What tarantula's stridulate?

[AbraxasComplex]

I second that the Monocentropus balfouri stridulate. Some Pamphobeteus sp. do as well (my Chicken Spiders at least).

Hysterocrates spp. stridulate, I believe.

 

[justingordon]

hysterocrates for sure, my 8 inch female c.schoidtei stridulates very loud during a threat posture. it sounds different then most t's.. kinda sounds like somebody is shaking maracas or something

I had my new female irminia stridulate at me while throwing some elaborate threat postures.

I am also looking for a "noisy" spider. It looks like from these videos that you can add these too.

I had Ceratogyrus Marshalli stridulate on me every time pretty load

Thanks! I might have to see if I can get one of those before the Exotic Pet Ban legislation possibly gets shoved through.

I came in intending to mention that horned babboons are said to stridulate, but mine is not big enough yet for me to experience first hand. Bonus is that they are seen as a pretty good old world tarantula to begin with.

Also, I'm not sure if stridulate is the correct term for hisser roaches. Maybe the term is broader-based than I am aware of, but the mechanics differ. Hisser roaches expel air through their spiracles to make the sound, as opposed to the raking method used by some tarantulas. Again, the term may apply to both methods, I've never bothered to investigate.

Oh, and hisser roaches are pretty interesting critters by their own rights. Plus, get a male and a female and keep their conditions good and you'll have a lot more. I probably have over 100 now. I started with two.

Stridulation is sound produced by two specific parts designed for sound production rubbing against each other, or raking as you put it. The hissing of hissing cockroaches is not stridulation, but the chirping of crickets is. An insect or arachnid that produces sound when legs are rubbed against each other in the process of locomotion is not stridulation because the sound being produced is not caused by specific stridulating organs.

My Ceratogyrus darlingi would do it pretty much anytime she was out and I had to do tank maintenance. No running, just hissing and rearing.

Wow, for once I was sort of on the mark ! However, until I read your post, I had considered crickets chirping as stridulation, as I did not know it was organ-specific.

If you actually read the fine text, itll take a year after its passed for them to start banning them, and iirc they are going to put them up on a website for public comment, species by species and we can fight them, species by species.

I hope you are right but this is the government that we are talking about here. It sounds otherwise to me if you look at the US Ark Site Notice.

ALERT: America COMPETES Act of 2022 Lacey Act Amendments | USARK - United States Association of Reptile Keepers

usark.org

[/URL]

"Create a new authority allowing FWS to use an “emergency designation” that becomes effective immediately after being published in the Federal Register unless an extension of no more than 60 days is allowed. That means no due process, public input, hearings, advanced notice, etc. for injurious listings."

"The amendments would reverse the USARK federal lawsuit victory by reinstating the ban on interstate transportation of species listed as injurious under the Lacey Act. The bill would also create a “white list” (see #2 below) that could affect millions of pet owners, as well as pet businesses. Could your pet or species of interest (not just reptiles) potentially survive in southern Florida or any other location in the U.S.? Then it could be listed as injurious for just that reason! If this passes and your species of interest, even your pet, is listed as injurious, then it cannot be transported across state lines."

Either way, "I" don't want to have to fight for each one, one by one. It would be so time consuming, discouraging and EXPENSIVE. I live in Minnesota where nothing exotic will survive the winters we have up here. Why put the ban on my state? They need to leave this issue at the state level where the control currently is already in place.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a few hisser roaches too. I don't keep my hissers as pets though and so that is why I wanted a "vocal" T.

Grammostola rosea can hiss!
I have a grouchy old girl that likes to give me attitude sometimes

 

[kingshockey]

p muticus supposedly does ive never heard or tried pissing mine off to hear it do that though. you wont even really see it once its dug in even during maintenance at most it will be just legs popping out at one of the many burrow entrances it will dig. atleast thats the case with mine. its also my slowest growing t
