First, I am thinking mostly of a desertic, dry enviroment specie. It doesn't need to be communal, it will be kept alone. I'm thinking about and Androctonus Australis, I find their massive tail so impressive, but I find that they are a little too common. I got a list of available species to choose from.

As an owner of a G. rosea for the past 7 months, I had thought of moving on to the next level in arachnid keeping, therefore scorpions. My main requirement is a species that can be comfy and thrive on room temperature without additional heating like a heat mat or a heat bulb. I don't really have a preference towards a species that requires much humidity or one that likes it dry like my G. rosea. And since I don't plan on handling the animal (I don't even handle ...
