Sweet... I never took any pics of the insects I've had, but I can at least say what I've kept...
1. Preying Mantis
2. Feeder Crickets
3. Jumping Spider
4. Wolf Spider
5. House Centipede
And, most recently,
6. Brown Mamorated Stinkbugs
I want to do Forensic Entomology at some point, even wrote a 12 page paper about it Freshman Year. (Other people were doing 5 pages about heroin, alchohol, or at best global warming- I did Forensic Entomology... :crazy02

Ohhh that is a really cool field Topazfyre. I just hope you have a strong stomach.
I have kept:
Wolf spiders
Jumping spiders
Praying Mantis
Walking Sticks
And several other varieties of bugs
I have no pictures as that was long ago in my youth. I do occasionaly keep a spider for a few weeks before I let him go. Outside lights and screen doors provide plenty of bugs (mainly moths) for feeding.

Mice! They taste so nice!
I've had indian stick insects, some spiky ones, giant african landsnails, worm farms and 'sea monkeys' (brine shrimp), all with the excuse that it was good for my boys when they were young! At the moment we've got this marbled mantis and a spider that surprised me by jumping into the bath with me

A very deadly creampuff.
Oh no, Allison! He/she's gorgeous! What happened?
I just had a Chilean surrendered to me (my first T) and he's not nearly as nice looking as yours, completely bald behind haha!
I also used to have a Mantis named Edwardo, but Edwardo layed eggs and had to be relocated. Plus hundreds of feeder crickets, Dubia roaches, mealworms, superworms, Phoenix worms...but I don't really count those as pets, they're groceries

No insects, only arachnids.
Nice scorpions. How venomous are they? I read somewere that the smaller the pincers are, the more venomous they are.

That's true in most cases, since they don't have big claws to subdue their prey.
These guys have mild 2/5, but their cousins down in Mexico have a 5/5 on the scale. :shrugs:

Are these type of scorpions the kind that glow in black light? If so it would make an awesome photo.

All scorpions glow under black light.
True, all scorpions do fluoresce under blacklight. In fact, even fossilized scorpions fluoresce under blacklight. Pretty cool little critters. Scientists are still trying to figure out why exactly the scorpion produces a compound that fluoresces under intense UV light.
