Ok what should I tell you?
Tarantulas
Tarantulas are a primitive spider that have both book lungs and a trachea unlike many true spiders. Their venom is very primitive so it rarely causes much harm and there have been almost no allergic reactions to tarantula venom. New World tarantulas have a patch of uriticating (itching) hairs on their abdomen that have a small coating of venom on them and when flicked off they enter the skin and cause you itching and sometimes pain. Males often live only a few weeks past their ultimate molt and their only purpose in life is to mate after that. Some males have hooks on the front pair of legs that are used in mating and making the sperm web. Females will mate numerous times in their long life which can exceed 30 years. There are arboreal and ground-dwelling tarantulas. Anphopelma is a good example of arboreal tarantulas. Almost all Brachypelma are terrestrial. Tarantulas range from one inch to over 11 inches in size but mostly terrestrial only reach this. You can sex a tarantula by looking at the molt. If there is a clear flap of skin in between the white book lungs that is the spermatachea and it is a female. Males completely lack this.
Sorry about that. I didn't see it was scorpions. Besides I don't know too much about them.

The deathstalker may have the most potent venom drop for drop but the african fattailed scorpions are the most dangerous and have resulted in the most deaths.

If so then yes your right they do cause more deaths then any other scorpion species and IMO probly the most dangerous scorpion in the world but the most deadly is L. Quinquestriatus. Neither one should be kept by novice keepers. |

I will make some caresheets if they can be stickys. If a caresheet is in a caresheet board then they will not be removed unless a more updated one comes along or if we find out the information is so wrong that it can not be edited easily. And we have included a caresheet board to this section so just post any caresheets there. So there is really no need to make any particular caresheet a sticky. If the administation does not see any reason for it's removal it is not going to go anywhere unless the author requests it. In general all the caresheets will be treated equally though. |

Okay what I will do is make a topic in the caresheet section called scorpion caresheets and I will post different caresheets for different species instead of makeing a topic for each one.
