Demographics: Scorpion owners

[JMoran1097]

I was just curious as to what age group most scorpion owners fall into...

I just turned 40, and only recently begun collecting scorps.

i'm 21 and just bought my first.

I got my first scorpion right before I turned 13. I'm 14 now. I own somewhere around 30 scorpions with a box coming in. I highly doubt my addiction will stop any time soon.

Got my first scorp when I was 14, but had to sell my collection when I went off to college. I'm 22 now and getting back into the hobby with even more enthusiasm than before.

My younger brother, who also posts on this account occasionally, is 19 and is just getting into scorps. :clap:
