A friend of mine was at the big reptile/invert show in Hamm(Germany) he talked to a danish guy who sold one of these pedes. It was about 27 cm(11") and were probably a wildcaught specimen. He took a few pictures of it and I will post them as soon as I will get them. I saw them on his digital camera and they were truely beautiful.

Cheers!

Well I was the one who sold the big one in Hamm. We found it in India in the Metallica area a year before... we found a lot of small ones also, but this one was just to beautiful to let go... 2 years before we found some in Miranda area, but we never brought any home, I also saw it in the P. sp. Tigris area( i am almost sure it was the same species). so it seems that they are found in a big area in India...

Hi Henrik,

when you say you found lots of small ones, were they the same species? Do you have any photos of them in their natural habitat?

Cheers,

Maybe the one with the black head is hoaxed, but I have my doubts.
I was at the mall. Kids were hungry so we went to Chick-fil-A. The kid's meals came with wildlife books (Coral Reef, Meadow, etc.). One of them was "Rain Forest". This is probably inappropriate to scan and put up, but the book was free :) Delete it if you must. Photographer is Frank Greenway. The book is credited to Dorling Kindersley. To buy these books, go to dk.com
