I am loving this Ambly craze... which species are available in the US? I have P. marginemaculatus, D. diadema soon to be on the way, but am very interested in acquiring other species. Beautiful pictures, all.

Native to Arizona? I really have to start saving for my trip there, LOL. So many amazing bugs to look for.

hmm you know the climate condition in florida... i keep them normally @27°C with more or less humidity (i never measure it-i just put water once a week inside the boxes), and for some weeks a little bit colder.... whips need time.. .a lot of time

Hi,this is not a H.batesii species... either H.longicornis, or something else!!

You need a lot of time and patien, and knowing the right people... I travel also a lot and try to find a lot of them in nature and see their natural enviroment, etc. ... I breed them now since 11years... so take time

Where did you get that? Any females?

 

[Elytra and Antenna]

They had these at the cincy zoo labeled as as Damon, what do you think?

 

[Elytra and Antenna]

More detail.

 

[Banshee05]

i can say what it is not
no charon, no heterophrynus or other phrynidae... damon or phrynichus spp.
for the rest I need more details.

interesting. Thanks! I am just now starting to get into the Amblypygi, so the head's up is most appreciated. What did you notice that helped ID him? I love your collection, by the by!
