Any idea where to get Scarabaeus species?

Hey guys! Lately I've been looking into the Scarabaeus species because of the intrigue from Ancient Egyptian lore. Also, I figured that as long as you give them a good long enclosure like a 20 gallon long, so they have room to roll around, they would probably be pretty easy to maintain. They like super arid environments and eat poo, so humidity wouldn't be much of an issue and my corgi produces food for them every day. :p 

Anyone know where to find any? Particularly Scarabaeus sacer?

these are sometimes rampant during summer where i'm at.. pesky little creatures that will crawl out of your toilet bowls, literally. much like a horror movie hahaha

You'll need a wetsuit, or seran wrap.


Go to a farm and dive like a beaching orca into the poo with your hands open.

Hahahahahahaha. Get the Dirty Jobs guy in on it.

lol at the beaching orca

And how exactly are you going to feed it?


.......I take that back. Don't tell me.
