You must be mad or very brave to handle that spider, not something i could do:no: but it still has some good colour on it and a good sized eggsac well done.

[Techuser]

This is one is not truly agressive, the temperment on these lycosas is very variable, I dont know if I posted this video before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7KnAkHGtA0
made to show diferent reactions on two of the same specie

erm.. a bit comical

[PhilR]

That is a stunning spider. Nice pictures :)

[Gigas]

Beautiful spider, and much larger than any lycosid i've seen! Maybe these will one day be in the hobby over here, True spiders breed so much faster than T's

[sammyp]

Gorgeous beastie. Pretty as a phoneutria without the evilness:unhappy_green:

[andy]

I dont know what it is that scares me with these spiders i love the colour and you have taken some great shots:yes: , have you ever been bitten?

[Techuser]

Thanks

Never been bitten andy
Gigus, actually they are not much in the hobby here, people dislikes them because they are too common, are considered beginner spiders, for those who dont have a tarantula yet
the only true spider being bred here are phoneutrias I believe

[Gigas]

Funny how the taste in inverts differs all over the world, Very nice picture, it makes the spider look like it has eyelashes!

What is it like with South American Latrodectus where you are? are peopel keeping them?

[Elsa]

do they have bad bite or r they just v. agressive?

[Tegenaria]

Oh that is a niiiiiiiice spider, love the red fangs!

[Tegenaria]

hmmm, just had a look thru your albums on imageshack, nice spiders there and some, err, other pics! ;)

[Techuser]

Hahah that two pics were not taken by me tegenaria :no:
Spidergirl, at most the venom can cause 1cm of necrosis, but its very rare
Gigus, no latrodectus too... I know only two guys who keeps geometricus (I also have one) but no one is breeding

[Becky]

I love lycosa! I'd love a few of them big ones in my collection.. im not keen on "small" spiders.. dwarf T's and tiny lil true's etc but them lycosa i love!

Gorgeous pics!

Yes but it's a house spider on Steroids Becky yuk. Having said that I do have a pair of fishing spiders, very similar.

[Tegenaria]

How is Hartley doing mary?

[Mary]

Hartley is a male, he has pedipalps but is not yet mature, when he is I have a female waiting to meet him.

[Tegenaria]

How big does hartley get to mary?

[Mary]

Hartleys g/f is about 3 inch l/s but I think Hartley will be bigger than that from what I have seen.

[Tegenaria]

Hartleys g/f is about 3 inch l/s but I think Hartley will be bigger than that from what I have seen.
