Looking for Velvet Worms at a reasonable price-any suggestions?

Hi, all

I recently decided that Velvet Worms were cool pets. I did some surfing and figured out that some people do own them-however, I can't find any for sale! Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

They pop up very very rarely on lists. Try PMing someone who owns them and maybe they can point you in the right direction.

I will say that, if you get the new zealand ones, they are notorious for being extremely temperature sensitive--high temperatures quickly kill them. Most successful keepers use a wine cooler.

Very cool animals - but expensive and difficult to keep. You may find this thread interesting: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/velvet-worm-vivarium-epiperipatus-barbadensis.294060/
