Should I keep a scorpion as a pet, or is it a bad idea?
Scorpions are mostly “display pets”—they’re nocturnal, solitary, and not meant to be handled, so most activity happens at night. This section helps you self-screen quickly (who it’s for vs. who should skip it) and highlights what new owners get wrong, especially escape risk and assuming “tameness.” It also lays out a simple decision framework in this scorpion pet decision checklist, including legality, enclosure security, and a sting/escape plan.
