    when and where is the best time to catch a scorpion?
    Question:
    i live in a town called cheraw, south carolina and i heard of scorpions being found in some homes and yards. i love scorpions and i would like to catch one or a few to have as a pet. so i would like to know when and where would be the best time to find one and catch it?

    Answer:
    I live near Cheraw, near Hartsville, SC. The only scorpion found in this area is Vaejovis carolinensis, a small, blackish-brown species, and they aren't common. Many people here in the South erronously refer to lizards, especially the Broadhead Skink, as "scorpions", and will argue with you till they're blue in the face that these animals are deadly! We do not, of course, have any venomous lizards in South Carolina. If you really want to find real scorpions here, be aware that they are small(often no more than one inch total lenth)and dark, and they are nocturnal. They tend to live in old woodpiles and underneath logs, and can be really hard to see. The best way to see them is with the use of a portable black light, at night, since all scorpions, no matter how small, will fluoresce bright blue-green under a black light. V. carolinensis is not considered a dangerously venomous species, but they are hot-tempered little buggers, and do pack quite a painful wallop for something so small, and their venom can cause a nasty headache that can last for several hours to a few days. I've been stung twice by this species, and it's not something I really would want to go through again.
