And I'm also getting a Sicarius terrosus the 6 eyed sand spider

Can't wait to see how the orb weavers decorate! I've been seeing a lot of those six eyed sand spiders on social media lately.
Are they as dangerous as they say or is that just a myth?

For what I've read you will die if bitten they have a necrotoxin which basically destroys the red blood cells acts like a flesh eating disease I had to proove I was over 18 and have a letter emailed to them saying I knew what I was buying

Good to see they're taking the appropriate precautions as sellers. I heard the same about the bite, somebody told me there were two reported bites, one was a death the other an amputation of the arm. I was told bites aren't common but extremely dangerous.

That's correct there isn't or wasn't any anti venom because humans raley see these guys in the desert they are really shy and not at all aggressive so that's a good thing I suppose lol

So just don't touch haha. I read they're not good climbers so hopefully you don't have to worry about it shooting up the side of the enclosure at you.

I think they get to the 5 to 6 inch leg span also what's interesting I'll look into it more though the females are the longest living true spiders and can live up to 15 years which if true would be awesome

There here so there was I little mess up with my new additions but it's OK because I've ended up with a free spider. So today's delivery I received 2 x sicarius terrosus (6 eyed sand spider ) the orb weavers are coming Friday . This pic is of one of them very small at the moment but that's OK I like rearing spiders up

 

[Pasodama]

Great that you have received the S. terrosus duo. Congrats!
It seems that, whatever the mess up was, it has been (or is being) remedied. That's good.

Did you get the Orb Weavers yesterday?
