Tri-Colored Hissing Scorpion
(Opistophthalmus glabifrons)
Some of the nicest looking locality morphs of this species come out of East Africa, and that’s were these little guys came from. Nice high oranges and pale blue white stripes.
$16.00
Absolutely awsome !! I wonder if it is legal to get them into Norway ??
Regards as ever,

i've called carolina specialty pets and he's totally out... he just relocated and had to quickly lighten his load.
They are a great species - large, very aggressive, attractive (as you can see), and serious burrowers. Put them in a deep tank, filled about halfway with a mix of about 60% clean sand, 35-37% potting soil/peat humus, and about 3-5% of celluclay (it's used to stiffen clay - can be found in art supply stores). Pack that mix down tight and let it dry before adding the scorp. It'll make a nice hard desert-like substrate that will allow the scorp to dig an impressive tunnel system without collapsing. The only thing is, they like their burrows, so you may not see them out much.innocence lost said:Oh God, dont I just wish it was one of mine.....
No It was a pic I found on the net.. Im thinking about adding it to my collection, but I want to read up on it first..
My husband is not too thrilled about this whole scorpion thing.. even though it was his idea to get the emp.. But He'll warm up to it.. Or else. :razz: LOL

They will sometimes charge out of their burrow to grab prey, but usually slide back down their holes very rapidly once they have it. Definitely not a good one for holding. They are very aggressive, and though their venom is not particularly dangerous, it is said to be very very painful.innocence lost said:cool. thank you, thats helpful. Dont they like to chase after their food and stuff? Not good for handling I assume?
Check the ads in the For Sale forum. They are usually being offered by someone, but they are not as frequently seen as some other scorps.drolkp said:thanks for the tip... do u by chance know of anyone who might have a mixture of opistophthalmus' ?
