First Time Scorpions

[Djv44spider]

I've been keeping tarantulas for a little while and have started checking out scorpions. I was just curious what species people thought were hardy for first time keepers. I look forward to hearing people's thoughts.

Hadurus, heterometrus and pandius are all good beginners. Pretty much any desert scorp will be easy also.

Nice I will look into them, I really appreciate it

Centruroides is another good one, but the venom is more potent.

I find babycurus Jacksoni is a good scorpion, I had that (and a deathstalker, but I don't recommend as a beginner as they're very venomous) as my firsts, they were relatively easy to manage, jacksoni are cool because if you setup a woodsy type tank you can have them communal and it's fun trying to spot them sometimes as they're masters of camouflage.

That sounds awesome

Giant dessert hairy, definitely one of the easiest and cheapest scorpion
