my new Amblypygids

while i'm in the mood for posting pictures.... here's my Malaysian Amblypygids sp.

whip spiders? cool.

yeah this is the paler colour variation... every other one i've seen, including my old one was a lot darker... but have seen pictures of them being brown/gold in colour. Would love to get my hands on that variation.

i have wanted one of them for years!!! but cant fingd them in the UK
they must be hard to look after!

Nice these things are awesome ive been looking for for a while i think ken the bug guy has them but i have a hard time geting my dad to order things of the internet

naah easy! if you've ever had an emp you can manage one of these.... so easy! same temp, humidity but can live slightly dryer, peat/vermiculite mix substrate and a piece of bog wood for it to hide under.
feed once a week no artificial light needed they prefer it fairly dark. just heat mat needed.

And i have never had one snap at me... they get spooked they run under your hand.. or once under my armpit which tickles like hell!!!

were actually in contact with someone to jointly import a load of these beauties to the uk coz they're so hard to come by and i know a few people after them.

they will be £10 plus special delivery @ £6.99. I've known these sell for £25+ coz they're pretty rare in the pet trade. it will be later on this year though.

Anyone interested please pm me your email (preferably your msn addy) there is already a waiting list so it will be first come first served.

I dont mean to be rude but dam they're ugly =o) hehe.To each thier own I supose.

its commonly known as a whip scorpion right, if it is then you can get them in north yorkshire just outside of harrogate in a shop called creature feature, they are prety good and can get you pretty much anything, he also keeps d.w.a species
altho he does charge £29.99 but he has them in stock everyday

jeeze that is expensive!!!!! a lot cheaper when you have friends in the know!

it is a bit, but i like to go to him because he aint like a normal pet shop owner, he actually cares for his creatures, im happy at the moment because he sent me a message telling me that he would be able to get hold of a vinegaroon for me i aint too sure about one yet but still

we get our arachnids from thespidershop.com we always get very healthy specimens and some rare ones too because lee is well connected. hense the U. granulatus im getting tomorrow... very few of them about!

yeah i agree they are hard to get hold of, i have thought about using thespidershop.com but i havent made up my mind yet, its good to know he is good though, i only found them recently because i decided to join rep forum uk and theres an add on there for them

yeah you can also get hold of him on msn messenger too if you have any problems.he also accepts BTS discount. Top lad!

excellent i think i will oreder something from him maybe a Haplopelma lividum, they are beautiful

30 quid is pretty expensive -- I got mine for $15, and most around here go for $20. (I just fed her today -- she loves those cockroaches! )

Looks like you need to get your boys some lady-friends.

oooooh yes!
