As old as I tell you

23, feel 33

Been keeping Tarantulas for 2 years and scorps for about 2 months. I wouldn't call either of them bugs, to me bugs are pests, and I have much love and respect for my little venomous bastards. :D

Im 21 and got my first scorpion when i was about 10 or 11. Have kept a small number of herps/inverts since then. I enjoy learning about them, informing friends about them, and getting them into herps and inverts most of all. Right now i have an A. Australis and a plain ol' Leopard Gecko.

19, I've been in the arachnid hobby since I was 6 (started out with local wolf spiders and Lat macs), got my first tarantula when I was 7 (a Grammostola rosea) and began keeping scorpions a few years ago (my mother was terrified of them for the longest time, but we have a sort of "don't ask/don't tell" pet policy enacted at the moment... she doesn't want to know what's living casually inside of that 29 gallon desert setup on my nightstand and I don't blame her ;)).

29 and still not sure I'll survive my twenties :rolleyes: Started collecting scorps 1 1/2 yrs. ago, when I inherited my first pregnant C. exilicauda. I have 5 of the babies, as well as an emperor and a red-claw, and hope to get a few more species soon...

For the longest time I thought I was the youngest on the board.

Ok, well I'm 26; been keeping emperors since February. (4 months?)

Always thought scorpions were cool animals, but hadn't considered that you could keep one as a pet until then.

I'm 22, wil be 23 in November. I don't currently have any scorpions, I will be getting an Emperor soon. I have 256 gallons worth of aquariums in my house. My mom said she would kill me if I set up another fish tank so I decided to use one of my spare 5 gallons for a scorp. I also have two rats, had them for about a year now.
