Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ghost" data-source="post: 50308" data-attributes="member: 3461">[USER=3948]@VonWorm[/USER],Regarding your question about P.platyomma I would say to get one for sure or any of the pamphos for that matter,Their a great species to have in your collection.As for care their pretty easy to keep, for slings go with what Therasoid said in his above post,for adults I keep one half of the substrate slightly damp and keep the hide half dry, I find that this works well and have had no problems with them,temperature 78-80 Fahrenheit and 65% humidity is fine.These are eating machines and hardly ever refuse food and have a fast growth rate,I've never seen a threat pose from any of mine they prefer to run and hide rather than stand and fight in my experience with them although somewhat skittish and flick hairs a fair bit and can move very quickly.Anyway I hope this helps you decide to get one of these species,and just to wet your appetite a bit more here's a couple of photos for you....P.platyomma Male[ATTACH=full]11057[/ATTACH]P.platyomma Female[ATTACH=full]11056[/ATTACH]Or you could also have a look at P.ultramarinus their just as good looking as the P.platyomma.Here have a look....P.ultramarinus male[ATTACH=full]11055[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
