nice, thought they were pseudoscorpions but not sure, nice bugs. My family is extremly arachnophobic so not until at least college for me

thanks. pseudoscorpion got no tails / metasoma. luckly my parents didn't say anything i'm keeping those critters. they already know that i'm crazy 'bout bugs.
if u're not arachnophobic, why don't you try keeping one, emperor scorpion is the best for the beginner. (poisoning)

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

I want to try some small scorps but dont know what types to try. I visited a friend and he kept multiple kinds in really small enclosures with no heat it appeared no light, nothing. just a few decorations. Seemed really cool.

that would be because my family is EXTREMLY aracnophobic. my mom will drag me off my homework to deal with one common spider or house centipede. If the local midget bugs are scary to them then i think they'll have heart attacks if i brought in a tarantula or emperor scorpion. Plus almost no local dealers stock them. maybe when i go to university or afterward though...

as for the wood scorpions in the photo they have their tails curled in pretty tight so kinda hard to tell

if u wanna tropical species which is need higher humidity, i suggest Padinus imperator or Heterometrus spinifer. otherwise, desert species..,smeringus mesaensis or Hadrurus arizonensis.

As much as I shouldn't be, I'm scared of scorpions. And I'm a Scorpio!
