Thanks. I've been wanting one for a really long time and finally have the $$ and the space for it.

It's a really wicked invert!

www.goldenpheonixexotica.com has vinegaroons. I think those are the same thing as whip scorpions.

No I believe whip scorpions are also called cave spiders for their long antennea appendiges

The arachnids with an elongate body that posses bulky pedipalps and a flagella-like structure at the end of the abdomen are of the order Uropygi, which are commonly known as whipscorpions, vinegaroons, vinegarones, or uropygids. An example species would be Mastigoproctus giganteus.

The mainly arboreal arachnids with stout bodies and very elongate legs with usually spiny pedipalps that have the first pair of legs modified as extremely long and thin feeling organs are of the order Amblypygi. These arachnids are commonly known as tailless whipscorpions, whipspiders, cavespiders, or amblypygids. An example species would be Damon diadema.
