Yes, it is legal in the UK to have a pet scorpion. Of all the varieties of scorpion, the Emperor Scorpion is the most popular, due to its nature being a bit more docile than that of some other varieties.

Yes. Loads of them in pet shops. And one species in the wild - Euscorpius flavicaudis, commonly known as the European Yellow-Tailed Scorpion. Migrated to the UK about 200 years ago, a few colonies can be found in South-East England.

Are cats immune to scorpions?

If a cat stung a scorpion, it would probably kill it. The venom in a scorpion is enough to kill the average house cat.WRONG.......Actually it will most likely NOT kill a cat. The average house scorpion does NOT have enough venom to kill a cat, only the bark scorpion does and you can tell if it is a bark scorpion if it can climb walls! Scorpions are not monsters but are dangerous, if your house pet starts to drool or have tremors or difficulty breathing they should see a vet but mostly they will live.

What is the best scorpion for a pet?

"Well, what I would do is not have a scorpion. They might sting you with their stinger on the tail so the answer is NO!"Another perspective:I have 12 different species of scorpions and have never gotten stung. Now you shouldn't just pick up any scorpion you find on a desert or rain forest, as some are lethal and the area you live might have some laws against having animals caught from the wild. You can find one at a local pet store for a cheap price. Before getting one please make sure you did your research on your scorpion and have all things needed to make a suitable home for your scorpion before you bring it home. Hope you change your mind about this rather beautiful creature and start an active hobby that will bring you lots of fun times.
