Where to get a Heterometrus swammerdami???

[Max Blankenbeker]

I'm sure y'all must have seen this post before. I'm new to here. I have no idea where to go by buying one of these things. Any of y'all have any good sources? Thanks.

Try posting in the classifieds on this site. Make a "want to buy" thread. Beyond that, google "Heterometrus swammerdami for sale" and see what pops up. If you find a vendor through Google, do a search on this site for reviews or reports to see if it's a good seller.
Good luck!

You wont find any for sale in the U.S. anytime soon

Why is that?

Why is that?

They're extremely scarce and the very very very few people have them will not sell them.

If you are looking for a similarly sized black scorpion, there are a lot more options, H. swammerdami's size is not that impressive compared to other Heterometrus.

I'd be very curious what species are of comparable size!
