Infinity, I noticed your wanted ad about trying to track down a scorpion that is not on dwa list but the thing is it's left me a little confused. I've found countless commercial and private websites/breeders just from a yahoo search, for that species and many others, that provide a great selection of legal scorpions, in fact I have found it more difficult to find as many websites actually selling dwa scorpions in the first place. One thing I didn't mention in my other reply is that even some animals such as Tarantulas and Scorpions that are NOT on the list can actually inflict MORE damage than some of their dwa counterparts, this is due to venom studies moving about 5% of the speed of the pet trade and scientific discoveries. There are spiders on our livestock list that in their native countries are feared due to the destructive power of their bite, yet I can order them in for as little as £15 and they do not require me to sell them to a dwa holder only. Crazy... My point is that you could have the most deadly scorpion in the world, yet with a little intelligence and forethought it would be no more dangerous to the keeper than a pet mouse. Research, plan, think...

This is the coasttocoast website, i'm not suggesting you use them to get your scorpion, but they normally have a few species available and it'll give you an idea of what to search for on the internet. Good luck in your search.
