    If that pic is indeed of yourself, then It's definitely true.

    Help me choose a spider

    You got some good points. I think I may just wanna see the mice suffer for hours on end while they die a miserable death. The spider is just the puppet executioner. If the spider get killed... well, I'll always be able to come by another one I suppose.

    Help me choose a spider

    All right, all right. I get it, i get it. It's now personal for some of you. That's fine to me. Get nervous. Give more hate. You are the only one being affected anyway, and I like that. Fools always get themselves killed. Eh, well its was nice to talk about all that useless stuff about...

    Help me choose a spider

    Interesting. People on internet forums really do go all out. It must be the protection of their PC screens, that give you all this gall to say whatever you think - no matter; I couldn't care less about this little rant. I'm here for info, not for digital friends nor to socialize. You are free to...

    Help me choose a spider

    I didn't got tge joke yet, but The username "Maus" was created referring to the Panzer VIII Maus, heaviest tank in history. Anyway, I can clearly see that people don't like the idea of feeding creatures made of "flesh and bones" to spiders. I don't get why though; it can't be "love" or...

    Help me choose a spider

    I sometimes still think that's not enough. If the tank is not shining and glowing then it's not good enough. Man, I waste way too many time brushing the glass walls with magnetic brushes. When I have to travel for a week straight I gotta leave the automatic feeder there, and I don't really trust...

    Help me choose a spider

    I'll take a time reading this entire thread for future reference when it's finished. I'll aim for hardy, forgiving, lowest maintenance and big spiders. If one grow big enought at some point, I think I would still feed the live mice (secured and defenseless) once in a while. It's completely legal...

    Help me choose a spider

    Maybe, but you gotta admit that a spider taking down mice, an animal made of "flesh and bones" is truly amazing. Anyway, thanks for the book recommendation. I like to read, and books are a very familiar way to gather knowledge.

    Help me choose a spider

    Well... it has worked for my cactus for 12 years now. I planted it on the ground and It goes strong to this day (despite the rains). Looks pretty healthy also. Don't really think that's gonna be the same with the spider though... Ummm... I live alone so there's no one else thay could be for. I...

    Help me choose a spider

    OMG, I'm NOT planning to leave my spider alone, sorry for the crappy mistake... Oh, I didn't knew mice were dangerous prey. There are plenty videos on YouTube on that, so I assumed it was alright. Maybe I should have said that I wanted a big, "forgiving" beginning spider that is slow and easy...

    Help me choose a spider

    I know guys, I'm just saying based on what I read on the internet before. The advertisement I got about spiders (and it surprised even me) is that you can leave them alone for a very long time. Seems that's not the case then, but I did read threads that some spiders refuse food for more than a...

    Help me choose a spider

    That's nice, but giving mice to spiders seem to be cool. I'll keep that in mind though. I'm aware that spiderling care should be more "intense", I mean something like less care when in adult state. Like if I need to travel for some months the spider will be fine without me.

    Help me choose a spider

    L. parahybana attends the size I want, but the C. cyaneopubescens is indeed more beautiful. Which one of those two would you guys consider to be easier to keep (in terms of humidity, more specifically)? And also, would a full size GBB take down mice to eat?

    Help me choose a spider

    Hey, I’m new to the hobby. I wanted some advice on what spider should I get. There are some requirements that it must meet, and I got a little confused while watching vids around. First thing is that it MUST be a spiderling. I wanna see its development through the years. I also don’t have much...

    Introduce Yourself

    Hey, I ah... I'm going to move to the UK soon, and having a spider always was something I tough to be interesting. I've noticed that they're allowed to be kept and sold openly in animal shops (or so it seems) in the UK. Is getting one a good idea? I have little time, but as I read on the...
