Crim_nimora Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Me and some freinds went on a road trip and on the way we stopped in South Carolina (yay thats always fun :? ) and while their I found a scorpion that was about an inch long. Does anyone know what kind of scorpion I may have??? Also I cant find anything small enough to keep alive and feed to him yet, any suggestions?

ford_rule Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 here's a suggestion. let it go. trapping and keeping insects is cruel so set it free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Oh well with that description I can wittle it down to a good thousand possibilities :? Probably tens of thousands, given the number of species of scorpions out there. A picture or more accurate description might help.

Chris Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I hope you get stung. Keeping any wildlife is just wrong, it's more likely to die when it is being kept by someone who hasn't a clue what it even is. Far less how to feed it or what enviroment it needs.

Domestic pets we have now were once wild animals, we just kept them long enough... Wow PHD material right here... Yeah genius, it's still unfair to keep it, when he hasn't a clue what he's doing. We're a little bit more civilised now if you couldn't tell. :? Edit: Actually I'm sorry, I don't mean anything bad I say. I'm a jerk. :( Notoriously Trollish.

____ Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 :? Domestic pets we have now were once wild animals, we just kept them long enough... True, but people still knew what the heck they were and what to feed them and what not. Randomly going out somewhere and bringing back and aminal with no knowledge about what its diet consists of or what enviroment it needs to survive is downright stupid. @Crim_nimora: Post some pics of the scorpian some there might be something about its appearance which MIGHT help. And When / Where would probably be usefull aswell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Actually i just realised how dangerous keeping a scorpion that you just found is. Some of the most poisonous (ie. lethal) scorpions in the world are tiny. And does your capture have any scientific purposes? Ie. research. If not your best bet is just to release it, somewhere that looks like it's natural environment, far away from civilisation if possible.

Tomato Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 here's a suggestion. let it go. trapping and keeping insects is cruel so set it free. Good thing scorpions are arachnids then! Guess that means it's okay to keep it. :) Try buying feed crickets from any pet store...just get the smallest kind you can find. That should be small enough. I don't see anything wrong with keeping it, as long as he takes good care of it. Chances are the scorpion would get stepped on our something eventually anyways.

vladmoney Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yea let it go, it will probably die if you don't. Plus you don't want it escaping and biting you. Keeping domestic pets isn't cruel because all their life they have been exactly that. Unlike the scorpion who is actually used to the while, most domestic pets probably have long lost their tools to survive in the wild.

Kriegsmier Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'm from SC...lol and i like the "yay thats always fun"...LOL! There are no poisonous scorpions or dangerous scorpions in the state of SC. Their sting will only feel like a wasp or bee sting, however i must say that you should treat that insect with extreme care even if it isn't dangerous....because i am no biology major... Centruroides species, Vejovis species and Hadrurus species are only found in this part of the country, the more lethal scorpions are out in the southwest. I say keep it, try and grow it out... why should he release a scorpion into a different enviornment away from where he found it? That might just kill it faster wouldn't it? Pending his location. So you all are saying trapping and keeping a lizard from outside my backyard is wrong? What if i provide the enviornment for it? I have many fishtanks and keep wild caught fish....is that wrong? When i can provide a safer and cleaner enviornment than the wild? I disagree. Google is a great thing when you want to research. Find out about what they like to eat, where did you find it? Recreate its habitat the best you can. They feed on insects and smaller rodents. Aka crickets from a bait and tackle store would be good...

Crim_nimora Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 I found the scorpion in the bathroom...and it wasn't dieing there, and I really doubt it was adapted to living in a bathroom. Anyways, I got a domestic scorpion, and everyone told me scorpions aren't canibals....(stupidist sales person ever by the way) But the next day my domestic one (much larger) ate my smaller one... And thanks anyways for all the help...Kreigsmier And Auicroa, I was having server problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 This is nothing like me and [bleep]ey. You leave [bleep]ey out of this. Atleast I identified him as a hedgehog, found out feeding requirements, made him a shelter for the night and offered to take him to a rescue centre first thing in the morning (but he left in the night, recooperated). I cared for [bleep]ey. I had some idea of what I was doing. I didn't just "find" [bleep]ey on a "road trip" in "South Carolina" (Like that place exists..). I "rescued" [bleep]ey from a "certain death through drownage" in a sewer drain. There is absolutely, comprehensively nothing to compare between the two situations.

Actually I saved the little thing too....until he got eaten and all.... My freind wanted to kill it, (hes a pansy) so everyone locked him in a closet and hid the scorpion...then let him out the next morning :twisted: And I attempted to care for the scorpion, I gave it the smallest crickets I could find, and even tried to help him catch them. And I had gatherd the fact that it was a scorpion. If you find a stray dog in the middle of no where that looks like it will die, you wont just leave it because you dont know what breed it is will you? And knowing that all scorpions are carnivores it was just a matter of finding something small enough which I did. In the end the only problem was, that the big scorpion ate him... So now once again clarify the extreme differences, like how we both saved them, cared for them, knew basicly what they where, and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Judging from your initial post, you knew none of those things. Learn to make a constructive first post and people won't draw up parallels. It's still nothing like [bleep]ey and I. We had a special bond. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
