Scorpion Books

[ArachnoNut]

I was wondering if any of you could recommend any books on scorpions, cause I'd like to learn as much as i can about scorpions but don't always that the time sit in front of the puter' and do research so with books i can take them with me and read when i have the free time etc.. so any recommendation would be awesome!

you pretty much have to have the net and a paypal to get advanced scorpion books, the best place to start would be something like amazon? but if you haven't read any get the complete owners manual from a local book or pet store.

 

[Michiel]

You can find lots of stuff on Amazon. some of these good used ones are not very expensive. You can also find lots of books through Google, you get redirected to the stores. Some of the titles I mentioned are out of print.
There is also a UK bookstore, called NHBS online bookstore...

 

[Elytra and Antenna]

Here's a little one, 40 pages.

 

[dizzychef]

Did you own all the books?

LOURENÇO, W.R. 2002. Scorpions of Brazil. Ed. de l'If, Paris. 308pp.

Hope you can provide and review.

Interested in Taxonamony and introduction of sp in their natural habitat.

Hi,

Thanks everyone for all the book titles

Scorpions of the World by Roland Stockmann and or own Eric Ythier.

I just did a quick review in the book review section of Arachnoboards.

Yeah. If you had to get just one, the Stockmann/Ythier text gets my vote at this time. I'd pick up the Barron's book and Polis, 1990 as well if you can get your hands on the latter.

Cheers,
Dave

For the people who can read German, I particularly liked this book when I was a beginning scorpion keeper. It is a german version of M.Rubio's book, but with more scientific info.

@Dave and Kugellager, I am curious now that I read your comments! I have heard mixed feedback, but what I have seen and heared, this must be a great book for beginners to intermediate keepers. I wish I had such a book 17 years ago I hope the book is delivered soon.
