Somethink abaut Velvet worm :)

[Dinho]

Hi.
Recently I saw a program in which he was shown velvet worm. I
I became interested in them and would like to know whether it is possible to buy such a worm, and how much it costs.
On the Internet I found the different colors of these creatures and the most I liked the variety of blue and orange. Therefore, my question is where and for how much can you buy them.
I would also like to know something about the breeding of these creatures.

Thanks for the reply.
Regards Dinho

Some interesting stuff - there's been an observation of a velvet worm feeding on a tarantula:

Dias, S. C. & N. F. Lo-Man-Hung. 2009. First record of an onychophoran (Onychophora, Peripatidae) feeding on a theraphosid spider (Araneae, Theraphosidae). The Journal of Arachnology 37: 116-117 download from here

Abstract. A velvet worm (Peripatus sp., Peripatidae) was observed and photographed while feeding on a theraphosid spider, Hapalopus butantan (Pérez-Miles, 1998). The present note is the first report of an onychophoran feeding on "giant" spider.
