Fascinating! But already struggling about her own webbing ^^.
A very nice and interesting spider. How venomous is this species? And will she web the enclosure completely?

Is there a difference between funnelweb spiders and tunnelweb spiders ? We have here a kind of such spiders,
but they are tiny. The webs are about 20 square cm, the spiders about 1 cm bodylength.

She'll web the entire tub. That's why I provided plenty of anchor points.

I'm not sure what the difference is between tunnel and funnel webs unless it's literally down to their web design.

Supposedly the bite is supposed to be painful but non threatening. So probably not as potent as my 2 Macrothele gigas (giant Japanese funnel web). I'm massively smitten with this lass already.

Thanks for your explanation, and I am curious how long it takes until the tunnel is ready .

The tunnel is built now. Just checked on her as I was feeding Zeus. She'll keep adding layers of silk though.

My newest pet has just arrived. A young Eresus moravicus. Absolutely stunning even at this size. Judging by the yellow flecks I've got a female.

These spiders are great, congratulation to the new member of your family .

That genus has cute faces.

My Eresus moravicus has taken her first feed with me. Also my Porrhothele antipodiana was hungry again.

They are, but you have very interesting species that are not so often seen ^^.
