Nice.

I really hope I can see some scorpions under UV this coming weekend. Leaving tomorrow afternoon until Sunday.

Thanks for these pictures. Makes me want to get a scorpion or two to keep as well. :)

Dude,

at one stage in my life I had 1500 of them - one of the most amazing creatures you will ever find and keep!

I like the way they move :D

Are there any legal aspects to keeping them with regards to certain species as with Tarantulas?

Burrowing scorpions (Opisthophthalmus species), Rock scorpions (Hadogenes species), Tree scorpions (Opistacanthus species) and a little species of scorpion called Uroplectes are protected.

Parabuthus species (thick-tailed) are not.

Most of these pics are of Parabuthus species.

Pretty sure Uroplectes are not protected.
