I also reacted too fast when replying to this post, however I think this post is rather pointless... Is it just to "trick" members and to see how they would react? or are you just posting this for kicks???

Its as bad as the image on page 35 of the Tarantulas and Scorpions Their Care In Captivity book.

For those of you that don't have the book it shows a cage setup making use of backdrops. Within the tank a scorp and a T are housed togther. :?

Nice try

Years ago my drinking buddies wanted to put my B. smithi and my Emp. Scorp in the bathtub and takes bets on which would win.

Needless to say, I declined.

I think it had something to do with a Clint Eastwood movie where people were betting on exotics in a tank (rattler & mongoose, cobra & mongoose) can't really remember.

Still a little curious though.............in the wild who would win??

Whoops! You are correct.
Mexico and Asia are an awful distance apart, not to mention an ocean to cross

Depends on the scorpion and the spider I'd guess. I mean if it were a little vaejovis vs. pterinochilus, I'd lay bets on the OBT, but if it was a hadrurus vs. aphonopelma I'd bet on the scorpion, if only because it could fend of the tarantulas attacks with its claws, all the while stinging the poor spider to death.

Statements like this make me think this would be a successful online business providing gambling and live battle feeds.

Yeah, you probably would is the sad thing. I didn't really mean I'd gamble on it, more like what I would expect the outcome to be. Forgive me arachnoboards?
