thinking about a new scorpion

i have an emperor and i love it im thinking about getting a new scorpion i'm just not sure what to get any suggestions.

It all depends on what you're lookin' for. Desert Hairy is a good choice if you are lookin for something you may want to handle although they are a little more touchy than emps. You've got about 1500 species to choose from.

I've heard that desert harrys don't live past their first molt most times if you by them young from pet stores. That's the word at least. I reccomend a bark scorpion of some sort.

Big/small? Desert/Tropical, etc... Give us some criteria and then we can give you some suggestions.

You can also take a look at Choose your Scorpion Wizard

It's not a very extensive list but gives a few good suggestions.

as long as its not hard as crap to take care of n wont kill me. i'd go for sumthing on the bigger side but anything the gives me sumthing to do will work for me

Sounds like, H. arizonensis or any Heterometrus spp. could be an interesting choice for you.
Haddies are really easy to look after and pretty "maintenance" free. Hets need a bit more work as you need to maintain humidity, clean after feedings (to avoid mites), etc. And both get pretty big.

maybe something that stings its food would be cool too watch, emperors dont use there stinger but i love them
