I was just wondering how all of 'you' first got involved in scorpion keeping?
For me it was thrust upon me...
There was this 16yr old I was friends with, and his parents said no way he was going to get a T, so he brings home an emperor instead. His mom and dad freaked, his dad took the tank and put it outside (no lid, crushed walnut shell sub, no hide, no water, late August mid 0°C/30°F that night) and was going to shoot it next day. This kid called me and asked if I wanted it, I never planned to own one and new nothing about keeping them, so I said sure.
A year and a half later I own 8 scorpions and plan on getting more...
So how about you, what possessed you to own scorpions?
PS: That original one is still alive and possibly gravid.
