My cousin might give me his :) Could someone give me some basic info on them? I've read care websites but how 'bout some hands on experience?
 
my buddy had one. i know there toxcicity is low, they're the largest scorpion around, and since it's popularity they are now on the endangered list... they like to burrow and will eat termites, ants, meal worms, mice, crickets, lizards, and cockroaches. GL
 
they are very easy to take care of and have a cool shock factor to friends and are generally very friendly to handle. just throw a few crickets in a week ad that is about it. also, if you keep them under a blacklight, the glow teal but you can't have them like that all the time or they will stop eating.
 
thanks and yes, a 10gal is plenty for one.

1 in a 10 gallon dont put 2 in or they will fight to the death
