I thought I would create a thread for photos of Amblypygi, just because the are so obscure to the arachnid keeping hobby. I have been looking at the diversity of these amazing animals, and have found that they come in many interesting shapes and colors. Here are a couple sites with photos to start off:

I don't know. They arn't my photos, and the website was in another language.

I love that photo of the mexican species with babies john! What do you call the babies? Amblypygid-lings?

Hi,

It´s Heterophrynus giganteus.

Greetings,

Stefan

I dont know the latin names, But I want them anyway! The are the most amazing arachnids I have ever seen! It's really to bad that whipscorpions are not widespread in the hobby.
