Thanks Cameron
I do not know. I once tried to get a permit to keep snakes but it was almost more traumatic than getting bitt by one...
So these guys we catch, study and realese after a while.
With the baboon spiders the release is bit more difficult as they only once in there early life dig a hole.
Thank you namitha.
These kind of scorpions are not that dangerous. Its the ones with the thick tail that are more poisones.
Interesting creatures how ever, in the sense of survival just to name a few.
So much detail in such small surface! !!!!
Very nice pictures!
Kind regards from Namibia

Thanxzzz for the nice comments!
Scorpions are really fascinating creatures and misunderstood. These ones with the thin sting and strong pinchers, only paralyze their prey and hold them with the pinchers while they start to eat.
Thank you for your professional approach in advising me. Sorry for braking the rules in even my first spotting!
Well spotted Bo and thank you for sharing!
2 years ago we found one in the Erongo mountains in Namibia...no reliable dokumentations in that earea up to now.
As they are small and hunting in borrows ect. I understand the joy you might have experienced!
