i just wanted to know if when you get stung by a scorpion if you get more allergic to it?

In my opinion, this is not a death stalker. I've been keeping these for several years (bred them, too) and I never seen the black tips on the legs. Although the body structure does resemble a Leirus.

this is obviously & defintely a deathstalker. it has black tips b/c its very old. it actually died a few weeks after the pic was taken. older scorps tend to develope slight color and desity changes. you should know that if you have kept so many. i have many others as well.

If that is a Deathstalker, it is definately the biggest I have seen. The longest one that I saw in Iraq was about 2 inches at most.

oh yeah, that's definitely a L. quin. It looks like the "other" color morph than mine, and I know more than one morph exists. Mine is even bigger than that one. I tell you what though, you wouldn't be able to even get close enough to her to get her on your hand- which is something I personally would NEVER do. I'm sorry for your loss though.

it was not dead. it was very much alive. i've been handling scorps for years and know how to do it without getting stung (usually) :)

i have another picture of the same scorpion posted here (my death stalker #2). you can see he's alive b/c his tail is and stinger are curled back (dead scorpions' tails go completely limp and fall totally straight - due to loss of muscle control which normally keeps it retracted when it's alive).
