I just got a few new scorpions to add to my collection. I don't have pics of them yet because I need to get my moms camera but here is what they look like.

I got 3 Centuroides Exilicauda (Arizona Bark Scorpions) The largest is about 1.5" long (tail extended) and the other 2 are about 1"

mostasteless · 11-19-2005, 05:12 PM

4 Centuroides Gracilis (Florida Bark Scorpions), they are from Brazil and considerably more venomous than the ones you find in Florida, all just over 1" in length.

2 Hottentotta Trilienatus (Tanzanian 3-lined Bark Scorpion), both about 1/2" long, and 1 that neither I or the guy I got it from can ID. It is only about 1/4" and just way too small to even guess. Today is a happy day

**TROLL** · 11-19-2005, 05:14 PM

are they really only a half inch (1/2'') big lol? or do u mean ft? anyway thats crazy you have scorpions for pets i could never

Troll: Those species are communal so they can share a tank with the same species, as long as they are all roughly he same size, are given plenty of hiding places and food, if not cannibalism is not uncommon. These guys are in ziplock storage containers with substrate bathroom cups cut in half for hides for right now because they are still young and I want then to be able to find their food easily and it make it much easier to regulate temp and humidity (very important until they are fully grown). When I get the camera I will post pics of my other species tanks.

Gorilla: Yes they really are that small, when fully grown the Arizona Bark and 3 lined scorpions should reach 3", the Florida barks should reach around 4", and I have no clue how large the mystery scorp will reach, but judging by its current size I would guess around 2-3"

**TROLL** · 11-19-2005, 11:33 PM

believe me, when you run into one of these little guys out in the wild, 2" is plenty big... ha. i've had a few run ins, but no problems.
and i dont know how you'll feel about this but i actually ate a friend scorpion at a night market in beijing. i guess it wasnt poisonous cause i'm still here..

All scorpions are venomous, but none are poisonous. So you can ingest the venom with no ill effects, just don't get stung

Here are some pics of my setups. This is the tank I keep my Emperor in.

mostasteless · 11-20-2005, 02:51 PM

mostasteless · 11-20-2005, 02:53 PM

Scorpions are of the Arachnid family, so resemblance isn't rare.

I love scorpions, I just have an overall fear of being stung and the possibility of being allergic to the venom.

If you are careful you don't need to be worried about being stung. I have been keeping scorpions for about 10 years now and have never been stung.

You could also look into getting an emperor, they are easy to find, big, scary looking, and their venom is practically harmless. The worst allergic reaction I have heard of from one was swelling in the hand and a tingly feeling up the arm and both went away in a couple hours with the only treatment being a cold compress. Unfortunately they are not very active and spend most of their time hiding.

Its a whipscorpion, its looks more like a spider than a scorpion but it has claws and no fangs. http://www.everythingabout.net/artic..._whipscorpion/

mostasteless · 11-20-2005, 04:25 PM

I figured out the manual settings on the camera so here are a few pics, unfortunately one burried itself so I wasn't going to bother it fot a pic. This is the larger Arizona bark.

mostasteless · 11-20-2005, 04:26 PM
