Household Herping

[Taipan]

I agree completely! I don't really consider Centruroides very dangerous to healthy adults (in the absence of allegic reactions). However, a sting from one could be quite unpleasant. A long time ago, I was stung by a striped-tail scorpion (Vejovius) (moving debris looking for herps) and it was a lot like a bee sting.

Thanks for the info on the potency scale! A 3 on a scale of 1-5 is about what I would have suspected.
