As we talked about it some days ago, here is a Phrynus marginemaculatus spermatophore

I am really happy to see that others start breeding all these creatures I spread out since MANY years. Most of the people are not able, and I do not why.
Great job, continue it!

I will continue it for sure! I didn't know amblypygids before a friend gave me a baby Damon diadema six years ago, then i bought three adults and had my first breeding and since this time i totally fell in love with these aliens (as i like to call them). They became a real passion to me! I share a lot about them on social medias and around me, i developped a part on my website dedicated to them, i went to French Guiana earlier this year with the main goal to find and photograph Heterophrynus alces and longicornis (which i did, i should share some pics here one day), and i also got one tattooed.

And of course, a BIG thank you to you Michael for all the species you breed and sell, and for answering to my numerous questions! You are feeding my passion for these animals!

your webpage, pictures and videos are amazing. We need to talk about some parts of that in future :)

I really happy that people like you started to keep and breed this creatures, and have the same passion. Keep on doing so.

haha no worry about, it may started as a "solo" thread, but as more and more lovers and keepers join, I happy to see other pictures as well.

really great to see. Mine, since almost 20years in breeding, aren't working well right now...
do you have a coastal or cave form? Or otherwise, how do you keep them?

How to tell about coastal or cave form?

I keep mine in plastic boxes or glass terrarium for the bigger and the pair. Between 24°C and 28°C, soil always humid and i'm doing vaporisations two or three times a week especially during this season.

Amazing pics! How do you care for Phrynus exsul since its locality differs from the other Ambly's you have?
