If they are on par with psalmo level venom, then bites could be pretty serious indeed. Didn't know this species lacked urticating setae.
Hm, while I can only speculate, too, I know someone who got bit by a Stichoplastoris, another dwarf NW, and said it hurt like hell and she still could feel the effects a week later...
As mentioned, it is of course speculation with no valid proof. But think back - there are people who got bitten by Psalms that reported nausea, headache, vomitting and other systemic symptoms. I think I found maybe 2 or 3 reports of those - literally ALL other reports said localized pain, swelling, redness - gone within 12-24hrs.
Nice! Curious- what sort of enclosure do you plan to set up for her- size, decorations, substrate etc?
Even though they web a lot this is still a terrestrial spider. They can still fall and go splat. I know, I know, most people in Germany will tell you tarantulas never fall and you can have as high an enclosure as you want, but there have been a few threads around here of terrestrial spiders falling and dying. I don't like the idea of a terrestrial spider in an Exo Terra much - I think it's highly dangerous. An Exo Terra is huge for a dwarf species, too, so your spider will have quite a distance to fall and it will need quite a bit of time to web it all up...Really looking forward. She is four years old and has not been mated. Coming from a renowned breeder. The species is affordable in Germany.
30x30x45cm / 12x12x18in
Exo Terra with stone background
(I have two of these terrariums next to each other. One for my Sphodromantis gastrica and the other for diamantinensis. So both animals have a lot of space.)
Exo Terra Jungle Tree
(Artificial, bendable tree for anchor points.)
Forest earth as substrate.
Very good light/heat system.
I will skip a hide as she webs her own. Instead of trying to keep the water dish free from her web I will skip it and spray the web directly.
I am even thinking about skipping the Jungle Tree anchor points in order to see her free space architecture...?
By the way: nice threat-picture aphono!
Wow. Sort of like Picasso...
Way too big, even the mini (12x12x12) is a bit on the large side. Also, they tend to keep their webbing fairly close to ground level (before I rehoused my male he hadn't touched anything above the halfway point of his enclosure, I don't have any pics of his old setup but it looked similar to my N. incei enclosure pictured below) and will utilise hides (a piece of bark leant against one of the sides seems to be their preferred option, pictured below).
Mine seems to tolerate dry spells quite well but I generally try to keep things slightly moist.
Unbeliavable unholy pain and yes, unfortunately you will die... but before the advent of the Tristo Mietitore (vulgar 'Death', in English) for a moment your face will turn exactly like Walter Ulbricht's one, and - according to the Myth - you still have the time for a (last) speech about the importance of the radio for the proletariat and social life issues, in general
