L. parahybinia or L. Klugi oxygen chamber

A lot of people Pooh Poohing you're mad scientist scheme, but I am on board. I say you go with a high oxygen super pressurized centrifuge. It will take about 20 years worth of selective breeding and possibly anabolic steroids or a nano tech supplemental exoskeleton but I believe in the project. How else are you going to create a stagecoach team of giant tarantulas ? Someone's got to make the sacrifices and I think you should be the Tony Stark of tarantula husbandry.

It worked on dragon flies.

To clarify, this is how you take raise o2 levels. Who would've thought that Amazon would have them?

Did you miss the part where they linked the 15% increased growth to tracheal growth? Spiders don't have tracheas or anything similar that can grow or not grow according to oxigen levels. Also it didn't work in roaches.
Also I want to see the original publication. Popular science reporting is notorious for sensationalizing and overblowing mediocre results.

Oh well if it worked on dragon flies the its got to work on t's as well, it's a waste of money, time and effort IMHO when you can raise the spiders in the traditional manner!

And that's it 15% - hardly worth the trouble - 8" LP - so you're going to go to all this trouble to have a 15% size increase, mmm...seems like a waste of time and effort!
