They're so unique, so venomous and only found on that tiny island. Such a mystique around them

I never see the Golden Lancehead ranked with other top venomous snakes, but it has such a hype of being super venomous and melting skin. Is there any studies on how their venom ranks with the other deadly snakes?

Pretty sure the species around here is Aphonopelma Anax, but just what I've personally came to the conclusion of. But this is a midsized hole for the type of tarantulas we have here so it's about medium sized. Saw this hole during the daytime covered with web so went to go see at night time and...

Yeah you really shouldn't worry about 3 days, spiders aren't like humans and they're built to last months without food if that's what it takes, it's what helps them survive in the wild. Never kept a jumping spider so I don't have the best advice on them, I know for any spider though 3 days...

Oh yeah just throwing it out there, I've been here a while I know the rules and I didn't post a thread about crocs. But yeah it's just some friendly information about the spiders natural habitat and the dangers around it, this thread is about the spider mentioned. And well part of what we've...

No hostility meant, thanks for the good well rounded input I'm glad to hear you have first hand experience of your own journey in AUS, but yeah no way you catch me at an Australian beach in the water lol. Estuarine crocs are definitely another one of those things I wanna see since although we're...

Man go take your self righteousness somewhere else, besides how many people drive cars and how many people go out in the wilderness? Plus cars are controlled by humans, all I would have to do is swerve if I wanted a wreck, humans can set themselves on fire if they wanted too. I'm not from...

For a long time I've been intrigued by the Sydney funnel web spider, mostly because of their body mass for a spider, aggression, notoriety, and in large part to the fact I can't obtain one (Illegal in U.S) :bruised: I've always liked coming things that were dangerous to my health like Black...

Nice :) looks different from the ones here in TX, definitely a great looking one though I would love to come across these in the outdoors

Gotta love Orb weavers, I've never kept one other than when I was a kid and didn't know much about keeping anything besides they ate bugs. But in the summer I get to see some nice webs

Found this one in a pretty good spot about an hour ago, nearby I saw a baby praying mantis as well as a few other smaller spiders wandering around so hopefully somewhere out there in the darkness under the stars it's feasting as I type this up.

I would, but as I said when I posted this was just a hole I took some snapshots of, there's so many holes around where I live that I have to watch where I step when I go out at night lol. So sadly this is all up for speculation, I think each viewer should take it as they see it, I definitely...

Where I'm at yeah they're pretty common, I'm in the southwestern part though which is desert and a lot of open land so here they do pretty well especially this year I assume since we've been getting rain & grasshoppers and the likes have been thriving. Not sure where you're going though I assume...

One does not just simply, stop the ants. Jk I threw in a joke since the rest of the thread seems to have you covered, in my old apartment I used to have all types of things come in (to the point I was checking my sheets thoroughly for scorpions & brown recluse before bed!) but I sprayed...

Yeah I was mixed up with a black widows marking absent mindedly and I see what he did there talking about a reclusive "hourglass" lol, anyways one has an hour glass, the other has a violin, both have something to distinguish them and both are native to my area, I've been out of the hobby for a...

pics continued

Came across this black widow just inside a burrow, maybe it felt a vibration of me, a mosquito, or just wanted it's photo taken but it came out to investigate and I got some pretty good pics of it before the mosquito police came and said party's over.

Great spider, that thing looks mean! I'm gonna have to go to Australia one day lol you guys got some unique things thriving out there

yeah definitely, since I see so many I found it more cool to see one claiming territory in a burrow, but I'm sure if not tonight then one of these nights I'll find one on the wall near a spotlight. Ground roaming ones you have to look for a bit more since they blend in with the ground but I'll...

Good idea, I haven't seen many pics of them other than in enclosures as well. I'll have to find one and get a better picture though hopefully with that mean looking face of theirs and the hourglass in full display lol.
