Re: My spiders

WOW! I have always been fascinated by the Goliath Spider - how big is he?

I also love the look of the last one too.

I sometimes work in Cannock - I'd better watch out for some escaped spiders when I am there now!

Re: My spiders

The goliath has approx a 5" legspan now, moulting once a month at the moment, so growing fast. It's a lovely looking spider and when not moulting is usually on display. Has a ferocious appetite as well, it would eat every night if I let it.

Re: My spiders

At the moment the large ones get locusts and the small ones crickets but I'm changing over to Dubai cockroaches of which I received my first 100 a few days ago.

Re: My spiders

As I looked at Jens I thought I would force myself to look at yours too

My least favourite is the Greenbottle Blue I'm not sure why it might be the shiny black bits on the legs, where they join the body.

I don't like spiders at all but I'm strangely drawn to them.

House spiders are bad but I can trap them & let them go - strangely I have no desire to kill them, even if they creep me right out.

House spiders aren't so bad because they scurry away quickly & unless your type of spider is trapping something or frightened generally they move really slowly.(well on tv - perhaps it's slowed down ?)
It's the whole slow leg movement that freaks me out.

Anyway thanks for sharing & glad you've found a good use for cockroaches
(sorry people who keep cockroaches for pets )

Re: My spiders

I can't see the appeal of having roaches as pets. There's just nothing interesting about them
