Greetings.
Thanks for the welcome! As for keeping scorpions, yes there is a risk but it`s more or less relative to the species. P. imperator or Emperor scorpion is fairly docile and are low on venom potency. Their sting is most often compared with a hony bee`s. Risk goes up with handling obviously:), but the stress it can cause can also shorten a scorpions life sadly. In any case handling isn`t recommended no matter the species. I personally find scorpions very interesting, hence the attraction. Not much on spiders though lol.
