These SCORPIONS are Truly DEADLY!

[@gladesucks7907]

I imagine owning deadly animals and then not finding it in its enclosure is pretty scary

[@Randomyoutubecommenter]

Ive eaten a brazilian yellow scorpion before one time when i was drunk, 2 actually, the first one stung me in my thumb i think, i had a bad night

[@haxan6663]

Most of them can't climb glass, and so they can be kept quite safely. I have owned Androctonus, Centruroides and Leiurus species, without any concerns. In the UK you have to own a Dangerous Animals licence to own these scorpions.

[@TomFooleryTheAustere]

Had one of my male p regalis escape once and he was camped out in my bedroom for two days before he decided to make himself seen to be brought back to his tank. Pretty intense two days haha!

[@haxan6663]

@@TomFooleryTheAustere I lost a P. regalis one evening while I was feeding and watering my, at the time, very large collection. I had sprayed the regalis viv and then couldn't see the spider. Carried on with the others and then it occurred to me that she might have come out of viv and actually be on me. I checked in the bathroom mirror, and there she was in the centre of my back, where I couldn't reach her! I had to wait for about 10 minutes, until she walked up to a point where I could scoop her up and return her to the viv!

You both are amazing. Good luck on the start up business!

What makes Death Stalkers so interesting, is that their Venom has the most Compounds of any Scorpion. They are called "Death-Stalkers", because they have a Compound that will work for Any Animal on the planet.

[@Kloud5280]

I used to watch your videos years ago it’s so refreshing seeing the same vibe and effort you truly do enjoy these animals and one day I hope to get my own enclosures

[@erinbruce21]

i just bought my first spider after years watching this channel! it’s a regal jumping spider, my boyfriend pointed to a baboon 🤣 which i said absolutely not. thanks for making such amazing content! and thanks for helping me feel better about spiders and giving me crazy spider knowledge 💘

[@HalcyonSkies]

Congrats on your jumper! I still will only handle jumpers, anything else is a strict nope lol.

[@TheGamelyst]

Noice, i went went the ts, and also looking for scorpions now. Btw you will soon have more then just 1. haha

No baboon? Come oooon they're nice! They even spread out their little legs to hug you!

Hey petco, because of your videos I got my first T yesterday! I wouldn't have believed it when I started watching you in your apartment.. but here we are 😂 Thanks Petco 😊

[@brandonmyers4078]

Perfect thing to watch as a end to my day 🙌🏻 hope you and the family are good my friend

[@keastonz]

For the halogen bulbs (really any light bulbs, but especially halogen), it’s best to not handle them with your bare hands and to wear gloves any time you touch them. The reason is because the oils in your hands will contaminate and etch into the glass, causing the bulb to heat unevenly which will make it burn out much faster, and this could be part of why you are having trouble with the bulbs lasting only a short time. Disposable latex or nitrile gloves are recommended for this. I learned this working for an auto mechanic shop when we would have to replace the halogen headlights on vehicles. Hope this helps.

[@Jironnimo-et4br]

Petko is a real professional. LOL🤮

[@kevinpoe8137]

17:06, overall, the quinquestriatus is a dark yellow in color, while the haenggii has a dark brown back with yellow edging and a more prominent black mask around the eyes, hope this helps

[@TH_aquatics]

I love how you own things that have the venom to kill you. It really shows the love for animals petko. Keep up the good work!

[@mikhailmaladushny2048]

3:25 You have replaced light bulb with your hands, when you do that, you leave oil residue on the light bulb and it makes your bulbs burn out faster (or potentially shatter). You want to use some sort of protection when changing bulbs out.

[@BALAGOTME]

Really interesting to see the Scorpions featured Petko. Your videos are always very informative.

[@mariestubbs4606]

Great to see the scorpions getting a show Petko ...

[@xanopython9062]

They're underappreciated 😢

[@thewisewillow]

Always love to see you post about scorpions because they are my favorite arachnids!

[@GabrielSilva-qp1nr]

Tityus stigmurus is a deadly scorpion and medicaly significant here in Brazil

[@kirksealls1912]

I own a Hadrurus arizonensis myself, and have owned one other in the past, and have had some luck seeing them feed by feeding them at night using a red light. It is my understanding that tarantulas and scorpions can’t see red light

[@NoTengoDinero69]

I always wanted a Deathstalker for years as it can be found in my home country, and is a very deadly beast. My uncle found this out and ranted at me for a literal hour about how stupid that would be without knowledge of how serious a sting from one is. I admire those that can handle and manage deadly animals, but thank god my uncle talked some sense into a 16 year old me years ago. 😂 Great video! I love your setup and appreciate the look at these brutally beautiful creatures! I hope to have my own some day, admittedly to a less dangerous level.

[@DaveInBridport]

Isn't that a type of hat?

[@usosaito.namahage]

"there should be a scorpion in here" isn't words you wanna hear when keeping a dangerous species lol.

[@616Entertainment]

YES NEW SCORPION CONTENT!

[@yellowishyoutubechannel3900]

Nice so interesting

[@Davivd2]

Haha. Kind of nervous there not being able to find that Death Stalker. Like: "I hope he's not running around my bedroom right now."

[@Letsbedisciples]

Thank you very much, Petko!

[@NewLife4GVN]

You are just so adorable and I love your channel and all of your critters and how you have them all well taken care of.

