native scorpions

[Rebecca Burrett]

will definatly take a venture to see them and hopefully get photos aswell. may sound like a silly question but what do they do when winter comes?

[Adam Smith]

I presume if they are european species and are generally found thru spain, france and italy they prob go into some semi hybernation. Bearing in mind there are ts in america and south america that can be subject to extremely cold weather generally at night and make it through staying in their burrow. Chances are scorpions do something similar or crievices in walls would work well.

Looks like I'll have to 'propagate' a colony with the help of a few dealers, then! Much chance of seeing these at Coseley in May?

Europe and US have a lot more scorpion sp and more emphasis on breeding scorpions, could do with more sp available over here to be honest.

I agree. Unfortunately it seems the general attractions of scorpions are like those of spiders - small and dangerous, or big. Small and (relatively) harmless doesn't seem to cut it. Although if dwarf tarantulas are starting to become popular...
A pity you mostly only see Hadrurus species imported from America (though I don't mean to run Hadrurus down). And am I right in thinking that since Centruroides is in the buthidae, the less harmful species or variants would be DWA according to the list?

[Adam Smith]

I would like to have a few centruroids. Obviously with the more venomous scoprios a DWA is needed but in US they are bred as often as a G rosea over here is. I have a pair of juvenile P imerator not sure of the sex yet but hoping they are male and female

thanks
