Um, I'm not sure if that was directed at me or not, but I'm 14, so I don't work anywhere. I do not own any of the scorpions above. (Yet anyway.) You can order lots of species online. Some good places to buy scorpions are: http://www.kenthebugguy.com/ and http://swiftinverts.com/

If you took a census of all scorp owners which species would show up the least on that? |
As tfleming said, pretty much all scorpions are legal in the US.
Some Heterometrus species are rare in the US and have mild venom.
Some rare species are H. swammerdami, H. mysorensis, H. phipsoni, H. madraspatensis, etc. The problem is that very few people have these, and even fewer are breeding them. There is a member on here called Jarvis, who is breeding all the species I listed above. (He has none for sale right now though.)
From your reaction, I see your probably wondering why people keep highly venomous scorpions. If you use common sense, the danger is quite low. Also, 99% of people start with scorpions such as Pandinus imperator (Emperor scorpion) or a Hadrurus sp. (Desert Hairy), which have low venom and are considered "beginner" scorpions. Only after people become more experienced with beginner scorpions, do they move on to more advanced species.

You can purchase just about any species you want in the US. Every state has different restrictions. Texas has none! Check with your local Fish & Wildlife Organization. Be sure you buy from a company state side or you could run in to trouble if you don't have an import/export license. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!!! |
You're completely correct, tfleming. _________________ "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." -E.E.

| Great info! I had a scorpion when I was young but wasn't responsible for it at the time. I've had an emperor scorpion for about 2 years now. It actually just gave birth, she must have eaten some because all that I saw were 10. But it's been a week and a half since they were born and all are still alive! I bought another tank for them for when they get bigger but just to keep them safely until I find people who want to adopt them. So I'll have an extra tank for another more rare species, and hopefully one more venomous, simply for the awesome factor.
Thanks a lot for that website, I was looking for online pet stores but could only find ones that sell pet supplies. That's insane how you can legally own a death stalker.

It's not really all that insane if you really think about it.
-For starters, buthidae such as Leiurus sp. or Androctonus sp. will deter many people on their venom potency alone, so the likelihood for incident is pretty low overall.
-Secondly, the reach of most scorpions at a maximum is 3" which makes the likelihood for envenomation while using proper technique rather low.
-I imagine they'll be regulated one day, after a bunch of idiots get their hands on them and people start hurting themselves with them like most things. |

| Agreed. As long as you use common sense, the danger is very low.

| Quite possibly my all time favorite species from my all time favorite genre. As far as I know, I'm the only person to reproduce this species life cycle thus far.  Being the first brood, I have a semi superstitious ritual to disturb as little as possible. Sorry, but this is the best pic you'll be getting... Also, I may make small groups of this species available at my discretion. However, I will be hoarding a vast majority of the first brood for obvious reason. Oh, and my ever faithful breeder managed to yet again produce more Leiurus quinquestriatus quinquestriatus (Egypt)  |
