I am not a entomologist or a scientist, But I do go to various places to teach people about scorpions, tarantulas and reptiles.
I'll take different scorps and snakes to places, One of my specialty's is venomous snakes. Such as puff adders. Like gaboons,rhino vipers etc.
Honestly i have to say no, You shouldn't get one. I'm only saying this because you may one day regret it. :eek:
When you compare the "hot" species of scorps to the harmless types. The "hots" are dull in comparison.
Who here can say that a L. quinquestriatus is cooler than P. imperator...
I hope to see some babies soon! :D
Also another question, Will the majority of the babies come out looking like the mother? And how would I do about taking care of them?
I've had this cool little jumping spider for about 7 months and it's doing great. Yesterday I looked into its setup and there is an eggsac, I haven't kept it with any other jumping spiders. So my question is, After about 7 months of having this spider how does it lay an eggsac now?
I'm not...
When you think about it, There is no real reason to even try to handle them. You are risking a potentially harmful and very painful bite. Especially with something like H. lividum.
Don't try it.
I would recommend any type of burrowing scorpion, Such as Ophistothalmus walberghi.
They are quite mean and cannot be handled (Unless you don't mind getting stung), Their stings are quite painful as well.
Paraphysa scrofa can be considered a dwarf species. They are only 4-5 to five inches at most. And not to mention they are beautiful. :)
These have quickly become one of my favorite tarantulas. Buy one and you'll find out why. :cool:
If you're set on handling it, I would recommend doing in a very enclosed area just in case in gets away from you. Somewhere like a small room with a towel at the bottom of the door to prevent escape. Or you you handle it over a large sterilite plastic tub etc.
But believe me, If you get bit...
You can't go wrong with a G. rosea. :) In my opinion they are the best choice for anyone's first T, Also another excellent choice would be a P. scrofa. I love these little guys! :D I've never had any problems with them and they are extremely durable tarantulas. I got this female from a guy...
