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.
