Today I recieved a nice package of Tityus bahiensis from Botar. As usual the animals are very healthy and he is at the top of his game. I highly recomend doing business with him :Rockon:


Now this is one of the Tityus serrulatus I am sending to Scott Land tomorrow. Scott and others are helping American hobbiests by helping to get a huge breeding stock. As soon as we all get our breeders accounted for there will be more Tityus available to everyone.

I will do my best to spread the love Bryan
Great looking T bahiensis!

Nice looking scorpions. Do any of the breeders on this site focus on breeding specimens from the same location of origin? I think that captive breeding is very important, not only to the hobby, but if good enough records are kept, to the science and conservation as well. Good job.

Shouldnt be hard to get a colony of serrulatus going since theyre parthenogenic... LOL Anyways, best of luck guys!

When we get scorps that are native to foreign countrys it is difficult to know exactly what region they are from. All we usually know is the country. Now if you will notice, I always list the subspecies of my scorps if I know what it is which will narrow down the specific region they are from to a certain extent

If I have different color morphs that happen to be from different regions I will keep them seperate but like Bryan said normally it is not known where they were collected and unless you collect them yourself you will never really be sure.

Very commendable guys. More captive breeding should reduce the pressure on wild ones and eventually bring prices down making them more attractive financially to a larger crowd. More keepers mean more breeders. What a great circle you guys are starting.

Thanks Patrick!
Price is not really an issue Scorpions are already pretty cheap the problem is species availability but people like Bryan and now me, we are bringing more species to the US hobbyists.

ya specially Tityus untill reciently they were not to be found in the hobbie. correct me if im wrong but these are comming in from prolly Germany yes and they get them from Brazil yes. unless things have changed reciently we cant get Brazillian critters directly from there here in the US.
all these Tityus really make me want to leave my family or least get rid of the kids:D

Yeah most of the orginal Tityus were CB in either Germany or Holland. The Europeans have been breeding stuff like this for years so needless to say they are waaaaaaay ahead of us but we are trying to get caught up. The Europeans have been really helpful in showing me and others their little tricks on breeding scorps.
Tarantula breeding in the US has been going on for quite awhile but I like to think of us as pioneers in the American scorp hobby. We still have a long ways to go but we are all learning new stuff all the time and are sharing our experiences (both good and bad) with everyone.
Hopefully within 2 or 3 years we will have a better variety of species to choose from and the price of these wont be so high.
Like Scott said, we arent doing this for the money in fact I havent made a dime on anything. We are doing this for the American hobby. This is our small contribution to the Hobbiests

Thanks again Bryan!

No problem Scott. With a little luck T serrulatus will be common in the hobby soon

Looks good guys! Glad to hear people like yourselves are taking steps like this for the hobbyists! Keep up the good work!!!!

Thanks Steve! eventually you will be able to do the same

we do that. from herps to scorps for many places like costa rica, brazil, tanzania and my fav, madagascar - minus the scorps of course...can't get scorps from the bleeding island.

You can get Scorps from Madagascar
