scorpions and spiders

[mixmaster]

in most pet shops the only variety i have seen of these animals is -
rainforest scorpion
desert scorpion
bird eating spider

surely there is a much larger selection to choose from than this?

private breeders will be your only source to a larger collection i'm afraid.

I remember catching my very first scorpion in France as a young child. went out herping with my older brother a few years ago. Not only did we come across a yellow faced whip snake but did we see a heap of geckoes and a scorpion
