So, this will probably be the last poll of this type I make for a while since I already did an A. geniculata vs C. cyaneopubescens poll & an A. geniculata vs N. chromatus poll & the Genic won both. GBB is still under consideration even though it lost, but I'd say the N. chromatus is out of consideration, cool as they might be. I've finally narrowed it down in my head to these 2 choices. I could go for either A. An S. mesaensis (Arizona Dune Scorpion) Sub-adult ($18) + a .5"-.75" A. geniculata sling ($30) + large terrestrial sling cage kit ($11) + $70 shipping (w/ LAG) for a total of $129 from an out-of-state Oregon dealer or B. A 3.5" GBB Female ($210) + a 1.25"-1.5" P. cambridgei (freebie) + $35 shipping (w/ LAG & $15 less than out-of-state shipping) for a total of $245 from an in-state Ohio dealer. Currently I'm leaning slightly towards the S. mesaensis (Arizona Dune Scorpion) + A. geniculata sling cause 1. I like scorpions more overall and if I go Dune Scorpion + Genic I'll end up w/ 3 scorps 1 T total since I already own an H. arizonensis & P. spinigerus. 2. The overall price would be considerably lower. $129 vs $245. 3. While I think a P. cambridgei would be super cool I know they're generally considered more of an "intermediate" rather than "beginner" sort of T due to them being a rather fast arboreal + having more potent venom than your average NW even if not as bad as your average OW. This being the case, I am still ultimately split between these 2 choices & want to know you guy's thoughts on what inverts I should get next? Any help on making a decision would be much appreciated, thanks.
