Scorpion vs Tarantula

Someone had to do it.

omg, I was scared this was going to be a youtube video with them fighting. I hate those videos so much!

I would have to say scorpion. The tarantula IS pretty sweet but....just isnt as cool as a scorpion....end of hehehehe

diddo

it depends on which scorp and which T really doesnt it, n yea i hate those vids too but i did see one where it was deathstalker vs alot of things, T was last one the T killed it then died cuz the L.Q stung it in the head

Scorpion kills tarantula. Tarantulas are bad fighters.

it would still defend on what scorp and what T if you put an emp with a goliath id put my money on the goliath

Is this a "what do you prefer" vs. or "who would win in a deathmatch" vs.?

The first, it used to always be scorps, but Ts are really growing on me.

The second, if a tarantula gets even a minor wound, it's screwed.

i prefer scorps but i still stand by it would depend on species ill do a more extreme example, Euscorpius flavicaudis is a tiny species vs Theraphosa blondi i have to say Theraphosa blondi would win becuase of the pure power, it may die after, or have legs disabled but i think the T could kill it fairly easily

It's everythng about a scorpion vs everything about a T

Skills, abilities, presence, fighting...

ahhhh, id say as a generalisationa scorp is a better fighter hands down

a t probs has more presence, well the lrager species anyway

and skills and abilities i think is a bit even

Whatabout the fact that all scorpions are brown or yellow?

Damn it Venom stop trying to bring AB here. This is SF most people here prefer scorps over t's except for maybe ...hmmm....of the top of my head... RedKnee,

We are a gang.
We take over other's turfs.

Eddy, you know me too well, YES i do preferr T's over scorpions and any other invert at that plus over any reptile and so on, lol
Scorpions are cool as hell and wish i had more scorpion species, especially more Centruroides sp. But T's are far most a bigger part of my heart of interests, to me they have a more of a personality


here is my 2 cents on fighting T's with scorpions:
I think it is just wrong, like dog fighting

thanks

I'll be the traitor. I definitely think a Tarantula could inflict enough mechanical damage to incapacitate the Scorpion before the venom took effect.

And tarantulas do have more personality.

Tarantulas look too fragile.

You've obviously never seen a T. blondi stomp across a cage and then hiss at you.

I had a G.Rosa and was scared to hold it just because I though I'd break it.

And their cat like walkign doesn't help.

T's are more fragile compared to a scorpions, especially when is omes to shipping them cuz they don't have the hard extoskeleton like scorpions
BUT, i still have to go with T's by far

And they all have the same silohuette

I have, I was impressed, and I picked it up. You can ask Robert. Right now My t's outnumber my scorps 6 to 1 so I'm officially a T man for a few months. I gotta admit they're starting to grow on me but they are really fragile. And they're defenses are kinda lame(IMO). I have an unknown T from mexico that loves to kick hair at me, it doesn't even faze me. My H. gigas just hides in it's burrow (and only eats if the food goes down there), A.seemanni never comes out of it's hide and hasn't ate for months, Don't get me started on G. roseas. I love the colors on the tiger rump but again it just hides in it's burrow.

Never been much of a cat person.
