hi,
hope im not just wasting your time with this one here but i went to one of the local pet-stores here and the owner had a small scorpion he called a "yellow/brown thai-scorpion"

enyone ever heard that name? he dident have the latin name..

the scorpion was really small 2". all i saw was yellow no brown and it had kinda a fat tale :-/

anyone with the sligtest idea? i sure dont

and again, sorry if im wasting your time, it`s a longshot

thanks, it looks like the one they have. have you ever heard of the name they used, or is it something they may just have made up? did some searches but dident find anything.. it`s an odd one

yup it was a made-up name.. the petshop guy called the import person and he had no idèa what it was.. funny that he just made up a name and sent it on it`s way
