Hi can anyone tell me if there is a bark scorpion that is not in the buthidae family please?
would love to own a species that would be out on bark, or simular, but all the ones i find are not legal in the uk without a licence, so any help would be appriciated ....thank you

Actually I haven't come across any and I really don't think there are any outside the buthidae family!

aw really want some ....is there anything kinda simular that would sit out more and climb kinda thing?

But if you want a barkscorpion, just order one Foreksample a Babycurus Jacksoni is a real nice, communal one and the poison is weak, so it wouldn't hurt your daughters if they get stung! And if they are on that forbidden list of yours, then the list is just lame and not based on anything logical

lolz they are deffo on that list.......Buthidae is the largest family of scorpions, and as of 2008 contains about 80 genera and over 800 species, heres a link to wiki and there is a list at the bottom...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buthidae

or just to get a clearer picture of just how many are in the list have a look on the scorpion files/gallery link below there are so many and most are not dangerous at all....pure laziness on however had to make the lists part i think!

That is a lot!

Just too bad I guess! If you wanna stick to the rules, you really are gonna be limited

lol i dont wanna stick to the rules!

The don't worry about what scorpion is from buthidae and just order what you want

that be easy if they sold them here lol without asking for licence

You could just order them from abroad! Not saying you should do anything illegal, just saying you could

Try Liocheles Australasiae, they are not really true bark scorpion, they are exactly the opposite of most barkie (Big chela, short metasoma, grow slow etc) but they do live on bark lol

i really do hate the amount of scorps theyve put on dwa, tbh i think its lazyness.

Yes it's really stupid!

that would be cool to have barks not in buthidae i wounde how they would look ?

there is things that are non buthids that are smiilar to barks in some ways
but the problem there is that they are from places like mexico and are not in the hobby
and getting them would not be an easy task at all and mostlikely alot of trouble
so i would look around and see what your options are realy and you may find something
that would fit what your looking for

man i would go nuts withoug centruroides and tityus

Try an Uroctonus Mordax from the states, mr. mordax's favs.

Think they are the closest to bark scorpions not in buthidae imo
