Here are pics of my very toxic scorps. I also have less venomous scorps but I guess I like to show these bad boys off lol

Androctonus bicolor (Black Fat Tail)


Androctonus australis (Yellow Fat Tail)


Parabuthus liosoma (Black Tip Thick Tail)


Parabuthus mossambicensis (Yellow Thick Tail)


Parabuthus transvaalicus (Black Thick Tail Spitter)
this one can spray venom

Niiice I didn't know you could even get fat-tails. Do you just order them, or do you have a permit or a license?

Thats a serious collection. Ever have any escapees?

Thanks for sharing.

I got these from www.Botarby8s.com and www.carolinaspecialtypets.com
There are several online dealers that sell these. I don't need a permit to keep them. I think Florida is about the only place that requires a permit to keep Buthids.

No I haven't. I keep them in secure enclosures. Like all scorps, they can't climb glass so they are real easy to manage. The A bicolor is the one that I worry about the most because it is extremely fast. It is as fast as many of my tarantulas.

I checked out that site and the prices are too reasonable. I don't think I can resist

I may put a small order together when I get home after the holidays. Are the scorps just in critter keepers with some peat/cocohusk as the substrate?

I used to be scared to death of bugs...

Believe it or not I had them in deli cups with dry peat for awhile. I was waiting for some sand to arrive. I now have them in small tanks with sand. Kritterkeepers work well too. I will try to post some fotos of the enclosures. They are very easy to keep as long as your careful.

I don't think I am going to go with anything 'dangerous.' I'm actually just planning on getting a few roaches and seeing if I can breed them for food (not my food, gex food ) , if I'm feeling risky I might throw in something else little.

With all these 'bugs' do you have any mantids?

Scorp's are definately on my list.

I have mantids since I was a kid. I raised some Chinese Mantids this Summer. They are now deceased but I have some egg sacs from them.
