I am in Kuwait, and there are fat-tailed black scorpions running around here everywhere.
I have caught one and keep it in my office. I have been toying with the idea of bringing it back to the states and selling it.
First of all, since this is the second most venomous scorpion in the world, what are your views about bringing it back? What if someone buys it, brings it home and is stung and dies? What if, in fact, my customer's child is killed? Am I to blame, in your view?
Secondly, how much would YOU pay for such an animal?
-
How much for the little girl? The women, how much for the women?
Your women, I want to buy your women. The little girl. Your daughters. Sell them to me. Sell me your children.
-
Yeah I don't think it's a good idea. What are you keeping it in? A jar on your desk?

Five Camels and a mangy goat.

I would say if it was an experienced herp keeper, well you see where im coming from. There are people more then capable of keeping such things. Should you, perhaps if you had a sure fire buyer that checked out in ability.
-
Morally, would I say that you're responsible if someone buys a scorpion and it stings them or their child? No.
Legally, is bringing a scorpion to the United States from Kuwait allowed? Almost certainly not.
Would I buy a scorpion from you, for any price, from anywhere? No.
-
Its not legal. Customs, and all.

Bringing back Cuban cigars isn't legal, yet I do it every time I travel internationally.

Are you going to smuggle it into the country in your underpants? :)

why can't people be statisfied with either a cat or a dog, like a normal human being.
what kind of fucking creep wants a god damned alien-looking insect sitting on their aquarium next to their bed or in their living room?

Scorpions are neat animals, but I prefer a dog, personally. I know some people like to buy them and keep them as pets, that's why I am considering bringing it home with me: to sell.
I don't know what price it will fetch. I understand that Emperor Scorpions cost between $20-60.

Hell, I'm half temped to catch the black widow that lives outside my barracks and keep it as a pet.
Lemme know about any offers, I might have to invest when i go over there.

Scorpions are not insects.... they are related to spiders. More than 6 legs.

Androctonus crassicauda which literally means 'fat-tailed man-killer'
According to Avery Exotics which is out of British Columbia, the cost of a 2 1/2 inch fat tailed scorpion is $65.

Seems like a pittance to risk bodily harm or possible death (if the scorpion manages to escape while traveling) and being caught by Customs for. Wildlife smuggling can get you 10 years in prison and a fine of about $70,000.

To make $65 Canadian, I'll take that chance.

Then I agree with Evil Muppet.

cats and dogs? very energetic. and curious creatures. not boring.
a stuipid reptile/insect/spider/district-9-looking action figure that just fucking sits on underneath a heatlamp all day long is boring.
BORING!!!

You get the shorthair gregariousness smashed with the siamese intelligence and stubbornness (and loud meow/barking). In short, it's like a friendly fuzzy EMS car.

who says I can't handle it? they can do whatever they want; I just think it's stupid, and creepy, and weird...and I wonder what kind of social life these nerds with their weird "pets" have outside of watching their snake eat a chinchilla. or watching their chinchilla take a bath in a pit of volcano ash?
nobody impresses a girl by bringing an iguana to the dog park and saying, "wanna feed it a hamster?" "wanna fucking watch it do battle with my scorpion?"

Maybe not, but Chinchillas deserve to be eaten.
Yes. Yes they do.

Oh, absolutely. Guys are over the moon about pets that a) eat other pets, or b) can be eaten, or c) both. Which is why I want chickens. They eat snakes, frogs, spiders....
(Okay, it's not really why. But it's a nice perk)

You think you can say that just because you have a big dick, don't you?

I am sure you could find an exotic critter dealer that might give you a decent amount of money for them as long as you get them through customs, If you want to cut out the middle man maybe you should go to an exotic pet forum and see what actual owners have to say.
If your customer ran over his kid with a car would the car salesman be to blame? People die in car accidents all the time do you think every care salesmen out there is filled with a murderers guilt?

You should do it if you think you can sell it down the line. I think if you are gonna do it, at least you should scoop up several for the trip (but keep them separate).
My gal says no, cuz she thinks you are going to kill somebody.

Well, I decided not to for a few reasons:
1. Though some people here missed the sarcasm, I am not interested in paying a $70K (or whatever it is) fine for illegally importing a wild animal.
2. I had a dream (or rather, a nightmare) that I woke up, the jar was open and the killer scorpion was loose in my room somewhere.
3. I couldn't find a buyer on such short notice, even if I was interested in risking the crazy-ass fine.
