Kinda bringing a dead thread back, but I got one of these coming in next week and have a couple questions. I couldnt find much of anything on google about raising these guys or how to keep them. Can you tell me some good pointers or tips on how you are keeping yours, as far as humidity and what not. Thanks,

-CJM-

I've kept the animal pictured above (in the 90's everything that came from mainland South America was a gigantea ssp.), husbandry is fairly straightforward. Keep them at 75-80 with thick substrate and high humidity...I also noticed that they tend to be messier than their NA counterparts and need more attention cleaning wise. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have, feel free to respond or ping me.

Oh all of mine are long gone...I used to buy/sell them a lot in the mid-late 90s when they were coming in from Ecuador, Peru and Paraguay...back then average sized adults went for $30-60 retail, I was getting them from importers and wholesalers at $5-10. I only kept a few as pets, a few huge gigantea/robusta, along with what was a the time called angulata (I now believe it was hermosa) and one "viridicornis" (the Trinidad Giant Black, I think steven calls them the 'black robusta morph'). The last one died in 2001/2002. I actually bought a "robusta" back in 2004, the last time i know of them being available in the US, but I wound up selling that a couple years back. Boy...this kind of turned into my life story...sorry.

Oh and BTW...I'm as excited for Monday as you are

 

[cjm1991]

Haha no its fine its all interesting stuff to me. You got something special on the way monday?

 

[Comatose]

I don't want to jinx it by saying it out loud, but I am hoping that a specific species (or two) come in on Monday. I'm looking forward to seeing what lands and am psyched at the prospect. SA pedes really are awesome.

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Comatose, did you get anything?

 

[Comatose]

Not yet...seems as though the shipment was delayed until the begining of next year...rest assured I'll have pics up as soon as I do!
