If that really is a baby no way we are going to tell sex. BTW, maybe its due to not seeing the whole tank but you need more vertical hidespots.

The pic i posted was taken after i got it and at present doing work on it's home.

I purchased setup with it containing the bowl which is to deep changed to something it's size and very shallow as bowl to deep so that's gone, hide is a oval shaped log looking for something upright more natural looking.

The bedding came with setup it's for arachnids but looking for best thing to go for.

Was recomended to use syrafoam to make rocks hides ect always looking for ideas on how to make better hides ect and more natural at no matter the cost.


Viv pic below viv size 18x12x12 even if i have to change to .

Your whipscorpion requires alot of vertical climbing areas...they usually live on walls, tree trunks, basically any vertical surface. some slabs of bark standing up will work out just fine.

A water bowl is good for ambient humidity but don't expect your whipscorp. to drink from it, they prefer to be misted and will usually drink then. Any bedding that holds moisture well will suffice!
Good luck.

I decided to revive this post as I'd love to hear if anyone has any of the other species mentioned in this post for sale here in the U.S.? Particularly E. amanica or Phrynichus dhofarensis. D. medius might be cool too.....

Actually, in Damon at least, even if it's a baby you can tell the sex by the shape of the segments on the underside of the abdomen. Of course you'd need to post a quality photo and it's not quite as easy to sex them at L2 as in later instars.

this species stays this color??

very nice:eek: :eek:
Hello,
No ;) when they are born they have that colour... so white/light the body and black pedipals, but with every moult they change their colour, the light gets dark and the black gets ligther ;) in the end they look complete the same colour... typical grey/sand colour, like D.diademas, etc. wonderful species, hope mine will grow fast :)
