I hate to contribute to the hundreds of 'first scorpion' threads, but I have done some research, and I think it might not be a bad idea to create one to see if there are any suggestions for what i really have in mind. So I appreciate any help y'all can give me.
Through my searches of starter scorpion threads it seemed that P. imperator was the #1 suggestion. Well, maybe I'm non-conformal, I don't want to start with what everyone starts with! (Trust me, I was the same with my Ts I still don't have a G. rosea). Not to mention, I don't particularly care for the look of P. imperator or any of the similar looking species.
I'm also looking for something that doesn't need warm temps, I'd like to be able to keep it at room temp just like any of my Ts if possible.
I don't want anything with medically significant venom to start off with, just to get that out there right now.
I'm still not familiar with many species of scorps or anything, so I apologize. I do however recall a species from Arizona that was good for a starter?
I also remember reading and doing some research on a species... L. australasiae? but if I understand correctly, these really aren't available?
Don't care one way or another about communal or not.
