Gee, I was hoping it would've been a mudpuppy. Sorry, not much a mammalian kind of person. I prefer the ectothermic to the endothermic, they're much cleaner.

Depending on what species of scorpion it is I would say avoid getting stung. Seriously, what kind of scorpion are we talking about? Taxonomic names will help a lot. I am hoping you stood clear of any Buthids.
