Tailless whip scorpion and backwidows of Virgin Gorda

[JoshTopp]

I found both of these while in Virgin Gorda BVI last week, If any one has any ideas what exact species they may be, or any info on keeping them please let me know!--Josh

You cant see, but on the top of the abdomen there is a red line with two red dots at the end.

without a doubt the spider is a black widow... closest spider i know to that is the ozzy red-back but that's definitely not it

You got some balls to keep a black widow

Here in the UK we need a Dangerous Animals Licence to keep Black Widows, the licence itself is about, hmm....£300 a year.

not to mention a group of people comign round to your house to inspect your equipment to see if it's all safe and secure... plus a request to the council... plus loads of other stuff which i won't go into. Shame- I had a great deal with some scorps but they were buthids (DWA)
