I think you need to contact the Wildlife/Agriculture department on that, in both countries, to get permits. Also, I barely know anything about doing this. But from what ive read, Peru and venezuela are good places. I hear they have a lot of pedes. Also, one time while I was in Mexico, I saw a 4 inch plus scorpion, but then I thought it was venomous (it might have been an androctonus, but I didnt know much, and I still dont know much about identifying scorps, pedes, tarantulas, etc. Mexico and and Peru seem like options. You could choose from tropical and desert speces, and I would probably go with mexico, as you could also travel to some high humidity areas.
