I just got a pair of scorpians

[Guest]

my young desert scopions get me all the time

 

[Whaa]

You've probably herd this but if you shine blacklight on scorpions they glow green! feaky stuff

 

[Brodie]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i just read the newspaper today and some spiders and all scorpians are protected animals...........and i can think of a better way to spend my money....so no more scorps for me

PS
Yea scorpians sting all the time.....can be painful!

 

[Guest]

do ya need a lisence for em thats dumb and yaeah that blacklight thing is cool

 

[Brodie]

yea u need a licence to collect them from the wild at least will ring parks and wildlife tomorrow.....

 

[Guest]

dont ring cause then they might go great idea and then there wil be lisences and i think the lisence is gust for ppl who collect and then sell them cause my dad was telling me he herd it on the news

[Guest]

[Brodie]

I encountered a scorpian the other day at Pt Gawler, about 40 k north of Adelaide. He didn't like being picked up but other wise was very quiet. I left him there as i don't no the laws regarding collection archnids in SA (if there are any) and didn't have the gear to transport him back. I'm going to do further research.

where can u buy scorpions and do u need a lisence for them?

 

[zoe]

u can buy them at pet/reptile stores down here...call me dumb but arent they poisonous? lol im guessing not...

<insert bagging zoe comment here>

 

[Brodie]

umm in NT you need a permit for them...and as far as I know zoe no scorpians native to oz can kill you

 

[Pinkie]

They can sting you though, can't they?

 

[Brodie]

yea! it hurts quite a bit..also My hand was pretty swollen for a while

 

[Fuscus]

I THINK that you can legally collect them in SA, when I am sure it is legal I'll go and collect some and set up a colony under black light.
