a minor injection of venom. Arizona bark scorpions' sting are typically not deadly, especially to healthy adults. However the Arizona bark scorpion is the most, or second most, venomous scorpion species in the US depending on which way you look at it. Within US borders, it has the lowest LD50 value per milligram of venom of any scorpion, meaning that it is the most venomous domestic scorpion. The reasoning for it being the second most venomous in the US is that the Florida bark scorpion (Centruroides gracilis) has an even lower LD50 value, just not in the US. C. gracilis is a diverse species with a large distribution and variable venom toxicity and size. The specimens of Florida bark scorpions in the US are less toxic than Arizona bark scorpions, but their Central American counterparts are more toxic than any US scorpion. Antivenom for C. sculpturatus is produced in Mexico; it was approved by the FDA in 2011 and is now exported to the US.
It is only dangerous (as in 'potentially deadly') if you are allergic to the venom. I am not. I actually got stung by the specimen in the thumbnail while shooting this video; it was not my first time getting stung by this species.
the low price you see for S. mesaensis is generally because they're young CB/CB stock. i can get away with $20 ea online for big specimens like the one pictured
4:18 its one of the worst things when I flip a board that large and I don't even get a participation skink
True.
You deserve so many more subscribers! Your edits and recording is amazing! I will try to share you with all my friends😃

You sir are one brave soul! Just purchased a small dune scorpion 🦂 wanted to see how there natural habit looked like to get some creative ideas

In my locality. You find them exclusively around sagebrush and even up in the branches.
It's quite interesting how the sand is full of shattered seashells.
Really nice video!
It's because he's hunting on a dry lake bed. The substrate consisting of crushed shells is an indication of such.
I love your channel! I've been watching every video the past few days. Thanks for the great uploads!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching. :D
This man is the Mentat entomologist of our universe.
Me looking for food in the post apocalypse.
Scolopender realy creeping my out. I was bitten in Vietnam by a hughe one. It was the worst pain i ever felt and it took three days.
Eres un genio 😍
Nice video! I love Scorpions, but unfortunatly we don’t have any scorpions in Sweden :( but i have 4 dune scorpions at home :)
Thank you. Scorpions are relatively common in Southern Europe if you ever get the chance to explore there.
@@GeneralApathy Yeah i am planning to go to different places in Southern Europe to just hunt Tarantulas and scorpions :) But then covid came xD
That was a pretty decent sized scorpion. How big was it, like 3.5?
Yes, 3.5" from aculeus to chelicerae or 4.5" if you include the pedipalps.
Nice.

where are you from and searching animals ?
I live and search for animals in California.
is not dangerous handle ?

These scorps are going for $40.00 at our area pet shop.
That is not good.
at our local exotics shop they are 9 dollars
@@froiled4152 that is fair.
