If you could only have 1 genus...

[Stugy]

If you could only have 1 genus of scorpion, what would you choose? You can choose any genus but choose wisely! I would choose uhh... oh shoot I didn't think this through. I'll get back to you on that lol.

 

[brolloks]

Most probably Parabuthus

 

[Anoplogaster]

Androctonus.

Only because I like telling people that it means "Man Killer"

 

[RTTB]

Vaejovis

 

[Stugy]

Centruroides

You get all the different kinds, desert, tropical, large, small, colorful, dull. And many are communal.

 

[ArachnoDrew]

Uroplectes

 

[Jason Brantley]

Androctonus for me.

 

[Extensionofgreen]

This is a tough one, because I'm constantly coming across new genera and species that catch my eye.
I think Centuruoides offer a good variety of habitats, colors, and shapes. I am really starting to appreciate the tiny and challenging Orthochirus, though. There are less species to worry about collecting, they can be kept communally, they are unique, and they offer all of the appeal on Androctonus, without the corresponding significant venom.
Ultimately, I think I could stick to buthids, but not one genera.

 

[Jason Brantley]

Androctoquestriatus!

 

[Oroborus]

Androctonus.

Probably Hottentotta

 

[JoshBC]

Androctonus are my favorites. But I do love Hottentottas. My Judaicus is the only scorp I've ever had that prefers being upside-down. Hot/cold, wet/dry, seems to enjoy it all. Let's not forget who the biggest 'man killer' of all is lol.

 

[ZX14]

Parabuthus, leiurus, and or Tityus for me

 

[journeys and scorpions]

Hottentotta spp.!

In all sizes available, arid, in much colours and variations and you can keep in groups!

 

[soldierof4cheese]

Hadogenes Troglodyte, i like them big.

 

[TheScorpionMan]

Hottentotta spp.!

In all sizes available, arid, in much colours and variations and you can keep in groups!

Yes and some species are very lethal like h. Gentili and h. Tamulus.

 

[Scorpionluva]

Too hard to pick just 1 but it would be Uroplectes for me ! The most colorful , feisty and active genus ive seen yet.
If you were to do a top 5 it would look like this for me
1 uroplectes
2 parabuthus
3 rhopalurus/ heteroctenus
4 hottentotta
5 androctonus

 

[Arachnid Hobby]

Either Hottentotta or Centruroides.

 

[Stenodactylus]

Hottentotta, Opistophthalmus or Alacran

Hottentotta for the sheer number of incredibly fun scorpions.
Opistophthalmus for a decently sized genus of big, mean scorpions!
Alacran are my favs, but there are only 3 species. They would be the number one choice, but I would be finished getting new species a bit too soon for my liking.

 

[journeys and scorpions]

Alacran

Cool! I dont know this genus before. Do u have a pic?
