I've seen a fair few scorpions around. Some emporor scorpions (3-4") in the dry areas of the country and Traansval scorpions closer by, these were around an inch each and only after catching them in test tubes did I find out they're extremely dangerous and I let them go. Don't keep any scorpions through, but I should have photos somewhere
Not really sometimes it does try to hit me with it's tail but it doesn't even use it's stinger just trying to push me away more so. I handle a good amount of desert hairy and Asian forest scorpions for work just by free handling them. So far I've never even had a close call.
