they are very cool thing's to keep, if you want to handle them then an emperor would be best as most are quite docile whereas the asian forest's are pretty defensive.

yea the forest variety emperor's are quite a bit bigger than the savvanah/grass land emperor's, problem is it's going to be almost impossible to find an female for him due to the import ban so plan to get a female emperor to breed with him which should hopefully produce some big offspring.
a pinch would be fairly painful i think, once emp's get to a certain size they stop using the stinger(teslon) so if they cant overpower the prey with the claw's(pedipalp's) they don't eat.
ive got a paper somewhere about a study into them not using the singer after they get to a certain size will try an find a link an post it up |
