Well I dont own any scorpions but i would love to have many but my parents blow it away big time. Mom can I get a scorpion her answer: In your dreams. When I move out im going to have alot of creatures of night. Well when i started this bug hobbie I was 6 when I started the hobby I handled anything at that age I handled a rose hair tarantula and a emporer scorpion. That moment of my life made me happy. I give my big brother alot of thx because he started me off with my ant colony then it moved on from that breeding carbid beetles, diving beetles, frogs, everything. Ty big brother for everything!

I was 6 years old and started with a C. Glacilis found in my house. My father took it for me and cut his stingger so it would not do anything to me. It lasted for about 4 months with me until it died. The next one I had was when I was 13 and I found it in my house close to my pool. My sister almost steped it, so I took good care of it and then release him. This time I had it with stinger and everything but I was very careful. Same specie though.
The next one I had was the same specie, a C. Glacilis found in my house, in the tv room. I wanted to have him more than jsut about a month or 2, so I was talking good care of him, but I had many stones in the terrarium, so once he got in a hide, and when my made was cleaning the room, she moved the cage and the stone where the scorp was hiding crashed the poor thing. I was so mad that day, but what could I do?
Now I have 3 Chactas species which I had never seen before, also wild cought. This time I have had them for 5 months, and they are awesome looking and nice pets. I like a lot those animals. That is the whole story.

Well I was 19 when I first started keeping scorpions . It was a very docile P. cavimanus that came in as an imp from Petco. P. jasonius is the one who helped me get started.

Deciding randomly on my 21st birthday that a scorpion would be a cool pet. I went to the local pet store, and bought a p. imperator. A few months later got some b jacskonis, a few months later got a few more species, then I got some tarantulas. My collection has grown quite a bit in under a year. And I am still looking at getting some more.

I was 10 and i got a P.cavimanus, he was my buddy for a good 8 years, he passed in peace so i was not sad! I also had many species and i'm 21 now

 

[Aztek]

Born into it.
Gotta understand the legend/myth of where my family is from.


But if you mean first official bought scorpion then a P.imp at around age 16.

 

[H. laoticus]

I've always wanted one as a kid, but couldn't afford it and such. Got my first Heterometrus petersii at age 19. Collection grew as I was able to pay and house them in my apartment. Quickly got a second one, then 2 P. cavimanus, then 2 H. arizonensis haha.
