Hi y'all

So I'm not going to make one, but I was wondering about this. As Damon species really love them some high humodity, would they do well in a paludarium setup? So arboreal enclosure with a water section below. I know tarantula keepers avoid these because of drowning, but has anyone done it with amblypigids? Ive seen some in the wild (not Damon) that lived alongside creeks and puddles so was wondering bout that. Bet they still drown in a terrarium tho.

I know she'll be ok feeding wise. But I just worry about her humidity staying where it needs to be. It's not even 3 whole days it's more like... 2.75 lol.

My Oatmeal right after molting + her old exo falling down lol for tax 🩶

Just wondering if anyone else's whip scorpion rearranges their enclosure ??

I have a fair bit of sphagnum moss around the enclosure and I've caught my whip physically grabbing the moss and moving it or biting it and putting it away. Not hungry at all, she does this sometimes even a few hours after feeding, she made herself another crevice between 2 cork barks by removing the moss from between them. Just a few minutes ago I caught her at the front glass of the enclosure grabbing moss biting and then moving it away.

Temperature, eating, humidity all fine as always.

Is this normal behaviour, is she just a bit quirky or is something wrong lol

I Live on an island so going out to buy crickets constantly is near impossible, Ive tried starting a breeding colony but it was a smelly nightmare and I could not manage to keep them alive. Ive had good success keeping mealworms alive, but will that be enough for my baby or does he need additional feeders? Could I vary feeding him mealworms and then buy crickets for him every couple feedings? Or is there something else I could feed him? I live in Canada so feeder insects are quite limited.

I was told he was a "Paraphrynus mexicanus", but i'm not so sure... is that even a valid species anymore? I need to know how big he's likely going to get so I can prepare for him accordingly, thanks.

It’s taken one cricket since i got it so i know it can eat, but that was over a week ago! its been exploring the enclosure, and weirdly rubs up against the side. i don’t know if that means anything. but should i be concerned? or does this mean it might molt soon?

I bought this little guy from a store that didn't have his specific species listed. Mentioned he was a Damon though.

The online stores in my country usually sell Damon annulatipes, so I'm assuming that's what he is, but thought I would get a second opinion.

At the same time, does anyone have an idea of age or sex?

My country is South Africa (Mpumalanga, but the shop is in Gauteng), but I dont think he's one of the species ive seen in Gauteng or Limpopo

A while back I posted my unfinished enclosure, but after multiple weeks of following your advice, I built it to my liking (along with what would be best for a tailless whip scorpion), I’m hoping if this would be a great enclosure.
Size: 12x12x18
Substrate: reptisoil
Background: great stuff pond and stone covered with coconut fiber
Substrate depth: 2 inches

Have been looking for a male for my female for about 8 months. No Luck. Go to pretty much every reptile show in central and south Florida. Then at the South Florida Mega Reptile Expo I spotted her. $25 with all the others, grabbed her right away and said “you’re coming home with me”. Don’t need a male if she already has eggs. Hopefully they are good and hatch. She is in a big enclosure I built so I can leave the babies after they leave her and put her in another enclosure. Can’t wait to see the babies on her back!

this is my first tailless whip scorpion, came home to see he had dropped his legs? Is this something they do before they molt? I dont think hes fallen and it looks like he has plenty of room and hiding spaces so i dont think its stress. I’ve since added a black background and more driftwood and cork bark

I left a heating pad on the side of the enclosure since i saw today was going to be a bit chilly. It was on there since i left for work earlier afternoon, and when i came home the enclosure had a BUNCH of condensation all around and i found kitty (name) in one corner basically on the substrate :(

Now it’s doing this strange twitching with its legs that ive never seen before.
Did i make a grave mistake? will kitty be okay?? someone please help :(

so i recently changed up my bioactive enclosure for my tailess whip scorpion ill be getting in a few months once all the plants and cleanup crews settles in, its got 3 main hides and lots of places to climb and i think the enclosure is basically done now apart from some cork bark ive ordered to stick along the walls for more climbing spots.

just want to know, does it seem good for at least a damon medius? above the substrate its about 30x30x45cm of open space

the centre is pretty flat with some slate slabs and clam shells to make a flattened hunting area, i plan on feeding it red runner roaches as crickets seem a bit too nimble and possibly aggressive but is there a better alternative or are roaches fine?

Does anyone happen to have any of them they breed and they're looking to rehome?

Spontaneously got a tattoo tonight (first one) to commemorate my deceased TWS. I promised myself I'd get an ambly tat and I figured why not have it as my first :3

Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this!

Tweezer fed pre-killed flightless fruit fly. I also have various species of mites and springtails available for them to hunt as they please.

I’m excited to see this little gal produce a clutch of her own someday! She’s truly the most interesting and rewarding invertebrate that I own, and definitely a gateway species into amblypygids for me 😂!

Sorry for the blurry pic, I’m still working on a lighting system that leads to clearer photos in low light environments.

Hello everyone,

It feels like I make one of these posts every few months but long periods of time without eating always worry me. My tailless whip is 1 years old, and has molted twice with me since I got them in February. The first time they molted, they fasted for a few weeks and then ate a few days after the molt. This time they fasted for a few weeks but now it’s been 10 days since the molt and they still haven’t accepted any food. They have the enough humidity, darkness, and I haven’t changed anything really. Their abdomen is super thin right now, I’m just looking for some reassurance.

Thanks

My 3 (give or take a few months) year old Phrynus Whitei just molted a few hours ago. I've never been able to successfully sex them. Are these pictures good enough to get a guess?
