But what if they got curious and "apa dalam kotak ar ?" and start shaking it up and down vigorously ??? I'm sure u'll hear a lot of sound of scorps flying around in the boxes ...and when he is done with his curiosity...so will the scorps

Technically i wanna follow the law and be a good citizen la...dun wanna beat any laws even if nobody ever finds out. The disty said will add in a heat pack to maintain high altitude temp drops. And also comes with free paper stuffings too
But frankly the delivery charges, I'm not so happy about lor...USD50 is not something light leh...oh yar forgot to tell u guys that the sellers allow you to choose the genders of the scorps or tarantulas...but i think u have to pay more for that lor... Everything also they wanna charge more wan...sigh

Yar...was trying to do that but since this is the first time doing a deal with them, if get 10 people to buy and lets say the deal go sour, then i will have 10 people after my neck. This is a testing round nia...if successful, then next round will go for bulk la...much cheaper too. But i scared the charges will increase more lor.

Yellow fat tail...? Androctonus australis or Leiurus quinquestriatus ?
Haven't got a reply on that...niway i'm not going near that thing... Kwai low LC abit lar...so will ask him when i finalise my order otherwise i think he also no wanna layan 6 pcs wan...

My tank should be ready by late next week or so and will finalise the order with u guys tat are interested.

Dude, its crouching. It is not standing up so tats why it lookd like that. Tityus can be a potent pet u know. especially for us over here with no anti-venom available. 1 jab and it could be bye bye.

Briefing from my meeting with the Garmen depatmen.

Went to Kastam and ask them, coz the guy there i know. He said best dun bring in by postal or DHL style. They just got new equipments to scan crates. So if they see ur lil guy there without a permit, its bye bye. SO he ask me to go to the JPH to get the permit. Btw...DHL service from US to here, must be a big bomb.

JPH fella look blur blur. Scorpion ??? Apa tu? No comments. So now they say i need to apply a permit to bring these buggers in. When arrived, JPH will take possesion of them to make sure that they are not infected (quarantine). Thats the scary part. I'm more afraid of the guys there than any actual disease. Those guys there, i sure bet they have not even seen a scorp. Sumore NZX wants a thick tail haha...scared the staff there mati lar...come out newspaper.
When all is ok and clear within a few days, "I" will have to collect them from SEPANG KLIA ! WAH PIANG.

Now i think its cheaper to get the bulk order la...otherwise i drive up all the way to KLIA and collect 6 miserable critters.

SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ?
agree to split the price equally ? I wanna post on the trading page but i dun think anybody would be interested to pay so much for a legally imported specimen when the cheap locally bred or imported in ahem ...u know wat i mean.

That guy just moulted...

see this
http://www.ub.ntnu.no/scorpion-files/t_fal...nsis_mating.jpg

I'm more worried for the guy in jPH that will be handling the scorp than the safety of the scorp. I dun want to be responsible if one person dies a horrible death because of it.

I think order bulk is cheaper la. Not so painful if fail haha. Will go to the JPH department this saturday morning and ask them more info. DOAs are covered by the supplier la...DBJPH not covered luo hahaha

Trace ? hehehe for wat wor...

Niway this guy above already posted the list for your fancy...most of them dangerous...1 strike and you're out hehehe

Well tele_mobile ar, the supplier didn't pass me the list la...he just ask me wat i want...mail to him and he will find out for me...I'm just a small customer buying 6 or less...he dealing with disty for petshops...doing bigger orders...I will pass ur orders to him la...see he wanna answer or not la...let u know tomorrow.

Maurus is cute...

Certainly going ahead with it la. Just waiting for their list then in due time will confirm order lor. By next week or so la...also when my tank is ready. Me just keen on those not poisonous wan... even professionals that handle them get stung, wat about me and other newbies...

Well to all i know, X-free is the only person closes to you. If you want anything more, maybe you can PM him to get something from above to get u an A.australis so that when u meet up he can hand it to you later...

BTW its name is Pandinus Imperator...

Where u staying ?

Or did you mean me ? Nah i do not have intention to bypass them. I want to do it the legal way. Even police man stop me on false accusation also end up dismayed coz i dun pay them...so u can guess how they look like I do not want to break any law and certainly not gonna make this a special occasion.

