[Kittycat784]

really? cool how much a peice would you want for one? any idea on shipping costs as well? I never bought anything that needed to be mailed. I am still interested in buying one you can always PM me or e-mail me if you would like.

I think Tanzanian Tailless Whipscorpions are really interesting inverts. Which is why it was even more difficult to see them devoured on primetime television.
On a lighter note...

You are the first person to drool over this.
Everyone else that has seen says it is the most disgusting thing they have ever seen.

I wouldnt say that they are disgusting, just odd. But that adds to their charm. When I showed a picture of one to my mom she shocked me. She said that they were actually "pretty" Mind you this woman is disgusted by hamsters. lol

Whips

Uuuhh....nice pic.

I like whipspiders so much...
They are easy to keep....ideal for beginners in the spiderhobby.

I allready have 3 species of whipspiders...

-Damon diadema from Tanzania
-Heterophrynus gigantaeus from French Guayana
-Euphrynichus bacillifer from Kenia

And I`m still looking arround for more species...

I won't post them till they molt. I'd hate to jinx myself and I can't feel good about selling them till then. Here's a small section of a pic on them molting out from hatchlings (the whole pic will probably be in the next arachnoculture ).

 

[Elytra and Antenna]

These are captive bred, not captive hatched. The mother I reared from a captive hatched I got in 01

NewGriot,

Thanks!

tazanian tail-less whiptail scorpions are very interesting arachnids, but now the public know them as "african cave-dwelling spiders" thanks to fear factor making those people eat them alive. i felt sorry for the whiptails! i have had no experience with any (big surprise), but everyone else says they are easy to keep, why not?

 

[Rob1985]

II am also drooling over it I want to get one. I first saw them on Fear Factor. They are pretty cool. How much do they run?

 

[Elytra and Antenna]

They are taking longer than I had expected. The first one finally started the second molt on March 1st and since that time 7 have molted.

 

[bagheera]

I can't offer any advice, I'm just drooling over the pretty picture. Don't mind me. :drool:

I too am drooling. I am still trying to limit the number of critters. It was supposed to be kept to one Tarnatula! It* may have remained so, had my "female" B. smithii not turned out with palps! LOL. Dean Pittman at NW Inverts got my male, I got back OBT and L. parhybana---I *almost* asked him send me a TWS, yes he has them! He is great to deal with!

*And I don't think that the rosie that was left in my care actually counts.

E.bacilifer

E.bacilifer spiderling from Kenia.
Only one animal left...

 

[cacoseraph]

awesome
i think there needs to be a horror character with hands like that!

 

[smalltime]

Newgriot...I'm interested to know where you got this species.... And how I can get them....!!! :worship: Please PM me...

 

[brachy]

She is my amblypigi. What is her sex ?? I think she is Damon variegatus?? Is that real?? Please help me. Thank.

 

[NewGriot]

D.variegatus

Hy brachy

Your D.variegatus is a male.

It`s defenitely a Damon, but I can`t say if its a variegatus or a diadema.
Need my Book of answers, it`s @home right now.
I try to find it out later...

Greetings

I picked up 3 of these at the white plains show. They are very very small.

Are they really small? I almost got one a year ago at a West Coast Reptile show and it seemed pretty big. I would say a 6 or 7 inch legspan at the least. It was labeled "Tailless Whipscorpion" and they were asking for $7 for it. I've often looked back on that and wished I had gotten it... ah well, guess it's better to stick with what I know - T's.

But for the most part everyone at the show that day was flocking over to view this particular arachnid because it looks so very unique. I know I was impressed by it.

As far as Fear Factor goes, don't even get me started with that show...
