I am curious about the setups for adult damon diadema. I am planning on separating them. Any photos/ideas of setups? I did hear of the plastic cereal box enclosure, might do that.
How many per enclosure just curious? I was thinking about separating out the females and males or just making one large enclosure and putting them all together (can do either one, just want to see what is best for them).I just keep mine in screen-topped glass enclosures with coconut fiber substrate and large, angled cork bark slabs for them to climb on. I usually loosely stack a second (smaller) cork slab against the first, to create a dark crevice for them to hide in during the daytime. I don't bother with a water dish for these guys, but just mist the cork and sides of the tank several times a week to give them drinking water and maintain humidity.
The most important thing is that they have something with a rough texture they can get a good grip on (like cork) that they can hang from when they are molting - and plenty of open space below it to extend their appendages.
I would use something that keeps in more humidity than I imagine a fabric lid would. Though maybe I underestimate how good fabric is at that. Amblypygi also like corners to hide in, although if you construct hides in other ways I'm sure that won't be an issue.Would a deli cup perhaps work? Like with a fabric lid and maybe a cork bark piece or foam board?
Hi everyone! Sorry, this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone know where I can find a whip scorpion in the Damon genus for sale? I've searched all over the web and they all seem sold out.
