I m surprised at how many Floridians have never seen scorpions in Florida. I ve been stung by them, several times, but you have to get outdoors in woodsy areas. They are also very small (we have cockroaches/Palmetto bugs that dwarf our scorpions). They are maybe, at most, 1-2 inches long, in my experience, although Florida does have bigger scorpions.I find them in rotten wood sitting on the sandy ground, most often. You might try the Little Big Econ State Forest (in Oveido, just outside Orlando) and just do some hiking and picking up some dead wood and dead palmetto leaves.The one issue you will have is with the weather. It may be a bit too cold in January for much reptile activity.
I have visited Florida many times and have never seen one. I ve lived in Georgia for a long time and visiting last year was my first time ever seeing one (it was in my Aunt s basement). So I would say your chances are very slim. But don t give up, if you are determined, you will find one. Do some research online, I m sure you can find something out.
Very unlikely seeing that there are no scorpions here.To wet here.
I ve lived in Florida almost 20 years I ve only seen one. it might be too cold in January for them to be very active. if you go looking, try more rural areas.good luck!
I live in Florida... and hour and a half from Orlando. The only scorpions I have ever seen were at pet stores.
WATCH OUT SCORPIONS!
