They are definitely hardier than the Theraphosa in captivity, but they're found in nearly the same environments as Theraphosa in the wild (humid and damp).
Some newer additions.
I've been nursing this Scolopendra gigantea back to health. It came in with some loss of control of its hind end, and it seemed to be unable to retract it's reproductive and excretory organs. It's getting better, and if it makes it through the next molt it should be 100%...
I just sold off most of the P. longipes babies, unfortunately. I have a D. diadema whose babies just molted into second instar, but she only had 7 of them lol.
Yeah, it's very cool. I only see it once in a while despite having over 50 of them.
The P. longipes babies have molted into second instar, including the ones that fell off their mother.
Thanks, but nothing close to some other collectors! I'd have way more species if I didn't have these space constraints. Yeah, I sold the Chicken Spiders, but you can still see updates on them on Jon3800's channel (I may have gotten his username wrong). I had to sell them to make space for other...
It's been a while. These aren't Ts, but it's my picture thread! (I'll get T pics soon, I don't have many left.)
Heterophrynus batesii
Female Phrynus longipes with eggs.
Damon medius female.
Freshly molted Damon diadema.
Eurphrynichus bacillifer.
Acanthoprhynus coronatus.
Extremely...

Here's the last pic I got of the H. pulchripes before I sold it, and the Chicken Spiders to Jon3800. I will definitely be owning a few of these again in the future.
Exactly what I'm planning to do; get a 1.1 pair of P. metallica. But I've spent enough for now, as I have a ton of amblypygids coming.
Here's something to lighten things up a little. Freshly molted (3 days) H. pulchripes.
