Poll: Scorps vs. Ts (owners of both only!)

[~Abyss~]

Not really. Face it the best thing in the order Araneae are mygalomorphs and t's...and they're pretty boring in themselves already.

 

[Zoltan]

For you maybe.

What species are those scorps you posted earlier? The ones that have those nice patterns, the yellow-black and blue/purple-yellow.

Hi,

please take this as there "just for the fun of it", as it´s meant:

Boring..., huh?

Compared to mygalomorphs, huh?

Sporting the genus with the most active neurotoxin-fraction in its whole toxin venom composition (Phoneutria) and the the worlds recognized largest spider at all (Heteropoda maxima), pointless to mention even the worlds fastest moving arachnid of all...

Well, you may have a point, as long as you are able to show all of us a scorp that can compare to those, old friend.

Let´s keep this game alive.

Regards,

See the original game was vs. T's and Scorp. Now you guys resort to brining in True Spiders, mygalomorphs, ect. Shame.

More like when a medically significant scorpion stings you:?

i doubt there a such thing for me. I seem immune to scorps. however, im not about to let a LQ or the like sting me to test that lol
but, the thing is I find pedes pretty often that can make you hurt really bad, but dont find scorps capable of that . I mean, I seriously doubt i will ever flip a rock in the Texas hill country and find an LQ under it lol a pissed off scolopendra however is very likely lol

Probably not, because there are no LQs in Texas.

sure there are, i know where at least 3 are right now lol
but ...
thats the point

How the hell did pedes get into this? Anyways pedes have a different toxic coctail than scorpions. For the most part pede venom tend to hurt the bones. But if you really wanna test out how immune you are to scorps why not try a C. sculpt. The pain will last you a week and it doesn't even rank up there with LQ and Most Andro species.

no i dont want to test it lol
i have tested it enough already unintentionally. and If i ever decided to test it I would sure work my way up .
I got a little V. waueri that i think stung me the other day lol not sure tho .
i need a male for her lol
anyway

 

[~Abyss~]

Don't get me wrong MOST scorps are for the most part harmless. In fact I quite enjoy a good envenomation from the weaker species but the ones that pack a punch REALLY pack a punch.

Haha, I know huh.

 

[fartkowski]

I just got into scorpions so I voted for Tarantulas.
But who knows in the future. I am really digging the scorps

This thread is silly and pointless. That's fine, though, people can spend their time as they please.

What is NOT fine is the number of copyright images I just had to go through. If the image does not belong to you, link to it on the original server with a URL tag, don't use an IMG tag to embed it. And when I say original server, I mean original server. Don't link to someone's photobucket site or another forum if it is obvious the image was originally from somewhere else.

Read the rules, folks. They can be found in the rules forum.

Cheers,
Dave

It's just a frindly debate.

I was speaking more of the Mexican ones which I do encounter once every couple years.

T's can grow so big and are very furocious eaters. I love any spider/T that webs alot. I have quite a few scorpions, pedes, and T's, but I enjoy my T's the most.

 

[HKronos]

I was going to ignore this thread but there are alot of respectable members participating so, what the heck, right?

I slightly prefer Ts, one of the most popular inverts and yet, they are so underrated by those that have other preferences. I just love big hairy "huggable" spiders that come in a highly diverse array of color and pattern. I think their predator dynamics are awesome, big fangs dripping with venom and digestive enzymes and the ability to pounce in an instant flurry of legs.

Scorpions are awesome in their own right too and resemble mechanical mini-beasts and some demanding our respect outta the sheer lethality of their venom. Though watching them actually feed is alot more boring than than the T and its bundle of soup, bear in mind not preying but feeding. Both can put on a great performance preying, especially the ones that are exceptionally aggressive.

Both behavior wise, they balance out fine, though visual eyecandy, Ts definitely win.

 

[Yanose]

I have kept several T's over the years and am just now getting into scorps but my vote has to go with scorps. Two main reasons one I can keep the one I have communaly and two they seem to create less clutter in their cage even though you are always cleaning cricket parts out of your cages.

 

[white_feather]

Right now I am on a Scorpion swing even though I just bought nine T's. I am going to be getting 20 OBT's Tuesday and four or more Bark Scorpions on Friday.

 

[biomarine2000]

Tarantulas

I vote tarantulas all the way. I have both species and I find the scorp's kind of boring imo. I love feeding and watching the T's all the time.
