No, I never got a mail...

hmmm, i didn`t measure anything, but i think some P.orientalis are the longest... with around 10,5cm femur/tibia of the pedipals... so double this, and add the carapace in the middle and you got the fully lenght

 

[Deroplatys]

Wow thats huge

I'll try again with the email, i thought it was going wrong again

What do you feed your Amblypygids? I have been feeding crickets but moved to B. dubia roaches. They are not working out as they dig under the substrate and stay buried a long time. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to NOT buy crickets. :razz:

I have to say again I am really impressed with your collection. It seems like everytime I browse through something else is noticed that I didn't before! Keep posting pics, please!

i am absolutely amazed that a collection of this caliber even exists. i have seen more species in this thread than i even knew existed in captive care anywhere, including zoos/research facilities. all ive ever known until this thread were maybe 5 different species. quite a few of these have made it to my want list. i thank you greatly for sharing pics of your collection, you have opened up a new avenue of possibilities for me. please keep the updates coming. i have gone thru this thread front to back many times just to see the pics of species ive never heard of before, again absolutely amazing

i feed normal crickets- Acheta domesticus, i need every week around 2000pcs in all sizes
and for the small nymphs of e.g. Sarax spp. i feed fruit flies- Drosophila sp.

that's what i want to hear, people should get into it, and love it like me- cause it is realy hard to keep all this species in a good breeding group alone, just a handfull it out for some other interested people, and i hope they don't loose their motivation to breed them over a period of years...

It is best not to look at Michaels' pictures anymore. Believe it is for your own sake! I found these ugly, dirty animals (although I keep T's and scorps) and I was sure never to keep these.........But because of looking at these pics and Michaels' love for keeping and breeding these, now I have some too!
Don't say I didn't warn you!

They had rapidly became one of my top 3 all time favorite arthropods, i love, shame more poeple dont keep them, we only have D.diadema availble in the UK, with maybe a Charon sp. or Phrynus oce every couple of years its seems

 

[Banshee05]

I am seeling a lot of different species all the time... some i breed for over 10 years now... it is just a point of time, till enough people breed them- i give my best to etablish them in the hobby.

 

[Deroplatys]

I'll try my best to breed them, i really hope more species become available in the UK other than just D.diadema

 

[Banshee05]

Damon medius

Damon tibialis

Damon annulatipes

Damon diadema

Damon variegatus

Euphrynichus bacillifer

 

[bigjej]

beautiful collection
It would be nice if there were more available but how can they be more available if we don't know where to acquire them?

 

[Banshee05]

Thank you.
THe problem is, thatI cannot ship to the US, otherwise I can offer a lot of different species...

 

[Deroplatys]

Finally a good thing about being in the UK then
Amazing species as always, really want some E.bacillifer someday.

 

[bigjej]

Pulling my hair..!!! so anyone know good US sources?
