Hi,


Does anyone know of a sting report online from a A.australis (fat tailed scorpion), and does anyone have death toll figures for the species?

Having a look around on google etc but sofar to no avail.

Also if anyone knows of any keepers whom i could talk to, or any important care/breeding tips that would be of fantastic use to me.

Thanks
Dan

(PS cross posting this to get the benifit of two sections (dwa and spiders/inverts)

Me, never! (but pawel certainly isnt the only one with buthidae...L.quinquestriatus, M.martensii and A.bicolour are also "about")

Any contacts who have kept them Si? Whats that forum you go on please (with the irish people)

Quick disclaimer: i am not currently, and never have kept any DWA in my house for more than a "passing visit" of under 1 hour.

These animals do indeed belong to me (all mentioned species) along with sevral other inverts but they are kept in a friends house.

They are mine to interact with and work with however they are not kept in my facility.

Im pretty positive you will find sting reports on the venom list forums, they have a pretty extensive list of stings/bites and envenomations
I cant link you to it unfortunately as my pc is having some 'personality' issues lol
