Well, if adult size isn't a priority, Liocheles australasiae are awesome. Note: these are parthenogenic and max at 1". Mine will take nymph S. lateralis and pinhead crickets. At 3/4" mine WILL NOT scavenge, only live prey. This might be the only drawback of keeping them.

Adult size is no priority of mine
I actually prefer the little guys lol these seem cool but the turn off on flat rocks is they're tail lol. I love the thick tailed so. But these mini Mis seem cool lol little tanks

Very little space required. Mine are in 2"X2"X4" acrylic enclosures made from scrap.

California has the most scorpion species and sub species in the US. Not sure of the exact count but 54 is a figure listed.

is there a link, site, page that would kinda map these out? ive "googled it many times" and can only find little stories about people rarely spotting one on a hiking trail or something, nothing that tells me where I can commonly search or what types we have etc...
simply doing a search on scorps in so cal all I get is the desert

How about this? http://www.azscorpion.com/calif.html

(Edit: sorry, that's not a map, but a list of species in CA)

A lot of people are guarded about their spots. The guy on angelfire does list a lot of localities which will get you a start when hunting particular species. BugGuide helps too.
