Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to find out what the law is around keeping, breeding, and selling scorpions in the South African market and was wondering if any of you might have an insight.
Besides having a registered company with a VAT number etc, what are the laws around scorpions?
From what I could gather so far:
1. There are a few local species which are protected and require a permit.
2. You are allowed to keep the un-protected local species BUT are not allowed to breed or sell them.
2. You are allowed to breed and sell species not native to South Africa? Do you require a permit and anything else?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
