How old are y'all?

[Hoosier]

I was wondering what the age range is here. Post your age and the length of time you were in the scorpion/bug hobby.

and I got my first tarantula in January, 1998 for my classroom. Then a parent gave me a pair of Emperor scorpions. Unfortunately they're gone now but I'd like get another one. I have 140 tarantulas now. John

PS, PIter and I share a birthday.

21, turning 22 soon and still an undergrad, how embarrassing.

I've been in the invert hobby since the beginning of this year, not a very long time. My first (and only) scorps are my 3 emp babies purchased about 3 months ago. I am not sure I will be purchasing scorps in the near future; these little babies are great, but they spend too much time underground for me to justify another buy.

Umm ... 24. Should be graduating soon, though. I always think I've been in the hobby forever, but when I actually break it down I got my first scorpions about four years ago. Had reptiles before that.

Cheers,
Dave

eksong, if I'm not mistaken emperors are a good deal less... "on crack" than some of the more aggressive species.. which is why they're recommended as good starters.

If you move up the aggression ladder a bit you may find them to be more to your liking.

19 going on 20 in a couple weeks. No scorps yet, but I did buy 3 beautiful baby Ts today though!

 

[Kugellager]

I'm 35 and got my first scorpions about 12 years ago and have been in and out of the hobby in a limited way until about three years ago...now I'm in really deep...65+ scorpions not counting babies 21+ species and no end in sight. Definitely trying to get into the more scientific end of the hobby as well.

I prefer to collect most of my scorpions now...much more fun and much more satisfying to find them yourself...plus you get to hang out in some beautiful terrain and see all the other critters out there as well.
