Excellent Book for First-Time Scorpion Owners
This is a terrific book that I picked up from Amazon, it covers all the bases of owning and caring for your scorpion.The more interesting aspect of the book deals with scorpions and "stress", which isn't to say the mental kind, but how your scorpion deals with even minor changes to its environment.That section alone is incredibly insightful, and makes for great knowledge to have when taking care of your pet.

I'm by no means an expert, so I'll take the other reviewers on their word that there are some minor flaws with the book.But as a scorpion owner, I thought this was an excellent primer and a must-have book.

Very informative!
I bought this book just to get some basic information, since the female scorp. I bought at the pet store had babies last year....and I didn't expect so much information!I love it!Very glad I bought this book, the author is great, humorous in some areas, and very easy to read!Buy this book, you won't regret it :)

All you need to get started
This is an excellent starter book and also has more in-depth information than what is required for simple husbandry (e.g. the section on breeding has what appear to be good suggestions and lots of factlets).Although it may have some inaccuracies, it would seem that this book alone is sufficient to get one started in raising the suggested (beginner) scorpions - not that one shouldn't seek more information, but we just purchased a couple Emperor scorpions and so far, the book has covered everything we appear to need.Photos and diagrams are excellent!

THE BOOK for those new to scorpions
Despite a few inaccuracies and errors described elsewhere by another reviewer, this book will offer anyone new to keeping scorpions or who is curious about these most remarkable of animals an easy to read offering covering many diverse aspects of scorpions.
For those interested in keeping scorpions in captivity with little or no experience, this book should be considered a must read (along with "The Biology of Scorpions" by Gary A. Polis), as it offers a great deal of general information and care and maintenance information in an easy to read format for layperson and advanced keeper alike.
I'd recommend this book (and have dozens of times) to anyone with even a passing interest in scorpions.

Product Description
A jewel-toned hummingbird is poised elegantly at a flower, seemingly motionless even as its purring wings trace perpetual figure eights. Ounce for ounce the Hercules among birds, yet small enough to get lost in a teacup, hummers spend their days tirelessly darting between flowers, probing for calorie-rich nectar with their needlelike bills. Whether viewed as animated energy or nature's still life, no two organisms are more perfectly suited to each other than hummingbirds and flowers. In Hummingbirds 2001, celebrate one of nature's most successful partnerships as world-renowned wildlife photographers chronicle this harmonious marriage between bird and blossom. ... Read more
