Breeding the World's Largest Arachnid: Amblypygid Husbandry

Who could forget the arachnid with a legspan of two feet, if they were a knowledgeable arachnologist? The Order Amblypygi not only houses species that hold world records, but also some of the most astonishing looking members of the Arachnida class. Often referred to as whipspiders, these creatures seem to have been created in the depths of a terrifying nightmare, and yet they pose no harm to humans, unlike other large arachnids. Predatory whipspiders exhibit advanced social behaviors and have externally visible reproductive biology that is incredibly complex. This text provides cutting-edge biological information, complemented by Scanning Electron Micrographs and unmatched documentation of captive reproduction through photographs.
