[Asgard]

Hello!

Sometime ago I saw a tv show about a samurai spider (done by national geo.). Nice little fellows. I've been on the internet trying to find them...but I can not find their scientific name (latin name)...can anyone help? also some information about them.

Thank you very much

kind regards

Can these be kept in a tank? How would you take care of one of these??

Your best bet is to put them in a corner of your house but I have speculated on keeping these.

Or get a "Nephila,ssp'' the females get very large and you can them in a corner of your room so it can build a web.
