Hello, I just ordered a small group of these to bring with me to the ATS conference (along with lots of other stuff to sale).... I want to properly identify these guys...after looking at alot of online sites, I have found them posted under many species names.....

On the STRICTLY Reptiles list (where I'm getting them from), they are labeled:

Centruroides margaritatus

The other names I have seen people use for these guys is C. limbatyus (Regal Reptiles) and someone esle (forgot who) calling them C. gracillis....


Anyone have a clue to what they are...I want to make sure they are properly identified and I don't misrepresent animals....


Here is a pic from Mark M Lucas's add on www.kingsnake.com... Mark (I heard) handpicks his animals from strictly's shipments...so this pic should be from that same group mine came from....
