Tityus trinitatis, where are you?

[E Hays]

I am trying to obtain a preserved Tityus trinitatis specimen. Framed would be ideal.

Anyone know the best route to obtain one? What kind of cost would be appropriate?

Thanks you all for any help.

I've never seen these offered in the USA, and I do not advocate brown boxing to obtain them either. You could try searching the classifieds to see if they're for sale however.

I haven't seen these for sale in the US for a decade. May I ask why you want to frame this species in particular and not other Tityus?

 

[Pipa]

most of your Tityus species is pretty rare in the US, good luck.

There was a time a couple years ago where there were several species of Tityus readily available, like T. silvestris and T. bastosi.

I would love to see an up to date manuscript or paper specifically on Tityus. From what I understand, there are new species being found/described quite frequently.
