I was wondering what the least deadly (to humans) parthenogenic scorpion would be? How bad is the sting? Answers are greatly appreciated
Yeah, H. Hottentotta looks cool.I can't say about least deadly parthogenic scorpion. Almost all the parthogenic scorps i can think of have around the same venom level due to their genus/species. Hottentotta hottentotta is the most easily availabe and it is the lowest on venom I can think of, I believe it's range is around 3.5-4 out of 5 on the level scale. The Tityus genus are also parthogenic, but I really don't see them often and most of their venom level is 5/5, meaning one hell of a sting. You're pretty young for wanting something on those levels. What is your experience with scorps??
I dont mean to spoil your fun, but Hottentotta is a genus with medically significant scorpion species that have caused fatalities. You’ll probably have issues finding someone who will sell to someone your age.What are some of the symptoms of a H. Hottentotta stings and how bad?
None of those are scorpions, so you definitely need some scorpions first before anything that is a parthogenic scorpion. I don't even think you can buy any at all to be honest. You're 13 (No offense, but still on the young side), wanting a potent sting scorpion?? Almost all parthogenic scorpions are venomous. I don't think you can even buy anything venomous at that age, let alone have no experience with scorpions. your list is interesting, but it's not anything to do with scorpions. It's like wanting to raise a venomous snake, and the list only has fishes of what that person has raised.Yeah, H. Hottentotta looks cool.
Yes, I am very young. Just 13. But don't let my age fool you. I'm an animal addict.
I have kept:

I have 6 more mantids coming in the mail, will be ordering Tarantulas, Scorpions, Beetles, Velvet Ants (wasps), Jumping Spiders, and Antlions when I have enough money saved up. So yeah, I have years and years of experience with animals and bugs. But sadly almost none with tarantulas and scorpions... I have touched both but other than that none. That's why I am asking around about them. I really love how some scorpions are parthogenic and really wanted to see that first hand.
My dad doesn't let me keep deadly bugs so that's why I am trying to find some not as deadly parthogenic scorpions. Though I have kept some deadly bugs on that list... but don't tell him.

I totally agree here. If they had experience with scorps and other venomous invertebrates it would be better. As for his age not allowing him to purchase venomous animals, I think that’s not true. Medically significant, probably, but venomous probably not. I don’t see any issue with someone selling him species like Heterometrus, Pandius, Hadurus etc.You're 13 (No offense, but still on the young side), wanting a potent sting scorpion??

Hmm. I did not know that almost all parthenogenic scorpions were deadly. I myself am not worried about getting stung, I handle pain much better than most. But I have young siblings in my house and I wouldn't want my selfish desire to raise a parthenogenic scorpion to put them in harms way. I HAVE had experience with venomous inverts, and also have handled venomous inverts. But what about Liocheles australasiae? They (as far as I know) are parthenogenic, and most compare their sting to a mosquito bite. Also, since you both are more experienced, what would you reccomend for a begginer that's not too venomous? Even if it is not parthenogenic. (Nothing too large, max 4 in) Thank you for the info @NYAN and @Liquifin !
Liocheles is a good one, I'd forgotten about those. Easy to care for as long as they have consistent humidity. I believe @gromgrom has some too. They're venom is basically non-existent, but good luck even getting them to try to sting. Very laid back, they'd rather just hunker down and try to hide. If you keep bugging them they try to pinch first.Hmm. I did not know that almost all parthenogenic scorpions were deadly.

Thank you! I have gotten in contact with gromgrom and will hopefully buy one from him!Liocheles is a good one, I'd forgotten about those. Easy to care for as long as they have consistent humidity.

I've heard the same thing, but I don't think there are any confirmed cases of it happening, so I'd assume hearsay.Since we are no the subject, is Heterometrus longimanus parthenigenic? I do not buy it one bit, but now and then I see people claim they are, anyone more experienced can chime in? (Or is this taboo to talk about?)
but even if they aren't they are still an amazing scorpion to keep!
Ive always heard the claims are with new individuals that were wild caught so its far more likely they mated before they were capturedSince we are no the subject, is Heterometrus longimanus parthenigenic?
