Looking to expand my collection some and looking for inspiration on species I may be overlooking.
Currently have H.silenus, H.longimanus, H.hottentotta x2, P.orchraceus, A.australis, A.bicolor,, C.margaritatis, C.gracilis, T.stigmurus, LQ, and 2 N.whitei

What do you guys consider to be ones you will always keep? Emps and H.franzwerneri are on my list. What else should I keep?

Get some more US natives dude. Anuroctonus, Paravaejovis, Paruroctonus, Smeringurus, Superstitionia, and Diplocentrus all have a lot of good stuff to offer. I especially like

Paruroctonus silvestrii
Anuroctonus pococki (phaiodactylus has the same personality theyre just a bit smaller)
Paravaejovis spinigerus
Superstitionia donensis
Smeringurus mesaensis

P. imperator and H. arizonensis. The two I started my collection with in the very beginning.

Probably the scorpio marus palmatus, The burrows they dig are no short of amazing and when you do see them it's a special treat as you probably see them 10% of the whole time you have them if you have their setup right

I thought real Gigantometrus weren't available in the hobby almost at all. Where are you from that you are getting them??

They are rare, but I used to own a pair. They're definitely around.

I know nothing about scorpions.... but Ive always wanted an Emperor.... cause they are docile.