Er...when come to scorp...no guarantee ur lil cutie won't zing u...tats why if u want to be safe, dun handle it with your hand. There is always a risk involved. Either way either they zing u or they clip you...Hadogenes species is said to have the weakest sting but the pincers can really inflict equally bad wounds...its either or.
U want not so venomous wan...can join me la.

I haven't check the latest list yet...kwai low on weekend la...will pm you the pricing if you pm me tat you are interested la. They told me that the box can contain about 10 pc of scorps...so we get to share with more people and reduce the freight charge.

Dude, Leiurus quinquestriatus is the DEATHSTALKER lar...desert hairy is not considered a lifethreatening stinger. U will still live if u get zinged.

Zoejehuty, u want emperor ar ? Mine is 7 bux...USD tat is...not including freight.

Erm nolar...

I said that the Leiurus is the death stalker... while the arizonensis is the desert hairy...two seperate statement lar...i tot earlier u said that the arizonensis is poisonous...so i state that it is not lor.

Zoejehuty, All scorpions are venomous but not all are poisonous...anything with a fat tail and a skinny pincer is a potential killer

Yar, pray hard...otherwise the Scorpion thread will have lesser members after every new shipments la.

U want hadrurus ar ? Tat one on the top of the list...sure got wan haha. Its common in US and i think they would be more than glad to ship them out...

Just in case...if any of you do get tagged, remember that this species is not common here and so there will be NO ANTI-VENOM available for you...Good Luck (Edit: i am refering to the Androctonus and the Leiurus sp. and not the Hadrurus. sorry for the confusion)

By the way was the stated "friend" that bought the Hadrurus earlier kept them in a suitable tank or they set them up in a AFS setup instead , meaning jungle theme?

Its a Heterometrus...erm...forgot liao
Sure it can survive here...if u care for it why not ?

Oh...but looks like Heterometrus to me...if its from EU then most likely its gonna be a Euscorpios sp. range la. My scorpio ID is not that good lar...plus ur photo is a bit small and blur too.

Anyway...BAD NEWS GUYS !
JPH refered me to the another department and now they say have to apply permit for each species that I bring in...RM 50 for each species... It is hard trying to be a law abiding citizen my pocket cannot tahan...

I also dun like it but what can i do wor. Law is law. Regulations are meant to be followed. If one fella breaks it, some more people will continue his footsteps and we may end up like Indonesia...NO CONTROL at all...Will have to go to their office and ask and see la... so sien

Hope u guys dun think I'm finding excuses to increase the money involved...I just also got info this morning. And I dun wanna get arrested or the scorps confiscated...

Yup. I only plan to get 3 sp now...the most that is. What i plan for now is to get
-Scorpio maurus palmatus
-Hadrurus arizonensis
-Urodacus planimanus...this one is damn cool...but dunno can find any or not la...

I will not bring in poisonous ones...dun want anyone to die because of it...

Tail less whips ? scientific name ??? Maybe this guy got...vinegaroon issit ?

Ok this is from my friend, someone that has been doing a research on Hadrurus and some other species...kept them too...and this is what he has to say :

Hadrurus needs cold winters, well, at least the American species do, especially H. spadix. It gets down to about 40 F in the winter, in the burrows, in the desert for H. arizonensis. It all depends on the collecting locality. Humidity shouldn't be too much of a problem because the scorpion burrows are quite humid, compared to the outside.

Still wanna go with it ?
Nah...

I already give u a link a few pages before. In fact 2 links. use whichever u like. Hadrurus are very popular and everyone in the US knows about it. But guess like my friend says, u will need a deep tank for that guy to burrow in and have his winter season or u may have problem with him cannot moult or wat lar...

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/eycb/scorpions/Fiches1.htm
So u no need to run around looking for it.

Its a DISCLAIMER or a CARE SHEET. Do read it as it is very informational especially before you get the lil devils...U can scroll down lower and u will see a link to the care table...it states their requirement, temperature, venom potency, waterings, how they behave which i think is very useful when it comes to choosing a scorpion. Its better that you know what they need or else they might just die off after a few months...which will make u displeased. Take some time and read through. Its good info.

When the list arrives, i will post the names (here if they allow) and we will discuss which species to bring in. Most of them will range around there. Including the freight and permit charges. Take more to cover the other charges la.
