However, when provoked or threatened, its most dangerous weapon would be its pincers. This isn't for all scorpions but the Emperor pincers have tremendous strength and can easily cut flesh and even snap a No.2 Pencil in half (yea I tried it). It's tail on the other hand only contains a somewhat weak stun venom. Similar to what a bee sting feels like, although if you're allergic to bees, you'll most likely be allergic to the emperor's sting causing one to go into anaphylatic shock but that's only if you're allergic. The emperor will usually use it's pincers to defend or offend, but if severely threatened, it will sting as a "scape" tactic. * Been raising Emperors for bout 10years now...jut in case you were curious.

You might want to ask a professional. Sorry we couldn't help! Hi Ryan,

We know a lot about scorpions, but, unfortunately, we don’t know anything about captivity mating. You might want to ask a professional. Sorry we couldn’t help!
