New amblypygid owner; my recent purchase has a bit the moss that it was packaged with tangled around one of its antenniform legs. I was able to remove some of it, but there's still a sizable chunk and I'm wondering if I should leave it be or try to remove it. However, I'm not sure if I can remove it without damaging it. Does anyone have experience with this? It's eaten and it doesn't seem to affect it's mobility otherwise.

Sorry if flair is wrong or if this is the wrong place to ask. My partner and I are looking to get one in the next several months, so we’re wanting to know of any reputable places to buy one. Specifically looking at any larger species like A. coronatus, P. maesi, or D. diadema but primarily just looking for any species for sale in general. Read other posts here of P. maesi being easier to care for an A. coronatus also not being too bad. Thank you!

Does anyone here keep Charinus acosta? I've been finding myself heavily interested in keeping some miniature arachnid and while researching all the pseudoscorpions, harvestmen and the like I discovered this species. Done the research I can, but it seems like there's not a consensus for how easy they would be for a first time Amblypygid keeper (well arachnid keeper).

Hey guys! So I just found a spider in my Ambys enclosure. I'm not sure what kind it it. I thought it could have been my C Elegans but when I checked his enclosure he was still in there. Any idea what kind of tarantula or spider this is? And how soon do I need to remove it?

I have a P. marginemaculatus (named bojangles) and I’ve been feeding him crickets and mealworms. Crickets are really annoying though because I only need like 1 maybe 2 a week to feed him (I have no other pets that eat them…) and pet stores don’t really sell single crickets. Mealworms are great and I’m thinking of starting a culture to save money and plastic, but would feeding an ambly only mealworms eventually lead to deficiencies or would he be ok?

Hey all,

I got a tailles whip scorpion from a local pet shop a few months ago and it has never eaten. It molted once on april 25th and that is it.

I have tried small crickets, squished head crickets, dead crickes, small dubia nymphs, it just hasn't touched anything.

It is definitely alive, but I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Here is a couple pictures of it's enclosure.

I’ve had Creature for a few months now, I’ve been calling him he, but I’m completely unsure of the sex. The person I bought him from mislabeled him as a damon, which was extremely obvious, I’ve been more on the market for Whiteii anyways.

I know that amblypygid are very hard to sex, but what are some things I can look for to determine this one’s sex? Anything helps, I really don’t mind what I end up with anyways, I love them all the same.

Cheers

Just today I came across this young ambly at a local pet store and jumped at the opportunity to pick one up after keeping an eye out for a few months. The price was really low and I knew it wouldn't survive a molt in the enclosure they were keeping it in, so I guess it was meant to be. As this'll be my first ambly I was hoping to get a phrynus (and knowing how common they were I presumed it'd be a good bet) but I had a feeling I'd have to know what to look for myself since these guys appear to seldom be properly labeled.

So of course, no species label on this guy, but the care guide had a picture of a whitei on it. Now that I'm getting a good look and have photos to refer to, the pedipalps are looking awfully...damon-esque to me. What do you guys think?

Apologies for the photo quality, hopefully it's still discernible.

One of the pet stores I usually buy my inverts from has this cutie for sale and it's currently being advertised under the name of Paraphrynus mexicanus. The markings on its face don't look right to me, and was wondering if it's actually a Phrynus whitei?

This isn't the first time one of their breeders would have given them the incorrect species ID as I once bought a Theraphosa blondi from them that turned out to be a Theraphosa stirmi.

I'm getting a juvenile Euphrynichus bacillifer and thinking of using a 25cm cube enclosure. I've set it up like a arboreal enclosure but want to know what people keep there adults in

My Damon Diadema had some Babies now i just wanted to ask how Long do i Need to wait until i can pair them again ? Or how Long should i wait until she can get Babies again ?

Are Phrynus Whitei Parthenogenic?

What can I add to improve this enclosure? I was thinking some more cork and air plants?
