Ok, ive been keeping T's for a while now, but I really want to get a scorpion as well. Ive kept more advanced T's (pokies, haplos, blondis etc), so Im not stranger to meeting requirements.
That being said, Im not going to go out and buy an LQ as my first scorpion. Heres what Im looking for:
Decent Size
Stinger rather than crusher (i want to see it sting the crickets it eats and such)
prefer desert (i just like the look of a desert tank more)
would like it to be visible sometimes (i know thats up to them, just something that tends to be more visible than others.)
I dont plan on holding it, I dont plan on taking it out ever except for cage cleanings and even then ill spot clean unless i need to clean it all out.
Any suggestions? Also when you reply if you could please just refer to those things i listed and how the scorp fits in? I really just don't want to rush into it without knowing anything about them really.
I've been leaning towards Hadrurus Spadix or Arizonensis, if people want to recommend which is better of those two, since i heard both can reach about 5" maybe 6" for large ones, and they sting but arent considered dangerous for a healthy (non allergic) human.
