[QUOTE="Hypoponera, post: 290087, member: 1001"] This is one of my new species. Actually it is an unidentified species. The genus Salpidobolus originates from Indonesia. These guys are supposed to release a defensive fluid that can cause chemical burns! So far I have handled them several times and nothing bad has happened. I have 10 specimens, but all are immatures only 3 to 3 1/2 inches long. They should max out at about 8 inches and get fairly bulky. I really like the color! Too bad they spend most of the time under the surface. I have found that they like rotted Sumac wood. They are called "Irian Yaya" by European keepers. Don't have a clue why or what it means though.
