Can't decide between Tityus, Hottentotta, Androctonus and Leiurus

I'm 18 years old. I started with Emperors when I was about 12 years old, and got my first buthid (a Babycurus jacksoni) at 15. I now own a sexed pair of Leiurus jordanensis, 10 Androctonus mauritanicus, a Hottentotta franzwerneri and a trio of Tityus asthenes. I'm very well aware and...

Leiurus jordanensis, Tityus bahiensis, Tityus bastosi and Centruroides bicolor. Couldn't pick one

Been trying to get my hands on mauretanicus and crassicauda for a while. I'm pretty sure nasheri is still valid, I heard them and macroctenus made their way into the hobby. I didn't know microtityus was in though, those are amazing

Well considering the only two Leiurus species that have had their venoms examined (abdullahbayrami and quinquestriatus) are #1 and #2 on the LD50 list of most venomous scorpions (0.19 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg, respectively) I hope to never find out

Yes that's me lol. May I ask what's your holy grail species?

I know she's huge! I hope she molts soon. She's eaten two dubia since I got her two weeks ago and refused a third as of yesterday so I'm hoping lol

I decided to use some in their enclosures to add more of a natural feel and they're starting to grow on me. Personally I prefer live planted enclosures over the fake plants but this is much more manageable

Felt like sharing some pictures of my young pair of Leiurus jordanensis. Hope to breed these guys in the future Male: Female:

Hottentotta tamulus LD50 is 0.9 mg/kg, behind the majority of Androctonus species but at the forefront of the Hottentotta genus. They are, however, found in some of the most crowded parts of the world, living commonly in the urban areas of India that have no access to medical care; this makes...

I actually have jordanensis but they are under a heat lamp, around 85° F. They are both very active, the female moreso as in she is always exploring. So far they haven't used their stingers defensively, only to kill their prey (which happened rapidly).

Wow, neither my male or female have ever shown that kind of defensiveness. They haven't even threat posed. It really must depend on not only genus and species, but the individual animal as well.

The only two Leiurus species that have been through the LD50 test (so far, at least that's all I can find; correct me if I'm wrong) were Leiurus quinquestriatus and Leiurus abdullahbayrami. LQ LD50 was listed as between 0.16 and 0.25 mg/kg, and LA is at 0.19 mg/kg. Both are significantly more...

Still have mine from you that I got back in 2015! They're easily my favorite animals and really enjoyable to raise. Easy & slow growing is the way to go
