Yea, it is.Thats still a pretty general question lol
LOL.There is really no challenge unless you try to breed a difficult species. As long as proper husbandry techniques are used the challenge is small
Ah, interesting.The biggest problem i had with scorpions in the begining was grapping them by the metasoma and not be afried of them.. wich i normaly only do when i have to move them or something.. but i have overcome that and now i really dont care..
LOL.
So you're saying NOTHING at all is challenging keeping a pet scorpion? Taking care of it is as easy as picking up a feather? Sure it may be easy for you, but what about cleaning the tank? Feeding it? Breeding it and what not? What's the HARDEST thing about keeping a pet scorpion?
There may not be nothing challenging about it because everything about taking care of the scorpion is easy and small, but out of ALL those small little things, WHICH is slightly more difficult? I'm not sure if you even understand what the question is...
Ah, interesting.
Well if you're keeping a scorpion and taking care of it, and unless you're a scientist doing experiments on it and stuff, then it's considered an "exotic pet"I whouldnt call it a pet, because a pet is like a hamster you can pet and stuff like that.. cant pet a scorpion and if you do it wont like it.. hobby animale whould be better.. and for most species scorpions they aint that hard to keep, Heterometrus and Pandinus is pretty hardcore and dont really care that much if they soil dries out or its abit too wet.. even when they are 2 instar or so.. what goes for food they will eat anything.. when you run over some of the more interesting species yeah they might be abit harder to keep.. but most scorps aint that hard.. but if you need to breed on them then we can talk about needing the right temp and stuff like that.. there is abit of a tricky part..
Guess you may have a small point, but people do care for scorpions affectionately. I guess they're considered more "exotic" pets.http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pet
any domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately.
i whouldnt call a scorpion either domesticated or tamed
and its me expressing myself saying I whouldnt call it a pet.. and that I belive its wrong because I dont think its a pet more a hobby animale, if you call it a pet it sends out a wrong image of the scorp, like a L.Q thats not a pet thats a pet that chould kill you, Yeah a dog can kill you too, or a horse but does animales can be tamed and is easier to control, yeah there is pictures of ppl holding L.Q's or having them in they mouth or what not, that just makes ppl in my eyes stupid. The most poisoned species i keep i dont touch or grab, i use a plastic container to move them if needed.. dont want to take a risk of getting nailed by one of them..
Cleaning the tank? Well, with desert species I seldom ever do that. With tropical species I keep Isopods in their tanks which pretty much keeps uneaten remains cleaned out which keeps mites in check.So you're saying NOTHING at all is challenging keeping a pet scorpion? Taking care of it is as easy as picking up a feather? Sure it may be easy for you, but what about cleaning the tank? Feeding it? Breeding it and what not?
