I was 19 (still am) and one of my buddies from work gave me a Pandinus imperator that was used in his college invertebrate biology class. I just recently added 1 Babycurus jacksoni and 3 Vaejovis spinigerus to the collection and plan on making my collection much larger.

From 5 years old, I have owned a load of snakes and lizards. Was always interested in scorps. Finally, at 43 I caught my first. Hadrurus arizonensis. It was the largest I have seen.

I was born in AZ so pretty much ever since I could walk I've been interested in arachnids. I was never allowed to keep any (unless I snuck them in, which was all the time) so when I moved out on my own when I turned eighteen.... It's been none stop ever since. My first scorp was a captive born B. Jacksoni.

Very first was h. petersii babies, then a couple hottentotta species, then some r. junceus and it just snowballed from there.

25, 3 P.Imp (one was gravid :D) Big Momma kicked the bucket, but her scorplings are coming up on 4I...thinking about a P.Troglodyte next, but I'd settle for anything with 8 legs, 2 claws and a tail.
