Hey Andy,
Actually the whip scorpions bark is alot worse than their bite. I hold them all the time; the worst they will do is either pinch you or spray you with the acid in their tails. I have heard some people say that the acid burns when it gets on your skin, but it has never bothered me, just smells bad. It’s the smaller scorpions you have to watch out for they actually do bite or should I say sting.

The boa is from the litter you inquired about earlier this year.
Thanks,
Steve
