Anyone into scorpions,
I've got 8 of the little gangsters at the moment, very interesting little buggers.

Anyone actually into collecting them?

Cheers

i don't but thats pretty cool.

what do you feed them? i would be tempted to breed mice just to watch the scorpions kill them

their only aussie scorps so they don't get too big, not big enough for a mouse, but i feed em crickets, little wolf spiders, shit like that

Cool. I used to keep scorpions, dung beetles and geckos when I was young, just caught from the bush. Now I just have tropical fish.

Where do you buy your scorpions from, and do you need a license?

Petshop (expensive), www.thegreenscorpion.com.au (alot of good info on there) or you go bush and catch the bastards. No licence needed, as long as your not catchin for commercial sale.

I think threatening with the actual scorpion would be more effective, the Urodacus yaschenkoi their desert scorps, I can't touch them, they're nuts , they'll charge at ya, so I'd just chuck em at people.

in south africa we had fat tail scorpions which could kill pretty much anything. And they only strike once and are pretty lazy, but we had some smaller black ones, wernt really smaller just "lower" and had a smaller tail, they were way more aggressive and striked a couple of times and could still kill.
