Flat Rock Scorpions

Anyone keeping Flat Rock Scorpions (Hadogenes troglodytes)??

I got one tonight(an early birthday present from my girlfriend)

I think I'm going to get an Emporer or Red Claw next, and who knows from there. Boids are still #1 on my list, but I'm addicted to Scorpions already, heh.

Good for you - Again I've worked with them but thats it!

Those guys are really cool - a bigger sting than an emperor though..

In case u don't know, those guys can sting from the side of their body - don't stick ure hands in his hides spot cause he will get ya!

Amazing guys though

Congrats!

(I wish I had a gf who bough me animals for my bd -

No pics yet Linds, but I'll be sure to post some when I get some. I wondered if you got a scorpion, I saw your posts awhile back on the InsectHobbyist scorpion forum.

Dom, so far he/she hasn't shown much interest in stinging. They are known to be a lot like Emporers when it comes to reluctance to sting. It always shows its claws first as a defense. I don't plan on holding it much or at all anyway, I'm happy just to own them mostly for look and not touch.
