Hello all,
Here are some pictures and videos of my Liphistius ornatus, all are captive bred spiderlings from the same brood besides the one adult shown in the video! They are doing well so I hope to begin carefully distributing them when weather permits. I have actively and passively been rehoming and distributing them into ten gallons (containing up to 10 individuals depending on size). I will add a brief summary on keeping them soon. I have learned a lot!
I love these things... far from a pet hole. The videos don't do them justice. Some of these things, even the adult female at times, have lines up to 3 inches long and launch themselves a great distance for food.
Enjoy!
