| Awesome!!  I almost had a chance to get one, but when the USDA thought I was keeping phasmids, I thought better of it. Just don't get "scissored" by those hind legs of hers. I've seen videos of them in defense-mode. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blogBe nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

Are you not allowed to keep them? |
Nah we can't keep any non-native walking stick here. I had a chance to get some too but it was early in the hobby for me and I wanted to drop the money on an Androctonus I saw there. |

| As Andrew said, the US won't let you keep walking sticks that aren't native to your state without lots of permits -- and then, only if you're an organization, not an individual. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blogBe nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

Thats gash likes! over here your allowed pretty much every phasmid out there (probably cause they wouldnt survive over here.) What i dont get tho is how your allowed desert scorps from africa but theyde probably do pretty well in the south western deserts, its probly cause a lot of phasmids are parthenogenic and so would have no problem multiplying.
