TTQ B4U Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Spent some time out in Scottsdale Arizona Golfing and hiking this past week. Got back late last night and unpacked my luggage only to find a friend tagged along. Good thing I didn't decide to wear any of the cloths I bought that week! He was barely alive, but moved nonetheless. http://www.pbase.com/image/95152953.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Damn. The scary part is unless you were camping he must have been on your clothes to get in your bag right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 My guess is he came in from the balcony of the room. I was on the 10th floor though so he must have been on a mission. I did do some hiking but I emptied my pack so I can't imagine he made it in there. Clothing wise, I don't think he was on me as I showered after I returned. Could have made in on my golf bag I suppose? Gives me the Willies for sure I looked it up and it appears to be a Stripe tailed scorpion or possibly a Devil scorpion. Damn. The scary part is unless you were camping he must have been on your clothes to get in your bag right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 When you live out there it becomes a way of life to always whack your shoes against the bed and double check for critters. "way" generally speaking the smaller the worse... with those little peckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Yep always check sores before putting them on, I even do it here. My dad was stung 2 years ago and it fucked up his nervous system for a long time and damaged his heart. The little ones are dangerous.

Drewhop Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 From my understanding im not positive but darker color means ouch bee sting. Lighter color basically means wtf my leg is numb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_bark_scorpion Second or third paragraph "The bark scorpion is unusual in that it is the only species in the southwest that regularly climbs walls, trees, and other objects with a sufficiently rough surface." Only reported 2 deaths since 1968 but it is one of more deadly species of scropions in united states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 That's crazy. I've had a quite a few as pets of varying species. However, color is NOT the feature to go by when determining venom strength. Do you still have it and is it still alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I use to live in the mojave high destert in california, as a kid I would always came across scorpions, luckly was never stung, I would always make them fight the huge destert fire ants. Lucky you did not get stung or even put your shirt on, and go in public and have it hanging on the back of you, while your out at dinner or somthing.

TTQ B4U Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I would have been screaming like a little girl and likely fallen in the street and gotten run over. Upside would be that I'd likely have been on You-Tube Lucky you did not get stung or even put your shirt on, and go in public and have it hanging on the back of you, while your out at dinner or somthing.

rambo76098 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I would have found one in columbus if I hadn't seen it when I was packing after being in Costa Rica/Nicaragua for 2 weeks. It was not a whole lot bigger than that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
