Awesome!!
I am very jealous! Especially love the E. armanica and the Heterophrynus sp. Have you managed to keep the E. armanica alive? I've heared they can be rather difficult.

Hi,
i just have one adult male, and 2 dead species. i no nobody who have them... this 3 species came from kenya with one "damon" import. i hope to get more of this, but i think bacillifer is more common in that area.

That is sad, those pedipalps are amazing!
that's right, my biggest male has an tibia lenght of 62mm, so in total about 145mm, the pedipals are amazing when they are opened and looking straight ahead to me :)

Nice photos!
Thanks for sharing them Michael!

I would suggest to have this thread it pined and renamed to "Amblypygi Picture Thread" or something alike.
Its hard to find that many Amblypygi spp photos together.

Haha and I have 1 female. My male and other female died right after they arrived. Too bad we couldn't do a breeder loan without complications with shipping.

Hi, are you sure that you have E.amanica and not E.bacillifer??! make some clear shots of the pedipal tibia and femur, and also the whole species, then i can tell you ;)

Is that a male? I had another one that had pedilaps that were double in size (but died soon after shipment). They were huge. And like my D.diadema colony (all the males have thinner and longer claws than females) I suspected the one in the photo was a female.
