I got a bit of a problem (kinda)

Ok, so i ordered a desert hairy which came alive and well. But to my surprise, it wasnt a desert hairy but a Androctonus australis! Its a real neat scorpion and i plan on keeping it, but hot damn, thats a serious mix-up. Unfortunately i don't have my camera, but when i do ill be sure to send some pictures so you guys can see.

Watch out for reptile city haha!

hahaha well...you got the good end of the deal...just keep your fingers well clear of it!!
andro's are pretty neat scorps

You lucky dog

I'm gonna go order a Desert Hairy from them now

Nice deal who did you order it through?

Don't you guys have a few desert hairy out there in Tucson.

I bought it on www.reptilecity.com

And i believe we have desert hairys out here, but ive never seen one, they're pritty hard to find in the wild. And if your ever in the tucson area, look up a petshop called tropical kingdom, they have some great scorpions that they actually take care of. Dont see that too often.

that would be awsome. I wouldn't mind getting that mixup myself.

C-kor just dont stick your hand into its cage for some time untill you know its temper and knows it ways to react.. use long forceps and just dont get stung

You positive on that ID? I could be a pallidus morph. Pics pics pics!!

connie,
I think he would end up with a little more then an ouchie:lol:

Yeah he'd have a very ouchie ouchie!

haha, thanks for the concern all, but trust me, ive been treating this scorp with all due respect. Hopefully ill get my camera soon so i can have yall look at it. Although, im about 99% sure that it is indeed a fattail.

Interestingly though, in all my research i found this thread =http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=37015 to my surprise i had the same situation!
