I just got back from house sitting for some people and while I was there I would see at least one scorpion in their pool in the morning.They were all about an inch long(I am asumming they were adults)any way they were all dead when I got them out :( So an inch long and very light tan color but with very dark pedipalps.Any idea what they might be?

Some variety of Centruroides species most definitely. Possibly vittatus

Well I did preserve them in alcohol but they didn't have any jar around so I put them in a plastic ziplock bag with the stuff and the next day it had somehow sprung a leak.They wern't exactly in the best shape after that so,I just dumped them out :( Once I get my portable black light I will go and try to catch some and get some good pics.
