SEARCHING FOR

Le Scorpion languedocien: Buthus occitanus

Salut,

I'm searching badly for any contact who can send me scorpions originally from France. DEAD OR ALIVE!
I need them for prepearing a scientific research of this genus in Europe. Please let me know if you know everyone who could help me!
I'm very grateful for any contact.

Please help me! Thank you so much.

Hi Carlos,

As you probably know, it is forbidden here in France to collect wild scorpions in their natural biotope.

Depending on your scientific research, please explain and provide links and articles about your study and research...

Collecting specimens of Buthus occitanus is not a problem, but autorization and administration and rules here in France is a problem !

Find a way to make it all this legal, and I can help you.

Best regards

If it's illegal, so you shoulnd't do it anyway.

However, thank you for your interest.
