There is no antivenin in the USA for these scorps. The A australis kills more people than any other scorp in the world. Drop for drop it is as toxic as a cobra. However, chances are very slim that a healthy adult would actually die. A sting would send you to the hospital I'm pretty sure and you might wish you were dead since it would certainly be a very unpleasant experience.
These are much much easier to deal with than venomous snakes obviously but a person just needs to be careful.
As you can see in the enclosure pic, I have light colored sand. I keep the black scorps on light colored sand and the yellow scorps on black sand. This makes it easy to see where the scorp is if I ever need to do any maintanance. Fortunately scorps are very low maintaince "pets".

Its true its true, but don't tell anyone. Seeing as I am the unofficial spokesperson you can't tell anyone I failed. I made it more than a year with this front of being responsible and untempted, well the time has come....IVE RELAPSED!!!!!!!!

Another scorp foto
These aren't nearly as toxic as the others. They will fit on a dime right now. One of the few communal scorp species out there.