[@dustinjames6662]

Hey Petko, long-time fan. I am curious about the lights that you use on the underside of your shelves. Are they just LED strips? How bright are they? Thank you for any info.

[@olivergunson]

Whatever happened to the Camel spider? I thought it was housed near the scorpions but it didn't look like there was anything there that could be it's enclosure

[@13bttrx]

Yay, finally the scorpions get some screen time too again :D We need more of them Petko :)

[@JasmineStilletos]

The Giant Desert Hairy Scorpions we have here in Arizona are impressive size wise. 🦂

[@NairaWolfGaming]

I just got my first pet scorpion so this video was extra exciting for me :D Great video as always, Petko!

[@bsimpson2288]

Nice. I used to keep a few scorpions about 20 years ago. I had an Androctonus Bicolor, always wanted a Death Stalker but never got one. Kinda want to get back into keeping them.

[@25pence]

Bro I have videos of my scorpion taking a locust, then charging out for more and taking a second before aggressively chasing my hand out of his enclosure not stoping till the door is closed… holding 1 in his mouth and 1 in his claw then putting both in his mouth and eating two at a time.. I have a awesome scorpion. Afraid he will change now he is currently molting to full adult

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

Love when you show the scorpions they are so cool. Tarantulas will always be my number 1 though im actually ordering 3 slings tomorow im super excited for them

[@imaybestupid2045]

YES ive been waiting for the next scorpion content for a while now :'))

[@animeaunty]

Petko I live in Arizona & in over 30yrs, I have only ever seen our hairys around water. Around pools, homes that have foliage that gets watered, irrigation ditches, ect... In homes I've lived in that were surrounded by pristine desert, I never saw them 🤷

Coucou, j'ai trouvé les tee shirt super sympas... Cool et les scorpion qui est en plus mon groupe de musique préféré pour ne rien gâcher, j'adore ses petites bédètes beaucoup plus que les araignées, je me suis abonnés a votre chaine il y a je sais plus mais c'était surtout pour passer ma phobies des araignées, ça a marché, je ne les tuent plus, je les mets dans un verre et je le jettent par la pfenêtre mais j'ai encore ébormément de frissons , c'est déguelasse sérieux , bisoux de France :)

[@superpinkyswear]

Can you feed the scorpions in the dark with a black light? If your camera can manage it, of course.

[@MarieNorth-bk1fu]

Very nice set up

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information and updates Petcko

[@RogerRotofer]

from your set up id say you could benefit from adding aluminum plate, tape, or even foil on the ceiling of your drawers to prevent your wood ect.. from heating up too much.

[@kennytendo7255]

I don't know why. But I was kind of expecting him not to find the scorpion in the enclosure. I was expecting him to say "That is weird, I wonder where it could be" before turning around to look for the scorpion, with the camera showing that it was on his back the whole time.

[@chaoxknight7228]

Finally, a scorpion video!

[@jandecoleman1]

Secret to knowing if a scorpion is dangerous and it to look at the pincers first, the closer the pincers match the size of their arms then look at the tail, then fatter the tail the more deadly. The reason why I say pincers first is due to the fact that large scorpions with big pincers may have seemingly large tails. Also, if the scorpions is hiding you will see the pincers well before seeing the tail.

[@remcovanvliet3018]

I remember a terrarium dealer in my town who had an Algerian Sahara scorpion give birth, and the babies got out through the ventilation strip. The guy ended up getting stung, ended up in the hospital for 3 months, lost his licence and had to close his shop. He was kind of an irrepressible douche, honestly. Had several venomous snake mishaps before the scorpion incident. I once assisted him in getting a 4 meter king cobra back in its enclosure. Needless to say, that was a little more adventures than I'd bargained for when I went out to get some feeder crickets. Moral of the story: never get complacent around these animals.

[@jdssurf]

hey bro just pop a couple more cork barks in, then you can just lift them up, and the scorpion will like the extra cover. good stuff man

[@flashy5150]

I have had 22 of the worlds most venomous scorpions. They are so touchy to keep alive. When they are hungry, fun to watch, but many like to hide all the time, making them quite boring to keep.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Awesome footage

[@TarantulaHaven]

Tityus stigmurus is deadly. A healthy adult can survive their sting but have deadly effects on children and the elderly.

[@terra4na330]

@5:43 idk why but I thought the dirt in the hole was the legs of a tarantula lol

[@vxrdrummer]

I have kept 50 scorpions and I am very experienced. I cant have any species with hit venom though as I have a young child. When he gets to 16 I'll then get the hot ones, and some old world Tarantulas. Mild venom scorps and new world Ts at the minute.

i personally love the leiurus genus and death stalkers are my fav

[@AnonningAnon]

The smaller the bulb at the end of their tail and the smaller the pincers, the more venomous they are.

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

I used to live in the Florida Keys; one night a red scorpion crawled onto my face, and stung me in my eyebrow. It felt like a bee sting, but several hours later I was vomiting, my joints were aching, I had a migraine, and the skin of my face where I got stung was hanging down like I had a bad stroke. The skin actually hung over my eye! I wound up having to go to the hospital where they have me a couple of shots, and some pills. I started feeling better later in the day, and then the next day I felt okay again... Ironically, I'm a Scorpio.
