Just went through this entire thread. Gorgeous animals. They look so alien with all those spike-like appendices everwhere, yet are so fragile really. Lovely pictures, mate.

This is really interesting, my barbadensis double clutched and laid a second sac for me. It’s hard to see but I’ve never heard of a report of them double clutching before, so I’ll be interested to se how this goes. I’m expecting her to drop the sac in a few weeks/months but until then we’ll see

in my keeping experience over 20years now, EVERY single second eggsac without molting/mating again, was dropped, even soemtimes really late and close after a 'normal' hatching duration

I’m expectung that to happen, she’s long due for a molt. Hopefully she’ll drop the sac intact, I’m hoping to preserve the sac when she does

What size are the adults of your Phrynus Amblypigy? Been thinking of getting them myself.

Paraphrynus laevifrons, I think I got 2 females but the genital operculums look really different from each other

The first operculum looks male to me, personally, but I agree the second is definitely female.

Paraphrynus laevifrons spermatophore, a very good sign, although I think these may need some environmental cue to drop eggs
