do trapdoors eyes shine at night?

[lychas]

just wondering, do trapdoors eyes shine at night? a guy says he collects trapdoors by shining lights on them and their eyes reflect, as far as i know wolfies only do that

Many spider species have a tapetum. The reflecting layer in the eye. The main eyes mostly miss a tapetum. I know Liphistius species also have a tapetum. Not shure for other families.

Where does he collect them?

I definitely noticed that with the Liphistius, really cool! But unless that guy is collecting wandering males, I don't see how that would help him with trapdoors. Is he finding the males and following them to the females?:?

i think hes just finding wolfies, alot of the "trapdoors" he has sold turned out to be dolomedes sp
