scorpions

well i've had spiders as big as my fist on the wall beside my bed, and we've had a coral snake on the floor on the way to the bathroom and now a scorpion. there was a scorpion on the floor of the house where i am visiting and the man of the house stepped barefoot on it. i told him it was a scorpion. he did it again. i told him it was poisonous and he put a sandal on and moved it outside. he is danish and didn't know about scorpions.
