Yes its personal preference and people can like one more than the other if they choose. We all know animals are what they are, and we like them for what they are. And people like different things about differnet animals.
Well, you don't see many scorpions or tarantulas keeping monkeys as pets. We buy and sell them everyday, and assign prices to them according to "worth", and I assume you endorse this system of judgement, unless you don't own any scorpions or t's in which case you don't belong on this site anyway. I think arachnids in general are very cool, but come on, they don't even have vertebral columns, much less higher brain function; and after this absurd outburst, I'd venture to say the same for you. Get off your soapbox and leave the guy alone, because frankly I think everyone will agree with me when I say your opinion is garbage.
Anyway, I'd be very interested to see an arachnid that has any earthly f***ing idea what a monkey is, or that can distinguish one by sight, for that matter, you moron.
Hi Sevenrats!
i prefer ts because
1. i really like the way they move - way more sophisticated than any scorp
2. i like to see my pets. so i don't have any obligate burrowers and i don't keep scorps. properly kept scorps just hide too much...
3. optics: ok, those tails and pincers are cool. but i don't like scorp eyes - they look a bit as if decapitated, whereas ts do not. i guess it's the chelicera.
OMG, I D T! don't H8 me 7R@s! (ROFL) BTW I don't keep S's so mayb I don't appreciate them as appropriately as I should. I'm thinking about getting some emperors though because of the whole blacklight thing, which IMHO is the coolest thing about scorps.
what are you getting butthurt for?
The same way people can prefer chunky peanut butter over smooth. One can appreciate the variety of peanut butter available to the average consumer at a grocery store, yet still develop a soft spot for one type. It's through the magic of the opinion.
