[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 133168, member: 4086"] Hadogenes troglodytes or Hadogenes paucidens, the olive keeled flat rock scorpion. My personal favorite. Weak venom, mine gets a little pinchy though when she's in a bad mood. Dry species, clay/sand and lots of rocks, they're happy. My big female eats pretty regularly, and is rarely caught drinking. They hide. She likes to sit under a narrow ledge in the hunting/ready position, just showing the tips of her claws. I've handled her several times, and she's pinched me a few times. Nothing bad but they have a strong pinch. It startles you. She's never shown the slightest inclination to sting me. I need to get a few more..they are the epitome of low maintenance, and while mine does hide in her two favorite spots, she comes out occasionaly, as long as the room is quiet and still. Couldn't recommend them more. [/QUOTE]
