I figure the scorpion would sting and kill the anole before it could eat it. But I do not know this for a FACT.  |

The best way we ever found to control scorpions was a small flock of pet mallard ducks. They never hesitated to eat scorpions! -- Peace, Om Remove extra . to validate e-mails.

Scorpions _are_ "bugs"! Really? I thought they were an invertebrate, some kind of crab-type creature. Guess I'll have to look them up. But not right now, got stuff to do. Cindy |

G (kidding, kidding... don't anyone get all spun up) -- Mike Harris Austin TX Not a joke actually... ;-) When I was a Sophomore in College, I used to collect some of the "local" scorpions as pets. One of the females had babies and like scorpions do, she carried them on her back. I tried to provide them with food (baby mealworms) but the mother scorpion died. Her babies sucked her dry. Then the crickets I'd put in the tank to feed her ate the baby scorpions....... -- Peace, Om Remove extra . to validate e-mails.
