Book suggestions

I recently finished reading “Spiders of the world, a natural history” and loved it. I was wondering if anyone had any books pertaining to spiders that they enjoyed that I should add to my collection?

biology of spiders by rainer foelix is full of fascinating information.

biology of spiders by rainer foelix is full of fascinating information.

i was going to say that. I read it and it is definitely relevant. Especialy the chapters about the digestion.

i loved it. You learn a lot about how they “function”, and that applies to how we do husdandry. Because once you understand all those things, a lot of situations that would cause a keeper anxiety, don’t as much.

it builds a good knowledge base, and gives a keeper confidence. I know its mostly true spiders, but i think the tarantulas have similarities.

after reading it last year, i never had any questions about why my tarantula had fluids in their mouth opening.

I can also recommend the Foelix book, really interesting.

I'd recommend Spiders: learning to love them, by Lynne Kelly. It's pretty simple in terms of knowledge but I still really like it!

I recommend "Biology of Spiders" as well but the terminology and taxonomy in it is sometimes old since the latest edition is 15 years old. Still an amazing book of course.

Other than that, "The Lives of Spiders" by Ximena Nelson is nice. "The Little Book of Spiders" by Simon Pollard is a cute pocket book with cute illustrations and good information.

I didn't read it yet but "Everything You Need to Know About Spiders" probably is good.
