I do have a group of Damon diadema, these are doing really well! Was wondering what other nice species that one can keep. Thanks!
I actually have Florida whip spider, only I just have one. I thought about buying more than one when I first got him, but the guy who sold it to me told him he keeps them communal normally but this guy was known for being a little bit of a cannibal.I am trying to find some actually! Who has any for sale btw? And how are the florida whipspiders?
I would do Damon medius. Though I am skeptical on wild caughts as the lifespan are more dependent on luck. Though on the other side one of my diadema slings died :'( not sure why tho the other six are doing really well. I have six, so I'm hoping I get a good mix of males and females!How about Damon medius? WC imports are still commonly available & captive bred babies are starting to be available. They seem to grow bigger than diadema. Their hunting technique is generally more blunt and aggressive if you like that kind of thing.
P. marginemaculatus(Florida whip spider) are easy if housed singly or given spacious room and tons of separate hiding spaces for a communal set up. Needs high humidity and I would not describe them as '(highly)tolerant communal' based on mine.
Just don't die, apparently the only semi-known US locality isn't in a very hospitable spot, where going after dark is heavily recommended against. It'd be awesome to get some though! There are a couple people in the US that have them now, so it'll be a few years before they get offered to the hobby.Good call! One day I shall find some acanthophyrunus!

I can vouch for Gil, he sells some awesome amblypygids. If you want good phrynids he's the guy (including Acanthophrynus!).Well, they are kinda being offered right now... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
