Amblypygi - whip spiders

[Banshee05]

Thanks, so the adults won't harm the babies.

I don't think anyone has so much species! I'd like to keep a Phrynicus or Euphrynicus species, but don't know where to get them. Do you have any surplus?

hi,
yes the adults will normaly not kill the youngs, they are very social, as you can read also in...

i have some e.bacillifer for sale, and also p.orientalis, so in spring if the weather is fine, you can get some, or at the show in st.pölten- austria.

Oh, that would be great! I'll contact you when the weather turns good (I don't think I can to St. Pölten).

This may be my favorite thread on these boards. There are very many useful photos and helpful reference info. Thanks for all who participate!

Banshee05, you should have a book printed with all your great photos and associated information to each species. It could make a very nice compendium.

Hello,
this will me hopefully soon possible, but first i want to gratuate, then maybe a PhD and then i start writing books, hehe, cause earlier it isn't fair and not in my mind to tell others "how to do that" when i am still a "hobbiest".

@AbraxasComplex: what species? do you have pix? i mailed you some time ago, please answer

here are two new pictures of p.longipes

 

[AbraxasComplex]
