First sting

[IMHOTEP]

So I have had this emperor scorpion Imhotep, almost 3 years, incident free. Sun it stung my dad's middle finger twice, it is still very swollen stiff and itchy. I have a picture, tho is not the best. No reaction other than to sting site.
Anyone with experience please share
This picture is from today

Nice! Emperors have weak venom, thats a doozy! Did he say it burned alot? Looks like it unloaded

Yes, burned like heck he said.
I think this last molt has left my lil guy feeling much more confident
Glad to see it looks pretty normal, then.
Thank you for your reply

In truth, that looks like an extreme reaction to weak venom..I would be careful around the more potent species, if I were your dad. He could react very badly to say..a bark scorpion, or even another emperor sting. You can never tell. The reason I say this is that i've been stung a few times by scorpions with much higher potency, and it never turned red or swelled up. He may be sensitive to them.
