Looking for a good scorpion breeder

[Eon]

I've decided to take the plunge into keeping scorpions but I'm having trouble locating good breeders. Anyone know a good one they would recommend?

 

[RTTB]

Several excellent ones right here on this forum.

Agreed, check the classifieds section and you should be able to find them pretty easily. I haven't bought from all of them, but @gromgrom and @Scorpionluva have always been my go-to guys for scorps. Lots of other people have popped up fairly recently and from what I've seen/heard they're all real stand up hobbyists too.

What species are you looking to get? Have you kept scorpions or other arthropods before?

Thanks for the advice, haven't kept arthropods before I mostly have reptiles. Really the only arthropods I can even say I've "kept" have been feeder insects. I'm interested in getting a P. imperator.

Well, P. imperator is a good starter, though they're rather expensive and on the harder side to find nowadays. The cheaper version would be something in the genus Heterometrus. Same care, same size and color, though they have a bit of attitude to them.

I just had my F2 CBB P. imperator female have her babies last night! This is her second litter in two years. This is a very hardy species, but more difficult/expensive since the import ban. I will be selling these once they are established and feeding well. Let me know if interested. They will be young but easy to raise. Take care and good luck!

Hello

I am trying to inbox you but the forum says my inbox is full. It is not so I am not sure how to contact you. I will be selling these CBB true P. imperator in a few weeks after they molt and have taken several meals. Please let me know if interested and thank you!

How much each?

 

[Reptilesbyrick]

At the 2-3i stage, probably $45 each. These are 2 generation CB true emperors that I have been working with for about 7 years all total.
