orange huntsman

[dtknow]

Has anyone raised these from baby to adult. how long does it take? I have 3 that seem to be growing quite quickly...but they are still very small.

I take it no one has raised these before?

They are now able to take crickets slightly larger than pinheads since the local store did not have true pinheads available.

The correct scientific ( not Latin ! ) name of the Malaysian Orange Huntsman Spider is Thelcticopis modesta . Scientific names are most often compounds of Latin and Greek , as it is in the case of the spider in question .

Thanks for the correction Dr. I will have to remember that when I try to sound smart

I caught one of them eating another that as in premolt. So now I am down to two. So just because they have gotten along fine for along time doesn't mean they won't continue...(wow...I just learned that! :wall: )
