Info

Phrynus whitei, commonly known as the Whip Spider, is an intriguing arachnid species native to Central and South America. While they may seem intimidating at first glance, Whip Spiders are relatively low-maintenance pets when provided with the right care. Here's a brief guide on how to care for Phrynus whitei:

1. Habitat Setup:

   • Enclosure: Use a terrarium or a tank with vertical space for climbing.
   • Substrate: Provide a substrate of coco fiber or peat moss for burrowing.
   • Decor: Include branches, cork bark, or other hiding spots for security.
   • Humidity: Maintain humidity levels between 70-80% to mimic their natural habitat.

2. Temperature:

   • Keep temperatures around 75-85°F (24-29°C) during the day.
   • A slight temperature drop at night is acceptable, but avoid extremes.

3. Feeding:

   • Offer a varied diet of insects such as crickets, roaches, and mealworms.
   • Feed adult Whip Spiders 2-3 times a week, adjusting based on appetite and size.
   • Ensure prey items are appropriately sized, not too large to avoid injury.
