Just a reminder: Some of the most interesting, active, and communal scorpions can be found right here, in the states. C gracilis are my personal favorite, with C vittatus, the most common Buthid in the south,(found pretty much everywhere) running a close second. Beautiful scorpions are beautiful, but interesting scorpions are better. That's certainly not meant to defame the others..the variety in scorp families is just as diverse as tarantulas, if not more so. One of the longest scorpions, with the weakest venom, and known for being docile, is H troglodytes, the flat rock scorp. I got a female paucidens, the "olive keeled" flatrock, and she is docile, large, and doesn't hide like I've always heard they do. She's not a puppy, but she is very tolerant of my presence. I'm quite fond of her. I would be willing to bet your mom would take to one of those much faster then a tarantula or a pede..Check my photo thread in a few days, I'm going to hold her very soon<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
