If you could only have five ...

[Cyris69]

In no particular order

Androctonus bicolor "aeneas morph"
Tityus sylvestris, love the blue
Lychas infuscatus
Heterometrus spinifer
Centruroides margaritatus

Seems like B. jacksoni is a very popular one.

 

[hottentotta.ch]

My favourites:

- Androctonus hoggarensis
- Parabuthus namibensis
- Leiurus jordanensis
- Apistobuthus pterygocercus
- Parabuthus granulatus

But to say, it changes everyday!

 

[Aztek]

I'll redo mine
1.) C.Suffusus
2.)A.Australis
3.)H.Hottenetta
4.)H.Longimanus
5.)Transvicausus(sp?)

 

[Selenops]

Within reason:

Androctonus australis
Androctonus mauretanicus/crassicauda/bicolor
Babycurus jacksoni
Buthus occitanus
Tityus stigmurus

 

[Dom]

In no particular order...

Androctonus australis
Androctonus bicolor
Hottentotta trilineatus
Babycurus jacksoni
Parabuthus transvaalicus

Aren't all of those DWA? or whatever it's called in the U.K.

One thing I've learned is that there is a big difference between what I think I want and what I actually like when I've got to look after it.
My faves so far:

B. jacksoni
C. gracilis
T. stigmurus
R. junceus (except they aren't as happy with cooler temps)
H. paucidens, if they would molt for me:wall: .

 

[freeman]

i want..

1) Troglorhopalurus translucidus
2) Lychas(marmoreus, variatus, spinatus, tricarinatus, asper), Isomerus, Isometroides, Urodactus, Cercophonius or other from Australia - they are all nice
3) Leiurus jordanensis, Androctonus australis ''hector''
4) Tityus paraensis, Tityus ocelote, Microtityus spp.
5) Microbuthus flavorufus, Orthochirus spp.

more than 5 but i can't help - it's so hard to pick

 

[ralliart]

My Top 5 picks (communal setup of the 1st 4 picks) ;P

Hottentotta Jayakari Jayakari
Hottentotta Jayakari Salei
Hottentotta Judaicus
Rhopalurus Junceus

Parabuthus Liosoma

*greedy*

 

[EightLeggedFrea]

1. Parabuthus liosoma- because they can SHOOT venom and I think they look cooler than P. transvaalicus.
2. Hadrurus arizonensis- because they are active and good eaters.
3. Babycurus jacksoni- because I think they look cool and are one of the few Buthids whose stings aren't deadly and you can keep them in groups.
4. Centruroides vittatus- same as B. jacksoni, plus they stay visible most of the time b/c they like to rest on bark.
5. Pandinus cavimanus- they are the same as Emps, but IMO look cooler and have bigger attitudes. They don't get as big, tho.

 

[signinsimple]

My favorite list o scorps:

5) Hottentotta Jayakari Jayakari
4) Hadrurus arizonensis pallidus (hoping to get one or two 7-inch specimens relatively soon)
3) Scorpio maurus palmatus
2) Smeringurus mesaensis (Ghost morph if it does indeed exist..only seen pictures)
1) Scorpio maurus ssp "Morrocco" (What can i say, I like Scorpio maurus. And the coloring on this scorp is amazing)

 

[rasputin]

reckon I might as well make a list too, it's 5am and I'm dead bored

Leiurus jordanensis
Hottentotta judaicus
Isometrus maculatus
Tityus ocelote
Superstitionia donensis

if anyone has leads on where I can acquire the first four then let me know (I'm thinking in pairs or more). I understand L. jordanensis is impossible currently but it's still a species I've been trying to find someone holding that can get me a pair - if any of you hear something...
