Oh Boy... Scorpions anyone?


Well todays Blog is a little nasty... as my House Fairy was out washing the laundry she was stung on the arm by a wasp. When she showed us, Jeremy went straight for the medicine bag to give Juanita a antihistamine. When he pulled the meds bag out he found the "MOTHER LOAD", literally, of Scorpions!!! A momma and about 50 babies just hanging out..... blech!!!

We took a few pictures and then proceeded to flush them down the toilet where hopefully they will rest in peace...
Sadly yesterday we found two big ones in the kitchen that while Jer was trying to kill them, stung my baby Taj and made him sick all day yesterday and the other one managed to sting Jeremy in the finger.
He did say earlier that he wondered what a sting would feel like.... so I guess now he knows!
I have now googled what the heck I am supposed to spray, sprinkle, wash or whatever with to keep them away!

Ok... so who wants to visit? hahah! they are not really that bad, but this picture is enough to give you the Hibi Jibi's!

  1. Sweet... dam why'd you flush em lol.
    Looks like a female Central American Bark Scorpion (Centruroides margaritatus) not to bad for venom, but Im sure Jermery's hand or whatever didnt feel to good haha
    Next time keep em for a pet in a samll aquarium and feed em small bugs... they will eat each other a bit too, also their dinural (sp) so they arent active at night really. Very cool scorps as they get to be a decent size... jealous!
    Now find some snakes and post some pics please :D lol

    Cheers

  2. Hey Chanelle ... it's Melissa. I'm linking your blog to mine because this pic is too disgusting for words. Excited to get down there, (but not excited for these encounters!) See you soon.
