Pictures Other Inverts

This first one, I love! I want one!

I assume you don't/can't really handle them?

I don’t handle. Out of my guys the violet would be safest to handle. The heros has the strongest venom out of mine & wouldn’t recommend getting bit by it lol

Can you please enlighten us as to what this is? On closer inspection of the picture, to looks to have almost scorpion-like pincers

It's called Thelyphonida.

Its a tailless whip scorpion like you found out. Its neither a spider or a scorpion. It’s also not a Thelyphonida. My friend has one of those and I don’t really like the look myself. You can handle the tailless whip though. It has no venom and is pretty harmless. They are fast as shizz Took me like 5 minutes to figure out where it went when I was putting it away. I poked it and tada gone He is missing part of one of his arms but it wasn’t the femur so should grow back in a molt or two.

@riddick07 do they eat the succulents?

Wow! Inverts are so neat! I used to have millipedes, I had a smokey oak millipede and a bumblebee millipede.

They are carnivorous so I dont think they would.

Mine are fake but I don’t think they would eat a live one either. They have been documented eating fruit in the wild & many keepers offer fruit in captivity. I haven’t tried yet myself. Seems to be a bit of a debate if it’s actually beneficial but doesn’t seem to hurt anything.

They are definitely cool! I haven’t had any millipedes yet but I’ve seen the pink dragon one posted around & that ones really interesting.

I believe pink dragons are among the kind that produce cyanide- so you might want to be careful if you ever encounter one!
