[waruikazi]

[andrew_p]

[richoman_3]

haha thanks guys,
they eat crickets, and yes small children if your that cruel :O

 

[Sarah]

nice ! where do you find all these bugs ?

 

[hazza0]

i would hate to get stung by one of them

 

[Pinoy]

That is so cool, I'm gonna have to pick your brain about them now, you brought this on yourself lol.

Do you need a license to keep one and how hard are they to maintain and obtain?

 

[richoman_3]

being in Vic sarah we dont find these here, (only common cormocephalus species)
i buy most of mine .

@pinoy : glad to hear you like them , dont need any licence to keep inverts. what state are you in?, pedes are everywhere in bushlands if you know where to look , rocks,bark etc. They are fast so be prepared, quite simple to keep, cocopeat+ sand mix, make sure the container is escape proof, feed them crickets twice a week, easy
id doubt you will find any the colours ive been posting yet (morsitans), but you should find some other nice pedes! - tiger rubripes for example, BIG pedes which are comming in qld

 

[Pinoy]

I'm in Sydney and wouldn't know where to start to collect some?
Can you buy them anywhere?

 

[andrew_p]

have to take pictures or a vid of it eating

 

[Pinoy]

^^Second that^, would love to see it!

 

[richoman_3]

a few petshops sell rubripes (will post pics of them now )
but they usually want a high price, go to your local bushland mate, bound to find some cormocephalus

If you ever want me 2 hook you up with some W/C pedes, give me a yell. I step outside in sydney and they are everywhere. Might catch some for myself if its legal next time I'm up there anyway.
