You probably wont ever get stung, they dont really tend to ever use it..

if its an emperor, you can feed them on your hand, very rare does mine even sting its pray, and when it does, its like a surgeoun, it ever so gently picks a nice spot and slowly injects its stinger, But if you try it and get stung, dont blame me, just get us some pics of it lol I think they are very cool. i like when i hand it a cricket with the tongs, he grabs it with his pincher and doesnt even kill it, just starts munching on its head lol lots of pics when you get it please.

It's the same with a snake, I don't want to get bit, but sorta do just to see... although, I will never do it intentionally. I will post a tin of pics!!!! Tomorrow also is cleaning day, so bunch of pics should be up.!!!
