Is it alive? Seems to come in quite restrictive packaging!

Mat · 12 Feb 2008 at 10:13

Doesn't look much like a Brazilian Salmon to me... and I bet it doesn't eat pink birds either. :/ hmph

They're both moving, so i guess so. It's probably best for them, especially when they're going through the postal system

Are they trained to not murder you? Can you hold them?

I dont see how these can be pets to be honest lol.. How can you 'pet' them? They'd take your bloody finger off..

How is that a spider? Looks like a crab or scorpion.

He didn't have a clue at all, no indication on the box that it contained live animals. Came in a big polystyrene box, packed with bubble wrap and newspaper, the scorpions came in their individual tub.

It's thier home for the rest of the afternoon, untill all the kit gets delivered by another company. I didn't realise they could climb it though, i'm afraid to take the top off!

Happy hunting! Haha

Definately not L.parahybana

I'm no scorpion expert, but looks an awful lot like my P.imperator

emperor scorpion. Retail for about £5 each, if you know where to look you can get them for free most of the year. Not dangerous at all.
