Hey guys,

Just thought i'd share with you a few pics of my true spider. She is a Indian Lycosa sp. and has only had 1 mault, So i'm expecting her to get much bigger.

Hope you enjoy the pics

I like her, how big is she?

[JimmyVe]

She is really nice Steve.

Do you know what the max legspan is?

[SteveUK28]

well atm she is about 1.5cm span.. and she can get up to 6" span.. maybe a little more.. just been reading up a bit more on her too and ive been reading her venom is pretty toxic.. so i thinks i will be a little more carefull in the future

[Phasmid]

Just out of curiosity, what made you choose a true spider over a less venomous, and generaly more spectacular tarantula?

[McK]

Cool!

[SteveUK28]

dunno just liked the colouring really

Fair enough. I would have put it down to them being a visual hunter. Good luck with it, I hope it has a realy big appetite .

[SteveUK28]

well that too of course.. i do love the eye layout on her

I had one that just looked like yours

But mine was just a common big creepy spider from the country side.

Unfortunatly she died


I had 2 small ones, that made there webs, and i put male spiders and after some days of the male spider had desapered small tiny spiders apeared, but I left them there so the mother spider ate them all... LOOL

[SteveUK28]

unlucky lol... This little girl dont really make any webs but prefers to burrow. Then makes a very small web at the entrance of the burrow. I fed her around 4 small crickets yesterday within an hour they was all gone

[MoPe]

Then she really is a hungy thing...

I also like spiders but in my opinion ants are more active... I think because of their high amount of colony members there is always action and a spider can maybe get boring some time. What do you think? Is the spider boring or not, Steve? Feeding her seems to be a really nice thing, were the crickets you gave her alive and she killed them alone?
