Hi all,
After keeping a unknown species of Aussie T several years ago, it sadly died a few months after buying it (suspecting it was a mature male when I bought it) he was quite expensive and I went on without any T’s for a while.
Untill a few weeks ago i decided to take the plunge again and I...
Awesome, i'm nearly 15 too :D
Thanks a lot for your info, I think the t will be below 30mm.

Hey all,
Well iv'e bought my 1st Aussie T from the Green Scorpion,
its a Phlogius sp. "Goliath" and i'm wondering what size enclosures they need, what the temp should be, how big they get ect.
Does anyone else have this species?
Thanks :D
Hi sorry for my late reply,
lol by squeezing it through I mean picking her up and putting her up to the hole.
Any way she did eat when she was guarding the egg sac you just had to put it in the web.
The spiders hatched and I think there sharing food with the mum, a few escaped so i put them...

Cool you have badge huntsmans, iv'e always wanted to see one of them.
Hey oli,
Well i tried it out, i put a small cricket near and she just threatens like any other sized creature. Also a weird thing happened a few days a go,

Hi sorry I haven't posted for a while i've been pretty busy with school and stuff haha.
Thanks Oli, there is so much I don't know about these spiders!
Just wandering can a female huntsman ever be to old to mate?
and my pregnant females abdomen seem to be getting big and then shrinking again.
Yay for the second time, I found a mature female and they are now mating :)
PS what are some signs that a female is pregnant, apart from a growing abdomen?
Haha, well I just killed a cockroach and put it with my male,
He ate it, he alway seems to like dead insects.
If the female runs away from the male does this mean the female is mated?
Huntsmans FTW ;)
I am a bit confused because in lots of spider books a pieces of information it says
that when a male spider casts his final moult he will cease feeding and divert all his energy to finding a mate.
My male huntsman is resting under bark right now and its night.:confused:
could he be making one of those webs?
He is not eating now I put a large cockroach in with him and he ignored it.
