So amazing to watch! Its crazy they can get themselves out. and they use their other legs to pull out the whips.

That was so cool! I shared it on my Facebook page. It's not something you get to see everyday.

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.

I may end up expanding my amblypigy collection soon..its like you said though, space constraints. Very cool little creatures, they don't get enough love. My adult D variegatus are absolutely wicked looking when they strike prey. Love your collection of aliens!

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.

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 also got a snake. (I know the fuzzies are too small, but I had them lying around so I gave her a few in a single meal)
