scorpions are cool, but even with the stinger gland removed, they will sting you and pinch you if you fuck with 'em so if you want a pet to get stoned with stick with the sugar glider, if you want a pet that looks bad ass in black light (a stoners best friends) get a emporer scorpion, they're cheapt o buy and raise, and to anyone considering getting any type of reptile as a pet PLEASE do your reasearch, they are alot more complicated than you think, everyone tells you usually all you have to do is keep water in the tank and feed them a mouse once a week but they are more complicated then that (snakes i'm talking about) and especially other reptiles, such as iguanas, they have to have a very specific diet that is hard to maintain, and any reptile has to be taken WELL care of, i know reptiles, i've had more than 20-30 in my life (only been alive now 20 years, and reptiles for about 13 of that) and i've learned about them alot. they are cool, and magnificent creatures but extremely hard to maintain, and i feel bad for those fucker snake skinners/alligator skinners that skin them for their skin >.< an dif someone is to take on any life i feel they should be extremely aware of how to take care of them. and being repitles are hard to maintain a healthy life i really would like if everyone did their research before owning them, they may seem easy at the begining but i can absolutely promise there is no getting lucky and if you don't it will end up dying within a few months.
