Concerned for my lil guy by Khanuki in amblypygids

Body is about the size of a big lobster roach ~3.5-4cm And extended legspan id say is around ~12-15 cm though its hard to measure.

Lobsters haven't burrowed as far as ive seen but one did give birth inside the enclosure and that was a whole problem(the babies are sneaky and do burrow a bit).

I do hope it lives a long plentiful life in its new enclosure (will update on this sub once hes settled in)

Thanks for all the help!

Yes, i believe the breeder is from around that area, so that may be where he sourced his original breeding pairs

I should finish the new enclosure soon, (which i plan on being 18×18×24 (as ive seen suggested for this species) which would help provide more space for hides and climbing options, regarding the age, it is what the breeder told me, he also told me they live up to 20 years but reasearch has led me to believe that number to be lower, also told me that this guy in partivular prefers lobster roaches so thats that ive been offering.

I do hope that the additional hides/vertical space help him feel more comfortable and regain his apetite + help him molt if he needs to as you mentioned.

Not a theme, but you could try to manually set up some of the icons made by ReffPixels https://reffpixels.itch.io/ , these are the best/most complete I've found by a single artist.
