eeeeeeeeeewwww!

 

[revmdn]

Yeah, too scary for me :lol:

 

[PhilinYuma]

Love that scorp, Becky! Here, we don't have to buy them. We just shake our shoes over a plastic box every morning, before putting them on. We get all kinds of critters!

 

[ZoeRipper]

Oh lord Phil, that's scary.

Beckyl: I'd pee if I found those anywhere near my home.

Phil do NOT tell me that it's likely that those are in fact near my home, because I KNOW you were going to say that.

I've thought about getting a scorpion.

 

[yeatzee]

I've been entertaining the thought of getting a scorpian or two.... those glow in the dark ones my friend has fascinate me! Boy are they incredible when looking through a macro lens too!

Cheap to boot :lol:

 

[Ntsees]

Anything with stings and venom, I stay away from because there's that possibility.

 

[Katnapper]

You're a braver adventurer in getting new pets than me, Becky! I couldn't deal with something I'm afraid to handle... (besides fish) or that could bite or sting me. Scorpions are neat to look at, but I have an aversion of sorts to big hairy spiders.

You both should they're very easy to care for depending on species of course.

Great pictures I've been thinking for a while of getting back into Scorps.

No, this time you're in luck, Zoe, if the legend is true. The story goes that when St Patrick had cast all of the snakes out of Ireland, he flew to Oklahoma City and proceeded to cast all of the scorpions out of Oklahoma. Still, you can never be sure with legends, so you might want to shake yr shoes out, anyway!

A few weeks ago i caught a huge black scorpion. I was feeding it well all seemed to be good till one morning i went to check on her(it) and she had escaped!!! The lid was left cracked accidentally and she took that to her advantage. Have yet to find her but i hold out hope!

Huge black scorpion? Chase I don't know of any species of large scorpions in Florida lol...

 

[keri]

lol... see, I think the T is cute and fuzzy but the scorpion scares me a little!

Black per say,and bigger than the Centruroides vittatus Striped Bark Scorpion i have found in the past, it was this kind i think..... Centruroides gracilis. Found it in the keys so it could have been an invasive?!?

Could have been Centruroides gracilis they get around 3-4 inches which unless that is your term for 'large' is rather small lol.

All scorpions fluoresce under UV light. Had the pleasure of accompanying Phil on an AZ dune scorpion hunt this summer! The handful we caught, Phil, are all still alive and I've not managed to part with any of them aside from one I sent to Orin to photograph for his newer scorpion book.

Becky, you should hang on to your B. smithi until it gets it colors which it may begin to show a little bit after the next molt. Sometimes a pet bug can become more interesting to its keeper if it is given a themed home. A fake cactus and a plastic sombrero might fit in this case (Mexico species)!

Scorpions are awesome. I've always liked flat rocks because of their morphology and docile nature. Great ones for holding! One of my pet emperors died a few days ago.
