its not just pet shops that house there herps like that , ive seen some pretty bad set ups at well know breeders that would make you never buy from them again
Whats wrong with leaving a shed in the tank for a few days?
Hi ZOOJAS. I drew that conclusion because Black Rock Scorpions are territorial and don't get kept communally. The only way for a captive bred female to get pregnant is for a male to be introduced to a female (with the keeper ready to snatch him away when things get ugly). Why would a breeder go to the trouble of introducing the male, possibly risking its life, just to sell her to a pet shop? Which sounds more likely, One of the few people in Australia who cares enough about invertibrate conservation to go to the hassle of breeding them, selling off a pregnant female? Or a guy at a pet shop wanting to make a sale from a rube who seems interested? That is my reasoning.so what your saying is because it had babies it MUST of been wild caught ? how did u come to that conclusion?

lol , why couldnt the pet shop not knowing all of the above just put 2 scorps together [ not knowing] just to save space or what ever, they mate - one kills the other . dead one gets taken out ..... thats another spin on it .. lolHi ZOOJAS.

Now your just clutching at straws lol. But seriously they new what they were doing. All of their animals were in good conditions, the scorpions were doing well. They even had a care sheet that said they shouldn't be kept communally. Also if they cared enough to look for a captive bred source, I'm sure they would ask or the breeder will tell them important care details. Finaly the shop is located in prime Black Rock Country. Again which is more likely, a person who cares enough about their conservation to breed them successfully omitting an important detail like this, or they just walked the 400 metres to yoink a few out of the wild and lied to the well meaning rube.lol , why couldnt the pet shop not knowing all of the above just put 2 scorps together [ not knowing] just to save space or what ever, they mate - one kills the other . dead one gets taken out ..... thats another spin on it .. lol
