The holy grail of whip spiders!
Giant Mexican whip spider - Acanthophrynus coronatus juveniles
(IF YOU SEE THIS AD, IT IS STILL AVAILABLE. AND BEFORE YOU ASK - NO DISCOUNTS/TRADES)
I have juveniles of Acanthophrynus coronatus to offer, hatched in June 2021. They are very healthy and feed well on crickets and other insect prey. This species is absolutely stunning and long-lived (whip spiders can easily live for over 10 years). It is considered the holy grail species of all Amblypygi thanks to its size, colors, and undemanding husbandry. Very showy animal that is great for displays. This is a tropical arachnid, so it needs high air humidity and temperatures. Last photo shows an adult *for illustration purposes only*, adult NOT for sale.
Please note: despite what is seen in the photo, this is NOT an animal for handling. Acanthophrynus are extremely defensive and will jump off hands which can result in an injury to the animal. I am an Amblypygi expert who is experienced in working with these animals, but I do not recommend doing this.
Selling for $300 each. Yes, it is pricey, but that's as good as it gets for a whip spider. They are extremely rewarding as pets.
Price is firm, low-ballers will be ignored. I am not under pressure to sell, so please take your time. Pickup in Port Credit, Mississauga. If you want them shipped (at buyer's risk) - let me know your location and I'll get back to you with the shipping cost. *No winter shipping*. All sales are final. No Refunds. No trades. No discounts. No price-shaming.
