I should have not made this thread :( now after reading the other thread, my fat tail wish list expanded lol. btw that A austrialis is on steroids lol, so far the orthochirus innesi is really the one that is getting my attention because the tail is bigger than the body :)

Well, it depends on what you mean by the site, and available in the hobby.

For example, my favorite part of that website is the Origins section. In that are lists of the known scorpion species from each country. Pretty cool. I would bet your scorpion is in there.

The gallery mostly contains pictures of scorpions that are or have been available in Europe. But many, if not most, are not available here.

What is the scorpion you are interested in?

Btw, the author of that website has a book coming out, I think the publisher is already taking orders.

Yeah the site is really informative and has a diverse pics and information of scorpions around the world. I might order the book :). Also, I look at the pics of scorpion in the middle east but I never saw any pics of the Hemiscorpius genus. I hope the author will add the venom type of each scorpion in his book. I'm really interested on venom informations.

Orthochirus sp. have a massive tail relative to size but are a fraction of the overall size of a Androctonus.

unless you would really stick to the "fattest tail" then you should go for Orthochirus
