Scorpions: Everything About Purchase, Care, Feeding, and Housing (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) Paperback – January 1, 2008

This might very well be THE best book on choosing and caring for scorpions in captivity for hobbyists - especially for beginners.As the book states, scorpions are not "pets" - they do not love you or demonstrate affection for you. You cannot pet them. Handling them should be done rarely if ever. You also have a real responsibility not only to care for the creature for many years to come, but also to protect it from the public. And to protect the public from it - and from its possible progeny - as well.Once the introductory formalities are out of the way, the book outlines how to identify what you have, and set up habitat and care for your scorpions properly.This book helped me to put a lot of things in perspective and to determine that my reasons for wanting to keep a scorpion, and my willingness to follow through, were in place.I'll be preparing a place for a new Emperor this weekend, and will count on this book to help me get situated with my new scorpion - to respect it and to give it what it needs to thrive while in my care.

I have been keeping scorpions for over 10 years now, and in my opinion this is the best and most informative pet scorpion book available.
