The Scorpion Family
When my son Martin brought home his new pet, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. “How awful,” I hear you say, but doesn’t judge me yet – it was an emperor scorpion! Martin told me that the emperor scorpion is one of the most popular scorpions that are kept as pets. “They look big and frightening,” he said, “but they’re not particularly dangerous to humans as their sting is quite harmless.” Well, it looked pretty dangerous to me!
Sam has escaped from his tank a few times, and I’ll never forget the first time he did. We looked for him all over the house. Finally, I shone a torch behind the sofa and I saw something bright green. I didn’t know it at the time, but when you shine a light on emperor scorpion, they become bright green. I thought it was one of my youngest son’s toys. Imagine my horror when I picked it up!
