I am going to have to agree... the amount of "you shouldnt be keeping those" or "you are not experienced enough" is getting old. People must start somewhere, and maybe not all people are attracted to beginner species such as P. emps.....

Truth of the matter is, Scorps are alot easier to care for than T's IMO.... and as long as people know the necessary habitat and dont try to pet their new LQ, things should be fine. Most people on these forums are of the age and the mental capacity to not get themselves hurt or hurt the animals, so maybe we all need to chill and allow the scorp keeping hobby to expand and flourish...

Well I didnt want to start a war on this board. Lets start off by thanking the people that have helped so far Thank you. Now to the rest of the people yes you can say I am a beginer but I am no foolish kid eather. I know better than not to stick my hands in its tank. I am a strong beliver in not holding them or any of my T's. Heck I keep 15 OBT's (for the ones that dont know they are called orange bitey things for a reason). I know not to put myself in a postion that I could possibly get hurt. Knowing that is enough in my book to say you are qualified to take care of an aggresive species. I dont get none of my animals for show off reasons. They are all locked in my computer room safly away from anyones pring hands. The bottem line is I am working 2 jobs my first being a full time mechanic and my second for the love of my pets. I am helping the pet store part time to help them. I do it because I love animals not because I need the paycheck. They lost there aracnid and reptile person so I stepped in to fill his shoes. I been around both for quit a while. The bottem line is nomatter if I own this thing or not I have to deal with it on a weekly basis. I am the only one that touches the spiders snakes or scorps. I am not afraid to do it because I respect it and I know it will never have respect for me. I know the first chance that he has he will try to get me or hide wich is a better decision for him at the time. I cam into this subforum thinking I was going to get a great wealth of knowlage from you fine people, but I have been put down alot. I post all the time on the aracnid board and have never been put down. I guess I made this rant long enough, So agian those that havent condemed me THANK YOU. If anyone of you can point me towrds a good site for them I would love you for it. The only sites I have found are the single page care sheets that give genarl info. I want to be able to set up a critter keeper vivaruim for it tonight or tomorow after work so I can transplant this little guy once and for all in his new home. Now to the rest of you please give a guy a chance, do be so judgemental by his questions. it was late and I was tired after working 2 jobs so I was tring to be as short and sweet as possible. not to sound like a dumb newb. Ohh by the way I have kept emps for over 5 years and I AM planning for a larger collection before its over. Also the same with pedes as soon as I can find a good deeler.

Yup....enough said.
Some people on these boards assume if your asking about something, you have no clue about other inverts. If your keeping OBT's then I think your far beyond prepared for a LQ.
I think this thread has been beaten to death...

Interesting Scorp.

Not long ago we had a shop in Lincoln Ne, that was very liberal in selling scorpions of varying degrees of potency to anyone, however, the L.Q. and the Tunisian Fat Tail were the two they showed concern with. For good reason obviously, between temperament and potency. I wanted one of each but at that point had only experimented with C. Vittatus, P. Imperator, and H. Arizonesis... All amazing scorpions but none of which compare. From a somewhat cautious stand point I grip the idea of warning him, but informing him is much much more valuable. I don't fear these animals, in fact my Hydruras was kind of like a friend whom I respected enough to know when enough was enough... Boundaries are what is takes, and I value those of you who inform as opposed to scare people... Just kind of a rant, but thanks to everyone regardless of your methods.
