Hey Rob,How much do you want for the Pede?
I'm not sure yet...my initial reaction was "sell it! get it out of the house!!" but it is a lot more interesting than I thought...I just know next to nothing about these guys...LOL

Rob, keep the pede, you will really get enjoyment out of it i promise :). I keep mine at the same temp as my T's. Keep it at 70% humidity with a full water dish, but make sure adequate ventilation is provided to prevent mycosis. Pick up the prey remains, they are very messy eaters, and feed once every 2 weeks- month. Just remember, they are EXCELLENT escape artists, i would keep mine in screw top cereal containers and the like. The venom in this species isn't to bad, even less than S. heros. Enjoy the pede!

Pedes can be lots of fun. I never suggest handling it ever though. They will bite with no provication and they are very fast.
