My spiders.

[Toxoderidae]

that little Phid is just adorable! It looks so pleasant and happy whilst munching on prey bigger than it.

They do look all chuffed with themselves somehow I agree.

Well my little jumper is a male.

In other news my Macrothele Gigas sling 2 has turned into a little monster. It was always the more cautious of the two but that's changed.

Just noticed Gandanameno sp sling 2 had shed.

Noticed the tiny Gandanameno sp sling 1 had shed and kicked the skin out. On retrieving it the spider came out so I gave it a feed. Managed to record it.

My red fang girl has laid an egg sack.

Congrats! Did you pair her?

No. And she shed a month or 2 ago too. I've emailed the supplier and I'll see what he says. I've no idea if she was wild caught or not. But with her shedding I'd have never imagined she'd go on lay eggs.

Just noticed a smart little web on some cork bark I bought. Managed the get a video of the occupant. Any ideas what it could be?

A screen shot of the spider.

After a quick look on the web (no pun intended) it looks to be a Segestria florentina.

Segestria Florentina (???) feeding.

I fed her a cricket yesterday which she took with great relish. Seemed it didn't quite fill her up and she's started to eat her egg sack.

Phidippus Regius out for a wander.

 

[basin79]

Managed to grab a few pics of my Phidippus Regius. I'm glad I got your get some more later hopefully.
