Yes we will have to look at the laws within the United States about importation of potentially deadly scorpions. I think this sounds a profitable business so it's something we are looking into at the moment.Rare species (a great example would be Leiurus jordanensis, which is basically a black deathstalker) can go for upwards of $200 for a sling, and adults could be sold at an incredibly high price. I see them more and more, but they are still very rare to see. The problem woth the US is the import laws. Many countries like Africa and possibly the Middle East where the scorpions are most deadly have highly strict import laws that stop almost all hobbyists from getting species there. You can get permits, but that takes a lot of time. Depends on the scorp though, mostly. I know of only one seller recently that is selling H. tamulus slings, but he is also one of the best to get rare scorps from. Most of the really venemous and rare species are uncommon in the US since not many want to sell potentially deadly animals. Probably won't find the quantity of them to milk, but oossibly to breed...
