Will you keep scorpions as pets?

Scorpions are one of the cheapest pets. But will you keep a scorpion as a pet? Considering that you can't really remove the poisonous stinger. I know that I wouldn't because what if one day I will get sting by a scorpion just by holding it unless you keep it in a container forever.

ew! No ways will I even think of having a scorpion as a pet. Oh man! Even the thought of it brings goosebumps on my hands. For me the bet pet is a cat or a dog. I love both, but unfortunately I can't have both in my house at once. I wouldn't risk any life no matter what.

by the way, i don't see a point in keeping a pet in house in a container. There is no fun for it as well as you. it is better to not have something like that.

Then a pet fish or anything that breathes underwater have to be kept in a container full of water is not a pet for you.

For me, a fish is a different thing than a scorpion.

Why keep a pet that would likely kill you or someone else? Also it's not a pet but a decoration if you are just putting them in a container forever. A Pet is an animal like dogs and cats that you can love by playing with them and touching them like a normal should be treated.

Well you certainly can't take a fish out of a container. Does that mean that a pet fish is merely a decoration to you?

You have a point in that but fish are not poisonous and you can touch it without the feeling of being scared if it bites you.

No, I do not like scorpions, I do not think I would be wanting any of the type to be my pet. I would still prefer dogs as pets.

No way friend. No scorpions and snakes as friends. But i think some people like to keep poisonous creatures as their pets.I really wonder what makes them to have such interest.
