Best kind of Scorp?

[scorpman16]

What scorpion(s) do you think are the best. Tell us here!

 

[Rydog]

Androctonus mauretanicus are my favorite. I think the poll choices should be expanded.

 

[DrJ]

I'm a little confused because the poll specifically asked about one type of scorpion, not really asking my favourite. But, I'll share my opinions anyway. I don't really care for the flat rock, as it has a fat body and scrawny tail...I just don't like the shape of it. To me, it looks proportionally incorrect. I'm not really a scorp person, but I like the looks of fat tails. My favourite scorpion has got to be the Hadrurus arizonensis or Arizona Hairy scorpion. Proportionally all around I really like it...and the yellow coloration it holds is pretty interesting as most everybody owns a Pandinus imperator or Emperor scorpion...so, it's a little different, and not being a big scorp guy, isn't a huge differentiation (to me) from others that are potentially dangerous due to their venom toxicity. So, though I like fat tails, the Yellow Fat Tail or Androctonus australis is a little too venomous for my tastes.

My favorite has to be the Babycurus jacksoni. I really like its colors.

But the emp is a close second.

hadrurus arizonensis

 

[Ehaze]

Androctonus A. has my vote

 

[JesseD]

Babycurus jacksoni for the colour of course and it's hardiness.

 

[rasputin]

this is a tough one for me to answer. I would have to agree with several other and say H. arizonensis because of how much peace I found a few years back just observing the activities of the sole scorp my ex allowed me to have. but I really want to get my hands on I. maculatus and S. donensis - I'm sure one of them will have my heart over the army currently in my possession.

 

[Mr. Quick]

I probably couldn't choose just one single favorite scorp.

Some of my favorites though:

Israeli Gold Scorpion (Scorpio Maurus Palmatus)
Pandinus Imerator (Emperor Scorpion)
Pandinus fulvipes
All of the Heterometrus species
Hadrurus Arizonensis

I could list plenty more though...

 

[Aztek]

Action-transvaalicus
Sentimental-Centruroides Suffusus,C.Noxius,C.Limpidus
Anatomy-Any fat tail
Colors- None yet, maybe Spadix with the black and yellow, or any translucent or pale type of scorpion is pretty cool.
That I own-a.Amourexi

And about the flatrocks, I don't mind them they're cool to me. Flat and long may be weird but it's synonym is unique which is a good thing.

 

[Athlon2k2]

I don't care for flat rocks. I do like anything Androctonus

 

[scorpman16]

Is the Flat rock scorp good for first timer? I'm torn between the Emp and the Flat Rock:wall:

 

[DrJ]

Yes, they are excellent, but they hide a lot more than emps do (I find flat rocks tend to hide a lot, while emps are primarily out in the open). My personal opinion would go for the emp. The jet black look and proportionate body and tail appeal to me over the flat rock's scrawny tail. However, it is up to you on what to get. These are just my opinions.

 

[radicaldementia]

Apparently my emp missed the memo about being out in the open a lot. Last time I saw more than the tips of her claws was about a month ago.

My favorite goes to B. Jacksoni. Cool coloring and very active. I also really like the look of Androctonus sp. but I don't own one.....yet.

 

[~Abyss~]

Weirdest poll ever...but okay. My top 5 favorites scorps in no specific order are C. suffusus, H. arizonensis, A. bicolor, L. quint., and eh ....R. junceus. For right now. I tend to change around from year to year. Flat rocks are pretty cool looking but the most BORING!!! scorp I've ever owned. I do want to get another one.

I like flat rock scorpions, but I like being able to keep colony groups. Centroides (probably didn't spell that right) sp. are great for that.

The only flat rock scorpions I usually see are the few babies I have, which are individually deli cupped and don't have as much cover space as their mother.

Hottentotta franzwerneri gentili

hfg's are easily my faves,with judaicas following right after love the long claws the ease of keeping adults together and just the shear ferocity,they are so aggro

Hi!

My favourite genus ist Parabuthus!
They are the most beautiful scorpions in the world!

 

[Trexer]

I myself only own an Emp, but i love scorpions with an even distribution of body shape, big claws and nice size tail i love the big bulgy tank like scorpions so my favourites would have to be members of the Pandinus family, especially the Pandinus cf militus, looking on the scorpion fauna the colour is beautiful, same with the viatoris. The O. wahlbergii is also a very nice scorpion and the heterometrus spinifer. So the scorps with the big claws and nice sized tails are my favourites

 

[CharlaineC]

beleave it or not i love mt p emps their so avtive and crazy i theink ther great. but i love all scorps.
