You guys were right, it's a male. Unfortunately, it died... I could only examine it closely then. I guess I should have let it go, maybe it'd find a mate...
I'm thinking it. Well, So far I've 3 Chaetopelmas, and while I usually rely on moths to feed them, I might have to start breeding feeder ****roaches or crickets before the winter. So it depends on whether I find some this week or I don't. They don't exactly sell them here... So, if I don't find...
Indeed. They're only found in the Middle East and there isn't any interest in exotic pets in general. Also, I don't think it's legally possible to deliver them to the outside, at least not in Lebanon...
The thing is that when I rented this apartment, it was infested with pests... I've only seen...
I understand the likeliness of the second one being a male, but I found some physical differences that got me curious. The second spider has longer legs, though almost the same body size (longer abdomen, but thin), has colored vents (the first one doesn't), and is a lot more defensive. Here is a...
Hello from Lebanon!
I found 2 Chaetopelma Ovilaceum in this apartment. One about a month ago, and one just now. I kept the first one as a pet, someone said it's a male, but I'd like to take your opinions. Here it is when I first found it:
Here is the second spider I just found:
They're...
I'm glad you told me. I had emptied the inner layer of paper, took out any residues. I'm not sure it has any traces of nicotine, but hides in it, at least mostly when I open its housing. Most of the time I'm away the spider is either webbing around or trying to climb out of its prison... But...
Thanks for the support!
I just have one more question; I'm concerned about what to feed him.
See, I only find a ****roach/cricket in the house about twice or trice a month, but that's fine since turning my balcony lights on gets me plenty of Moths. That won't stay this way in the winter. Do you...
I'm quite interested in my local arachnid fauna, as what there mostly is to be said isn't about it. I'll update this album with picture of tarantulas I'll find here, for anyone else who shares this interest. Feel free to add to the album!
Hello,
I didn't have an interest in spiders before a year ago. If anything, I was just another arachnophobe... It all started with reading some stuff online and watching videos of spiders, because they're scary and deadly, right? right?
Well, I was terribly afraid of them. Would have kept my...
Hello, I'd like to get some advice on housing a Chaetopelma Olivaceum
First, I think a little background information is important; I live in Lebanon... Big spiders are generally a rare sight here, never seen one until I moved to this apartment, where I've been finding plenty, mostly Huntsmen and...
