wonder why I cant see em

 

[Randolph XX()]

can u see them now
well they r pretty rare
widely ranged in tw but hard to find one
more areesive than Haplopelma and faster
i think only local hobbysit from Taiwan or few in Japan have them

 

[Randolph XX()]

[Malhavoc's]

I hav 2 but not for sell
the mother was dead by accidents(female get bitten by the male during the mating, but she recovered, male was dead after few months )so my friend cannot breed them anymore

otherwise, he needs to go to some spots spend hours to get one from the wild
he only got 50 sling(and he sent them out to otherpsider keepers for free1)last time and it is the only time i ever heard about someone captive breed this spicies
let's wait and see.

Can someone tell me a bit more about their toxic ? :?
any good sites to visit ?


and what would be a good price for an adult specimen ?

 

[Randolph XX()]

well the toxic is pretty potent, but not as strong as M.holstli(classfication of Macrothele spider in Taiwan is still a mass, somebody said there's 5 species while others said more or only 3species exist)
4 years ago a 4-year-old boy got bitten by a huge wondering male almost lost his foot
price still remains unknown, mostly wild caught as far as i know
local aboriginals thought u'll be killed if u walked by the place that the Macrothele passed by.........
