      doesn't help for me cause my phobia is connected to the tingling feeling when they run up you leg... talking from bad experience that triggered it... weirdly enough I don't have a problem with videos bout spiders or even if they are simply out of my reach (not living in my flat).

    I’ve kept a LOT of scorpions before, including L. quinquestriatus.
    I’m thinking of going with Androctonus bicolor though. If this idea comes to fruition (and my lifelong hobby of keeping dangerous arachnids doesn’t kill me) I might make a video about it.
    It’s nice that Cliff is making videos about more beginner-friendly arachnids though! Always a treat to watch. 😊

I don't get to see them very often but they've been the hardiest and easiest of all the slings I've raised so far. Definitely not a species I'll likely go on to breed, the way I have with my widow spiders, but I'm really grateful I got lucky enough to keep one :)
