Not a Reptile, still medically significant…

Leiurus quinquestriatus (deathstalker)

I love this species, but I do feel that way too many of these are produced too much & sold for way too cheap.

I snagged this big guy from a convention for $40. Wasn’t asked any questions, wasn’t warned, vendor didnt care to whom they were selling. Had like 30 of these stacked up on a table ready to go.

Of course it’s easy to avoid a scorpion sting, unlike snakes, but I still feel some precautions should be taken on the part of the breeder…
