I plan on getting Phyrnus Whitei and have a few questions about its husbandry,
1. Is it as communal as species such as phrynus marginemaculatus.
2. Regarding breeding, what are the ideal conditions?
3. How long does it take for the species to reach sexual maturity, (What is its growth rate?)
4. How large does it really grow?
- The information I got varied, some said "4 inch leg span" which is quite ambiguous and others said "1 to 2 inches" is anyone able to quantify the size by body length and legs pan excluding the feelers?
5. Misidentification- Tailless whip scorpions especially the phyrnus can often be mislabeled- I got sold phrynus operculatus under the name phrynus marginemaculatus, and I also know within the species there are many "hobby forms" How can I verify the species?
6. Looking through other threads I gathered that they are more stationary and don't "wander" as much. Because of that, would a 4*4*8 acrylic terrarium work, or does the size need to be slightly larger?
7. General Husbandry advice?
8. Kinda off-topic, but while searching through classifieds I saw Canadian vendors that sell some less available species. Is it possible to ship across the border?
