Animal exports from Thailand are quite common. A lot of fish in the pet trade come from Thailand and so are some birds as well. I've heard a lot of wildlife have been destroyed recently as urbanization and construction have been taking a toll on the wildlife. Other than the protected wildlife parks, a lot of the wildlife is slowly disappearing from what I hear. Now this is just what I heard, but I don't live there like you do, so maybe some insight on that would be interesting.
Speaks for itself about the diligence of law enforcement, at least when it comes to animal exploitation.
Thelyphonus sp. “Uthai Thani”
Any update on your Uthai Thani? I'm also picking one up shortly but can't find much about their care. How do you keep yours and has it been successful?
a really easy species- just give enough substrate to dig, pack it down a bit so the burrow won't collapse on itself- give them decent ventilation with HIGH HUMIDITY which is like soil slightly damp to the touch but not wet, they desiccate easily
