Abigail Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hello fellow spider fans, I had the pleasure of keeping a female tunnelweb (P antipodiana) in a terrarium for about 7 months last year - she was so beautiful and it was just fascinating to watch her eating, digging and spinning :-) She successfully mated with a male I popped in and raised some wee fellas up to the stage where they were just beginning to venture out of the tunnel and check out the world. All was just great to observe :-) I'll try and post a pic of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Awesome, Abigail! Hmmmm, spider terrarium..... sounds cool. What did you feed her with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I cant remember if I have posted on this thread before but I am currently caring for a mexican red knee tarantula, a goliath bird eating taratula, a pair of rose tarantulas, a katipo, about 25 avondale spiders (and 9 babies), a white tail, 2 water spiders and a nursery web spider, I think thats it...

Abigail Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hey Stella, its me, Amber I finally gave in and signed up :-) I fed her adult mealworms mostly as someone was growing them in the control temp room next door (lazy) but she got a few isopods here and there as well, never got her to eat a snail... Did you not meet her when you came to visit? davidb, I wish I was yooouuuu :-) are your water spiders aquaticus? I been working in a stream thats got heaps and heaps of Dolomedes III, they're pretty impressive looking spiders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatMike Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 might have to drive by and see if it is still there. yep its still there.the seedy bar is still there aswell :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 :lol: Hi Amber! Now keeping Dolomedes aquaticus would be very very cool..... Am going to start a mealworm culture soon (am moving at the start of Jan and will have more room for cultures. I am sure the neighbours will love the mossie larvae!) Maybe I did meet her when I first visited you at massey? Don't think I saw her but saw her apartments. EVERYONE wishes they were DavidB (btw I have that dead freshwater crab ready whenever you want to pick him up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
