I have three Australian species of spiders, two tarantulas and a wishbone spider. A lot of advise relates to the relative size of the spider (like size of feeder crickets).
Issue is, all three of them are burrowing kinds and probably nocturnal too. I haven't had a good look in months.
What's a good way to judge their body lengths?
I can sometimes see the back of the tarantulas hanging near the top of the burrows, but it they are facing me abdomen first as though they're trying to moon me.
Is there a way to use circumstantial evidence to determine how large a spider is? (like the diameter of a burrow's opening?)
