Some wonderful whip spider photos

[Banshee05]

That A. coronatus is awesome! First time they've been imported? Any chance of a size comparison photo? Hope you breed these in the future!!

Hi,
i will take some comparisen fotos soon, at the moment i don't want to stress the animal to much.

Why do some specimens of the same species have different size pedipalps, are they male or female or is each one just unique?

Where do they come from?

Hi,
in some species a morphological sexual dimorphismus can be seen in the size of the tibia, yes. in some species like Damon diadema, D.medius, D.variegatus, Euphrynichus bacillifer, E.amanica, etc. it is very present and easy to sex, in some other, the differences aren't so good, etc.etc.

Hi guys,
a little update.
Euphrynichus bacillifer - one of my five "carriing eggsac females"

 

[El Johano]

Awesome!
How many young are there? Looks like they produce rather few?

 

[Banshee05]

hi,
i don't know how much, most of them are on the dorsal side of the animal, so you cant see it at this pix.
and yes, the frist reproduction is realy "early". the species are just 20-25mm bodylenght, so quite little, also the bacilliform processes aren't build like in "adults"- but i think i have a wonderful species for some postembrynalic development here, etc.

thanks, i do my best to raise them every year. but it takes a long time to raise and breed some species.
but their are a lot more species out in the world, around 160 described species till yet, and i am sure that their are a lot more to find.
