Scorpions come up all the time and are usually much cheaper than the online shops, I think there are two people on there now that are selling Emperor scorpions

Oh thanks I would take a look and wow your scorpion is green too!! i want a green one!! T_T

Whether or not it looks green depends on the ambient light. In strong daylight or if you use flash on your camera it comes out looking green, while if it's not too light then it looks shiny black It's a Heterometrus petersii (a Giant Asian scorpion) they have the same care requirements as emperor scorpions but are a bit more aggressive so no handling LOL.

Yay! I just purchased my scorpion from www.bugzuk.com He replied to my e-mail confirming that I would get it before friday! I can't wait for my first ever scorpion!! wow!!

A friend of mine called Gar Rees is setting up his spid shop in the next couple of weeks,

The website is nearly completed and will be

www.PredatorOrPrey.co.uk - should be on line in two weeks

However He does have some of his basic stock on our website...

He has mainly spiders at the moment but will be adding scorpions as time progresses.

Will be having at little peek at that then when he sets it up.

Sounds like a good plan oh and anyone know where Death Stalkers are available? I know i'm still inexperienced but just wondering where I could buy them in the future when I get more information and get into the hobby more

The spidershop has loads of species now as new stock has come in.

You won't be able to get a death stalker mate, or any other buthids for that matter because you live in the UK.

Look up DWA licences and you will see what I mean as you need to have one of those.
