My wolf spiders *lots of pics*

[Mithrandir]

nice videos, the male is indeed quite aggressive, or is that also because he has to molt? The female isn't aggressive at all?

I have the previous version of that camera, the Canon Powershot A75 (also 3.2Mp)... I must be doing something wrong I guess because my pictures aren't nearly as good as yours...

About that law, pretty stupid indeed. I can somewhat understand that they don't want import but housing spiders from your garden that's something else.

lol well italy isn't much better... it is illegal to own any kind of venomous invertebrate... this is beacause a retarded idiot who owned loads of T's used to play with them when finally he got bit and he eventually died cause he was allergic.... from that day on, which is from 2003, no one is allowed to own any venomous invert and they are not sold anymore....... that is stupid...:evil: :evil:
anyawys awesome spiders... here in italy there are some cool wolfs but nothing compared to those you have in brazil... congratulations for thepic

I want one!

Great pictures, look like they would make very intresting pets, highly active, nice to look at.
Is this species sold anywhere?

 

[Scolopendra55]

Some of the most amazing lycosid's I've ever seen :drool: :drool:

 

[Merfolk]

The one you handle never bit you? Since they have better eyesight, they might respond differently to your movements!!!

How much one would cost?

 

[spideromaniac]

Amazing creature and pictures.
Someone said that they would like to move to Brazil, I would'nt.
It is illegal to keep any spider or tarantula in captivity in Brazil.
It is a very serious felllony over there, "biologic crime" as they call it.
Some of my nicest T's are from there but a Brazilian citizen couldn't even keep one of them at home. :?
They have the wild one, we have the captive one, to each his own.

Big thumbs up for the pictures, they are incredible.:clap:
Thanks for sharing.:worship:

Are you serious? That is a pretty crappy law. So you can find these in your house but if you put them in a container you are breaking the law. Sounds pretty silly.

Bobby

It sounds crappy to us who collect inverts. but the fact is, the gov. in brazil is only trying to protect their fauna as well as it possibly can(which is something many other coutries should consider). Brazil has very strict wild life laws which can get annoying, but the fact is, it's the right thing to do.

 

[WithCerberus]

Misfitsfiend, I appreciate that Brazil is trying to protect their wildlife but in my opinion an outright ban on keeping invertebrates that are not threatened in any way is not a very good answer.

[Tarantula_Hawk]

yea they are trying to protect their wildlife but at the same time they are destroying big chunks of the amazon forest everyday....... :wall:
