I'm a complete scorpion noob, but have been looking at scorp info for the past three nights. Here are the three species that really seem to have my interest.
Iomachus politus - same family as Hadogenes, but looks better imo and should be very very very low venom toxicity. I guess these guys stay pretty small...less than 2" as adults? What size enclosure would I need for an adult? What if I did a communal tank with about 3-5 of them?
Heterometrus longimanus/Heterometrus spinifer - they seem about the same to me with spinifer being larger and they have nicer looking claws than Emperor. I think I've read that they are more active than emperor. I think they have a sting about that of a bee or a bit stronger?
