I think 4-5 Emperors are going to reside in the upcoming 50 gallon tank but where should I order? I want to avoid the confusion of ordering an asian forest on accident.
... Okay.... But you're still gonna run into the same problems. It's still going to be rather difficult to find someone who is selling them. There is little to no guarantee that the ones you order are P.imperator. Some breeders will just tell you that they are just for the sake of it, so the only truly reliable way to identify exactly what species scorpion you have, would be to post a picture here or on another invert forum for people to identify.so just buy them up slowly.
I'm not 100% sure here but I believe MassExodus is right, most places don't ship them anymore, and as Chubbs said they will be expensive(I got mine years ago and cheap from a local breeder now if I want one.. a baby alone costs about 40 and a adult is about 80-100 depending), fursure more than 20$. I have also read the odd thread(not on this forum) about sellers mistaking a Pandinus Cavimanus as a Pandinus imperator. Although the P. Cavimanus is said to be more "docile" then the P. Imperator, I guess it wouldn't really make the difference if you accidently received one, but would suck to be shipped something you don't want.. and I'm not sure if the P. Cavimanus is worth more than a P. Imperator either. Basically I guess just make sure your buying from a good seller who knows what they are doing?, and do some looking around and read reviews.
