Baby Heterophrynus batesii, unlike Tanzanian Tailess Whips, these guys do not hug the sides of their environment, their legs protrude out like a crane.
Awesome pic, and species. The Phrynidae family is one of the most interesting Amblypygi families. Particularly the Acanthophrynus, which contain the worlds largest species.
The animal pictured is a 1 inch baby. The baby has grown to a 4inch juvie. As adults, their pedipalps can reach 8 inches across (males). Current breeding projects are underway and we hope to have more babies soon.
are they also arboreal they are beutiful i want one more than a cambridge.whats their lifespan?
mike
also if any die can u send me the body so i can pin it?
Fresh shed pic. Rounding out at around at a legspan of 5 inches, and still a juvie!! Really cool to watch, more active at night than African species. They have great appetites. They can be found at night in the same spot with pedipalps extended ready for prey!!
looks awesome art, hmmm so they don't keep their baby colors though eh, looks cool anyhow, please let me know whenever you have some for sale!(Selenocosmia@aol.com ) good job on raising em...,--Jeff
