TAILESS WHIP SCORPION

(Reader Contribution to 10 Most Disturbing Animals on Earth)


One of the largest of the tailless whipscorpions, the Giant Tailless Whipscorpions are great for the experienced keeper's collection. Due to having a gentle disposition they are also good for the beginner. Though they are harmless, these bizarre-looking creatures are fast and agile and somewhat delicate. They can pinch with their claws but rarely do, choosing to run away instead.

With their appearance recently on a number of TV programs, tailless whipscorpions have enjoyed an increase in interest over the last year or two. Notably after their notorious appearance on TV's Fear Factor, they became a much sought after pet by invertebrate keepers.
