I would'nt like to rate a specific spp. as my favourite, but currently my favourite genus is Centruroides. Love the attitude and the coloration :drool: Looking forward to aquire more spp. of this genus when the shipping temperatures rise.

The Androctonus scorps are my favorite, then the centruoides. I really like the A. Bicolors right now. Pretty soon I'll have about 200, then I may focus on another species, but these guys are way cool.

I am in love with the parabuthus scorpions. Every facet of a scorpion is very well displayed in this genus i think. i like the black variants of androctonus. some tityus and centruroides are cool as well.

Heterometrus all the way!

sleek to broad claws, aggressive disposition, and weapons to match it, AND they look beautiful!

Hard to pick a favourite. I suppose it would have to be Smeringurus mesaensis. Such a graceful looking species but with the attitude of a serial killer! Opistophthalmus species would have to come a very close second.

I pick Androctonus and Parabuthus as my favorite 2 genus. I will give honorable mention to Babycurus and Centruroides. :cool:

Compsobuthus werneri werneri, I've haven't kept these for very long and from the the behavioural aspect they aren't particularly interesting, but they look great, defintely my favourite looking scorpion.

My favourite looking are the Hottentotta franzwerneri.
On terms of behaviour I'd go for the Centruroides genus

Yeah hottentotta is not my favourite genus but this one and H.Judaicus are beauty's. It is very hard to see the difference between these 2 species.
Am not familiar with the behavorial display in the centruroides genus, What kind of behavior do you mean, in wich this genus stands out?

Liocheles sp. would be a dream, but until then I quite enjoy my Opisthacanthus and Cheloctonus. On the Buthid side I am a big fan of Tityus. I would also love to see an Anateris sp. in person ... no fulcra!

Cheers,
Dave

Smeringus mesaensis. I think they're so beautiful. I like Heterometrus spinifer, too.
