Hi!
Very nice pics of a beautiful spider! :}
Have you been successful in raising the spiderlings to adulthood? The reason I ask is that myself and others have not been able to keep the spiderlings alive. They usually eat and grow well until they suddenly die for no reason. There has been experimentation with many different conditions but no success yet (as far as i know).
Cheers
Johan

Nice species for sure! I bred them, got my third eggsack right now
As El johan wrote, if you got any tips about raising the slings i appreciate it. They just seem to die off...

Did you read this? Its related to another Ctenid, but pretty similar to P. nigriventer... very interesting!

Thanks for that link! I have only read parts of it (late here) but seems to be very interesting! Seems that some ctenids are easier then others to raise for example spiderlings of the genus Cupennius are often bred and raised in captivity while others like Phoneutria seems so much harder.

Hi and Welcome to the Boards

I have been interested in these spiders myself but I never see them available in the USA.
When I sell my the house I'm living in now, I hope to expand my collection to these wonderful spiders.
I hope some of you all figure out how to raise the slings before I do. How long do these live?
Have any of you all got any raised to adulthood or is it 100% die off rate?

I know I'm asking alot of Qs here but I am interested in these

Phoneutria

I know that problem...

I`ve lost about 14 spiderlings... only 3 are left...

Damn...I hope they are the 3 musketeers

How large are the survivors? 4 of my spiderlings reached 2 cm in legspan before they died too

 

[Adnan]

Doubts, doubts... Phoneutria = Doubts!

How many time to the slings emerge? The eggsac is about one week old...

And one more pic of female for you

 

[NewGriot]

@El Johano

The same for me...noone`s about 2cm at this time...

I`m still hoping...

They emerge after around 30 days.
A friend of mine managed to raise around 10 to subadult age (they are still alive and now the critical period is over), he kept all communally with moderate moisture and temperature, gave them loads of fruitflies and small newly hatched crickets. Thats how I kept them but no one survived.
