I've been interested in keeping scorpians in the WC but can't find any laws regarding keeping scorpians. Anyone know is they are legal/needing a permit to keep? Edit: By keeping scorpians I mean species that are not indeginous,

According to Google you need a permit from CapeNature to keep or catch any invertebrate as a pet.

And any species that's not indeginous? I'm looking to keep an Emperor Scorpian which, if I'm not mistaken, come from somewhere in Africa?

I think youre not allowed to own anything at this point. If you have cockroaches infesting your flat, they are probably illegal too.

maybe look into zebras.
