Hey,
Any updates on the poor H.spinifer you ecieved with the broken arm? it doing any better now?
I had a similar situation with an O.Glabrifons, eventually it removed the damaged limb on its own. Its a shame scorpions dont share the same ability of growing back limbs like spiders, etc...
Hi there,
Ive only had mine a few days and it truly is a beautiful spider! its both incredibly interesting to own and incredibly boring haha.
Really recommend them when you get a chance later in life.
cheers,
chris.
Hi there,
I had no idea that they had changed the spiders latin name. Did they rename it or was it simply that the majority in the hobby were actually this new species you mention and not the 'terrosus'? but yeah, other than the hot venom, dont think they could be easier to keep! from what ive...
Hi there,
I purchased mine from a local reptile breeder/shop. they have all sorts of exotics from DWA to your usual bearded dragons.
Mine cost me £39.99 for a sub-adult (not sure on sex yet) and it molted the night before and ate that week. so clearly in good health. They still have 3 more...
Hi everyone,
Just wondering how people recommend caring for these amazing true spiders? and what peoples opinions on the creature are in general.
Also what do people think of this mans youtube video on them?
Cheers all,
Chris.
Don't suppose anyone can point me in the right direction as to where i can purchase either of these species of centipede.
Been after these two species for years. Although my favourite species is the scolopendra hardwickei, i think once i get hold of one of these, that'll change very quickly...
Couldn't be more envious of you! not only have you acquired some, one maybe gravid AND! you have had a dream trip id love to do! how do you even go about getting a wild caught specimen imported into another country legally?
I purchased a female Opistophthalmus Glabrifons (shiny burrowing scorpion) a few months ago and all has been great and she settled in fine. I havent had a single issue with my little beauty until today. Came home from college to find a small group of babies on her back. I had no idea she was...
He completely misrepresented the animals in this interview... He was uncaring for its well being and he was quite frankly bit of a dick.... for a start he was wearing sunglasses inside.
As said below, S. gigantea and S.galapagoensis are the biggest species but personally i think S. galapagoensis is a better looking species.
By far the most beautiful species is the S. hardwickei. Bright orange bands mixed with black and they grow to about 8 inches. All three of these species are...
ah i see, never the less, cheers. From the information i can find on them they sound like a nice species. Im bit of a mix, started out with some bigger species and am now hoping to broaden my collection. Bigger the 'pede the better temper ive noticed (normally). Ive been trying to get my hands...
cheers for taking the time to do these pics, has helped, the thai are a nicer colouration, will be looking into getting some and potentially some Hemiscolopendra platei at some point or some flag tails. just getting the funds together.
I really recommend them, mine wasn't actually that badly...
Im hoping to get some of those soon. The plan is to get a nice collection going and then have a go at breeding some 'pedes, especially as they seem to be becoming more popular. Cheers, i shall look into the differences and yes, id say the hardwickei is the sunseeker of the 'pede world. (not sure...
They truly are stunning and interesting creatures. couldnt be much more of a perfect evolutionary marvel. They're are both fascinating to own as their behaviour is completely different to that of any other critter ive owned and personally i think, they're strangely beautiful.
No collection is...
dogs are actually quite handy it seems, from the sense of they alert us when somethings wrong. Cant imagine a cat be of any use. Only potentially harming the animals. Ive never actually owned a subsnipes species. would any of you recommend them? i know they're the most commonly kept 'pede but...
It is possible but i doubt it. My dog, rightly so, wouldn't go near it. Again, he wouldn't of been able to get anywhere near the terrarium, as its my pride of the collection, it sits on my work desk and has a solid lid fixture. There was no one in the house when it escaped (other than the other...
