    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm kinda new at this whole bug keeping thing but finding myself very interested in scorpions, I'm looking for a good desert type scorpion to start me off, any suggestions?
I was looking at a Arizona bark spider.......then later found it was the most venomous in the USA :unhappy:
 
Thanks David, as i do more research i find that emperors are the usuall starting scorpion, but pet stores around here dint seem to keep them in stock or they seem very.....unhealthy.
how safe is ordering over the net, in terms of the scorpion arriving alive and well?
 
A desert Hairy would also be cool to start with as would an opistophtalmus sp.
Most of the native Florida scorps would make an easy pet. They just have a painful sting.
Any of the Pandinus species would make good pets . personally I like the red claw scorp or P. cavimanus.
The only Desert one I have mentioned are the desert hairys, hadurus sp.
 
thanks guys, i think i will go with a desert hairy or a tri color, maybe ill look into one of the shows in Columbus.
