Pandinas Imperator (Imperial Scorpion)

Well.. I wasnt thinking of getting one of these but there was one out with the keeper in the shop and um..

This is the P. Imperator scorpion and comes from Western Africa. Similar to the B. Smithi tarantulas these are also on the CITES appendix 2 list. Its a perfect beginners scorpion as they are quite calm.

They are one of the largest scorpions and can grow up to 20cm long, and weigh up to 30 grams.
