I don't have them myself, but this species is kept quite often in Europe. I think most are imported from Pakistan. It is a true desert-species. Very agressive and the other Odontobuthus sp (O. doriae) seems to be one of the most toxic scorpions in the world. On pages where LD50-values of scorpionvenom are given, I have seen it (I think) with an even lower LD50 than Leiurus!... Be careful with them, like with other medically important scorpions. On Expo's I have seen them often with mycosis-infection. So look for that before you buy them.
