YES! Scorpions are awesome! I feel your pain with trying to film them, it is near impossible. You got some amazing footage though 👏

[kirksealls]

Yep Petko, those other black dots along the side of the Hadrurus arizonensis’s carapace are also eyes; in fact, all scorpions have eyes there. Also, the mouth pieces are called “chelicerae, ” just like they are on spiders, and the claws are modified pedipalps

Love how real this guy is. Super chill and nothing too fancy or edited. Just straight to the point, nice commentary, and Really funny lol. Keep up the awesome work man!

Great video as always! I've found it easier to feed my scorpions using just red lighting. Since it doesn't disturb them as much, the feed response time is much faster and you can film them pretty well. Just a suggestion! Also awesome footage of the h. arizonensis good to finally see her out and feeding 😁!

[Boise]

Is it just me or did anyone else wanted to see an upclose of that molt, and also the search for any of the deathstalker scorpions? Great video!

[kelliegross]

I have an idea, doing an animal feature at the end of every video. I'd like to see more of the other animals more often like how you show Despacito & Felix but you have so much more! Especially the ones that are rarely outside 😉😁

[gbhil-yo]

The mouthparts are the chelicerae, and very closely resemble a tarantula. If you closely examine a tarantula molt you will see that the fangs are folded back against a very spiky surface and are used to grasp prey items and tear them apart. That's a stunning P schlechteri, too. Very beautiful and underrated scorpion. Thanks for showing it to us!

Hey Petko,

I feel your pain when feeding scorpions! I found that using an infrared light will make 100% easier to feed them on camera while still being able to capture usable footage. The only downside is that everything will be red so it will be hard to see the colors on the scorps.

Upvote this so Petko can feed more scorpions for us scorpion lovers!!

Edit: the video turned out amazing anyways, keep on posting amazing content!!!

Considering how impossibly hard it is to film any bug feeding as a 1 man team. I feel like your one of the best in the world at it. You have gotten countless perfect clips of feeding with fantastic editing. Great job Dark Den, your really amazing at being a youtuber.

Scorpions are the whole reason I subscribed to this channel back in 2018. I wanted to get my own pet scorpion back then, and by watching your videos I learned that I did _not_ _actually_ _want_ _to_ _get_ _my_ _own_ _pet_ _scorpion._

[benji.B-side]

I'm a shy eater, I know how those scorpions feel.

Oh and 14:44 : "Best friends forever".... Until meal time!

[DrMuFFinMan]

The scorpion at 11:20 was trying so hard to reach with his stinger it reminded me of a person trying to get the tv remote from a chair but its just out of reach.

[kakarikiIck]

Great footage with the scorpion grabbing the worm! Great footage with all of them!!

[deewhitcha]

I was initially bummed that there weren't going to be any Ts in this video. The scorpion footage was awesome and there were surprise T cameos!

[ColoradoSockies]

Terrified of scorpions and always have been. But this has been helpful in making me somewhat less so.

[mrvwbug]

That first deathstalker definitely lived up to its name, very quick and precise kill on the roach :)

[Rodrigodroo]

I used to have about 50 tityus stigmurus a few years ago, try put water for them to drink and to bath (seriously, they some times enter in the bawl, if it doesn't go deeper than they, to clean theyself)

[krissrock]

As for feeding, i've often thought about just setting up a camera to catch them hunting at night... maybe you can set up the cameras and record a different scorpion feeding each night, and then put it together for a feeding video

[iNFiNiTTiB]

Got 17 Tarantulas all the best of the best in the US pet trade. No scorpions tho.... wouldn't mind a fat tail, or flat rock. Death Stalker would be really some INSANE to own

[angela_tarantulas]

Kudos to you Petko, for nice clips of your scorps! My 3 scorps are actually jar of dirts, I never really see them eating 😂 just notice that the feeders are gone and the scorps grow 🙈
