Bites do hurt, never been bitten by an adult but got this from a <1cm baby and felt ill:

Nice 'pedes by the way, loving the Mutilans, had some a while back but they decided to eat each other instead of mate Crying or Very sad

I have like... 60 pedes at home and so far so good, i've not been bitten... yet! Definitely not the kind of pet you want to handle! What impresses me the most is how fast they are... Really stunning creatures.

Young gun, if you want to give it a try again, i always have specimens for sale... Cool

Cheers,

Mika

I don't breed them yet. i am studying them for my MSc., so i m lucky to do some in-depth work on them. I will start to look into breeding in a couple of months and hopefully get some results...
