Amblypygids, the whip spiders: flat, sideways-moving arachnids with no venom, no silk, and no bite worth the sentence, hunting instead with spined raptorial pedipalps and reading the world through enormously elongated feeler legs. Nothing else in the hobby moves like them.
The husbandry is vertical: cork bark and height, because molting happens hanging and a fall during the process is fatal. They flatten into crevices by day, hunt at night, and several species tolerate communal housing, which is rare among predatory arachnids.
Supply mixes wild-caught Mexican and Central American material with modest captive breeding, and availability comes in pulses. Within the genus the species trade close together, with size and locality driving the differences. The animals photograph poorly and fascinate in person, which keeps the market smaller than the keeping experience deserves.
The line on each tile: lowest ask per day.
Rarity BETA Rarity is supply, and only supply: the tier is how many sellers have ever carried a species, and for a single seller, how many separate listings. Price is not part of it, and neither is how recently it appeared. Tiers are given to tarantula species only.
