My scorpion died last year.I called him scorp. Short for scorpio, short for scorpion.(original huh?) I forgot his real name. I rescued scorp from a lady who tried to starve him to death rather than let him loose outside. She said "he wouldn't die." Her thinking was rational in her sense. Scorp ate crickets. Hard for me because I won't even kill a fly, so I left the feeding to other half. When the choice came down to it, we had none. It was feed him or else...

Chatty, I don't mind snakes but I really couldn't handle watching that little mouse at mealtime either.
