Are yellow fat tails legal?

Just wondering if it's possible to own a yellow fat-tail in Canada or in North America for that matter.

Yep.

Only country buthids are illegal in is the UK.

I take it pet shops won't just order them up for you though?

Pet shops rarely carry anything more exotic than emps or the occasional mis-IDed Heterometrus. If you want to pick up Androctonus spp. you're going to have to do it through classifieds on sites like this or by going to shows.

cheers for the reminder lmao! you guys are soooo lucky

petshops around here will order some at a rediculous price though

Around here you have top drive like 6 hours to get to a pet shop like that and it's not even certain they will do it.

Hell I didnt even know they were legal until today i did some research into pet shops so far away its almost not worth it.

order from dealers online

you guys are so lucky! i might even move to america just so i can keep buthids!!

Why are they illegal there? Is it to keep that species from invading or somethin?
