do you not get the "funnels" around your house? the good ones are in the sweet safe spots.. like the retreat into the drain in a small space. I just find a very fine pice of grass or some termites or something to coax it out.. if you put a deli cup down ontop of the web it will seal it in there then you just lid it and voila! I find it funny that they are easier to find here where they are an introduced species.than there where they originated. my new F iI found running acrioss my livingroom is still so pale from her last molt her legs look blue!

I see. well I get huge males inside. a couple years back was a good year for them and they were showing up at 4" plus.. crawling across cielings and everything it was pretty crazy.. more like 2-3" this year.. but I catch my females oputside.. in the rockwall or beside the house. do you guys coax them out of funnels to catch them? I have found the BEST ones are in parks around here.. they live in the old growth tree stumps that are still around here.. and there are dozens of them.. its like a giant spider tower.. and those ones seem to be very voracious!
Oh we get the funnels i the shed, thats where i found this one. Im not looking for females in particular, Im just wondering why theres more males than females, and thats all the species I find(Apart from a wolf spider I found carrying an egg sac)
I decided to let the Tegenaria go back where i found it, as when mature tey dont live for very long, so its only fair he should have a chance at wild life.
And heres a new pic of my rosea;here shes climbing ontop of her hide out. she gets very active at times, quite funny to watch!

My newest spider!(4 pics)
This is Scotophaeus blackwalli, or Mouse Spider. These are commonly found in and aroud the house and they have a velvety black appearnace to their opisthosoma giving them their common name.
I caught one and put it in a small tank with just vermiculite at first, and it made webbing straight away before eating a cricket-make yourself at home my friend!
I then added half a plant pot and it disappeared, these like to burrow!
I thought I'd lost it or it had gotten abducted by 8 legged aliens but then it surfaced onto of the pot loooking newly molted!
