Euscorpius flavicaudis Discussion Thread

were does it say it's illegal to colenies them some were else,is there any scientific papers about them.

It's illegal to purposely colonise any species of any animal that is not native to the country

^ i think it's illegal if you don't mean to, but know you've done it too. like using fake money.. it's not illegal to spend it if you don't know it's not real, but it is if you do know it's fake

How is anyone gonna know who tried to colonise them?

stop trying to encourage people to break the law.
nobody will know, but then you face the morals... the scorpions could destroy the local fauna. like most introduced species, they destroy the ecosystem, take bighead carp in the states for example

Yeah right.....

Didn't see that coming.....

Lol.

Have you ever kept these scorps Tom?

yeah..why?

could you tell me anything about them? are they aggresive, how long do they live for?

are you referring to Euscorpius specifically?
every species is different..
Euscorpius flavicaudis is the best behaved out of the few species of scorps... i think their life span is about 3/4 year (?)
bex knows more than i do, by far.. ask her

They live from 2-5 years and are generally placid but can be nervous some like to play dead like mine lol.. If you go through this thread from page one there is a write up on them

+1 bex
mine like to play dead then climb up my arm. they are surprisingly sociable towards me

You must be mistaken tom, nobody is sociable towards you...
