Euphrynichus Amanica/ amblyigid

[rosscleland]

Hi all! Does anyone happen to know where to purchase euphrynichus amanica in the UK? I'm struggling to find it on any invertebrate/arachnid selling websites. Thanks.

That's a pretty rare species, so it won't come up very often. I'm sure there are people with it there, but they may not currently have offspring for sale.

It is indeed, and most are WC imports that do feebly in captivity for the most part.

Thanks,

Arthroverts

They are really fragile so I’s stick to damon sp or phrynus if I were you

I breed them now in the 3rd generation CB and NOW it works fine, took me a lot of time and nervous. Once the situation in Europa is better, I may can offer you some offspring.

That would be great although surely they'd suffer being transported all the way from outside Europe?

During normal postal condition, for sure. Captive breed, stable animals, in good condition and sending JUST small juveniles and not the huge fragile ones, work out fine.

I paired my last remaining adult pair at the beginning of the year. I tried to check on her last week and couldn't see her behind her bark so I moved the container off the shelf to get a better look. Didn't realise she was in the process of extruding eggs, and she dropped most of the still liquid mass. Looks like a couple of eggs were saved and hardened, but I've not got high expectations for them hatching, they're not even fully underneath her abdomen. As Michael has said, they are easy to breed, so I just have to hope the female and the male remain healthy enough to try again. I'm in the UK and have sent decent sized juveniles to Europe with a good survival rate. I wouldn't want to try sending the adults, however I did receive 10 adults in the post when they were originally sold by thespidershop.co.uk and all arrived healthy

Cool this is all good to know thanks and I'll definitely make sure that I only ever purchase juveniles!
