Feeding Time!!! Time to feed the scorpion :-).
Meet Gorax...
That's right folks, after having the scorpion a month now I decided to give it a name. Gorax! And Gorax is hungry...
HE GOT ONE!
I put fresh crickets in his cage and it didn't take him long at all to catch one. It was almost as quick as watching a snake catch a mouse, my favorite past time :-). He just started chowing down HA HA.
Wookieepedia, the Star Wars WikiWhere did I come up with the name? I don't know it just came to me. I had been thinking about a name for several days now and everything else I came up with sucked but Gorax stuck. Of course I had to look up to see it this name had any significance to it. Amazingly enough it did HA HA! It turns out a "Gorax" is a giant Sasquatch-like ape man with pointy ears native to the mountains of Endor from the Star Wars series.
Shows how much I know about Star Wars HA HA. Learn something new everyday. So I ended up naming my scorpion after one of these big giant ugly humanoid creatures. COOL!!!
Now to finish watching him eat! :-) :-) :-)

Howdy Rainbow Man! That's a great name! Do you feed Gorax anything beside crickets or is that all he needs? I still think scorpions are creepy but then I haven't owned one as a pet either. lol.
Howdy Jonboy!
Right now I'm only feeding him crickets because the weather is too cold. Or else I would just bring home some worms or other bugs I see crawling across the bike trail. Once Spring gets here I'm sure the bugs will be out crawling around again I won't have to feed him crickets.
Have you got stung yet? How long do they live? You might not have to worry about catching him food.
Yes I have been stung once. It felt no worse than a pin prick. It hurt as bad as getting your finger pricked like when giving a blood test. That's it. There was a little tingly numbness that lasted maybe 15 to 20 mins. After that it went away. All that was left was a tiny red mark where I was stung. I might as well of been stung by a wasp. It felt no different really.
I do still plan on making a video but I will need some assistance before I do.
Oh very interesting. I heard that it hurts like crazy but maybe you're tougher than the average maniac out there letting themselves get stung by scorpions! lol.
I guess it depends on the breed of scorpion that stings you really. I would imagine getting stung by the emperor scorpion would hurt a whole lot worse HA HA. Gorax is tiny. Maybe 2 and a half to 3 inches long if you stretch out his tail all the way.
Yeah that makes sense Rainbow Man. That sounds a little small for you, do they have any others around there that are bigger?
Nope, this is the only scorpion found in Arkansas believe it or not.
Wow. A scorpion as a pet. I thought Emily was crazy. Gorax does sound like a good scorpion name tho. !BEER
Thanks Dave!
Friggin' Cool.... is @ Scorpion King steem name still available...?
I don't know.
Gorax, unique and fitting. I love that your two tags scorpion and fun. I would never put those teo words together. 😂 hope life is treating you okay.
HA HA Thanks Beth! As time goes on I may have a couple more scorpion blogs. I really want to make a video of it stinging me. You know, for comedic reasons HA HA.
Ouch!!
Nice! It's doing well. Check out what I found!
DUDE! You caught three Green Anoles! Did you go down to Florida recently? Where did you find them???
LOL, no, I caught SIX!!!! Ended up in Southern Mississippi for work recently! Should have a video out about it in a couple days.
COOL! Look forward to watching it.
Have a witness !BEER
