I just bought an amblypigid at a pet store. They don't know what kind it is because someone just dropped her off on the counter and left. I'm guessing she's female because her pedipalps don't read the first joint of the first walking leg. What I don't know is how to set up her home - especially since I don't know what kind she is. Google images don't seem to show enough detail for me to tell.
She is in a temporary home right now. I am going to put coconut fiber on one side of the tank and play sand in the other. I'm thinking a heating pad under the tank might be better than a hot rock. She has a small cricket to eat but has ignored it so far (4 days). She also has a shell to hide under and I'm going to give her a spider plant and a stick to climb.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for her? Her name is Amelia.

Looks like you have a Damon diadema juvenile there, still too small to sex by looking at the pedipalps. How tall is the enclosure? Tall enough to put some vertical pieces of cork bark in? These guys molt hanging vertically so eventually it will need a vertical surface to climb and hang on.
