Tanzanian Whipspiders

[randar]

My 50 gal. enclosure, pair of Damon variegatus whipspiders/scorpions, empty sperm stalk, and female with eggs. Whipspiders mated the 4th of November. Looking foreword to the little ones in the future. Not sure how long it takes? I am getting the book on them on the 1st, but if any one knows give me a heads up, thanks!

Well done! FYI, I think those are in the West African Damon group, which usually means D. medius in practice. They definitely aren't D. variegatus (as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing, since until recently the West African Damon have been fairly uncommon in the US and they'e bigger and more interesting than the central African Damon group--I think that's what it's called, anyway). I'm glad these are being bred in the U.S. I don't have any information on schedule or how to raise them.

After further investigation, I have to agree what I have is D. medius!
