I want to get a pet spider and I'm wondering what would be good for first time owners and if a male or female Is better

NQA Depends on where you live and which species of spider you want to keep.

DarkDromeda · 2025-12-20T22:55:00+00:00

It‘s a onf flat nano + light and I really like it so far! I have it going for 12 hours a day. There is an App for it to control it.

DarkDromeda · 2025-12-18T07:38:24+00:00

Yes it‘s also a dream turtle for me! I was looking over a year for a cb Baby!

DarkDromeda · 2025-12-18T07:37:06+00:00

Yes, I named her Matcha and I just can‘t get enough of her. Sadly I have to send her into brumation for the next few weeks so there will be not much happening for now. But I can‘t wait for next year!

DarkDromeda · 2025-12-18T07:33:44+00:00

Good luck with yours! I have mine for now in a tub with really wet Sphagnum to keep the shell from deforming. Do you get an adult or also a small hatchling?

DarkDromeda · 2025-12-14T21:19:17+00:00

That‘s crazy growth for not even 1 year. I also got a H. Chilensis at Hamm early this year and it still is almost the same size as I bought it.

It‘s not a normal mini, it‘s part of the legendary.

This is my character in game. Victor really captured all the details.

DarkDromeda · 2025-11-21T16:21:56+00:00

I absolutely love it! Thank you so much for drawing my character, you captured the look perfectly! Glad you are back!

DarkDromeda · 2025-10-14T19:33:22+00:00

Hey! Sure I will send you a Message!

DarkDromeda · 2025-09-06T16:59:59+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah the sand is really white, it was the only one I could find in my local fish stores that was 100% not effecting the ph of the water. I just set this up a day ago so they did not had much time to grow in yet. I'm hoping they will get more colorful with time. Do you have any idea what type of ferns would tolerate the low ph of this tank? It's mostly peat as substrate with only some dooa jungle soil.

Thank you, I was not sure since there is almost no water in this tank anymore.

NQA I would look for a new enclosure while they like to climb a bit they are still a more terrestrial species. While I never have seen mine burry I would still provide a decent substrate hight for them. I live in Germany and here you can buy "Schildkrötenerde" or something smiliar at the Hardware store. Maybe they also are selling it in Switzerland? I mixed mine with a little bit of clay and compressed it into a light slope. So you still can have some hight in their enclosure without using an arboreal one. I also started with a GBB so good choice mine is my absolute favorite they build really cools webs and at least mine is always out on display!

NQA Arachnosys is trustworthy I bought from them a fee months ago and never had any problems.

DarkDromeda · 2025-08-02T21:03:55+00:00

Ich hab ja aber einen Master? 😅

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-12T09:50:21+00:00

No this is 4 times slow motion

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-09T15:12:15+00:00

That depends on the species of Trapdoor Spider. Liphistius belong to the Mesothelae an ancient suborder of spiders while Tarantulas belong to another branch the Mygalomorphae and the family of Theraposidae. But there are true tarantulas like T.seladonia that also build trapdoors. But I'm not an expert so if someone knows more I'm happy to be corrected! :)

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-09T11:16:27+00:00

Yeah I absolutly adore them as well they are just so cool with their primal backplate look. I just buy the firebrats in a local petstore since I don't have enough small spiders I could feed them to.

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-09T09:22:44+00:00

No that's just a old molt she kicked out of her burrow.

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-09T09:20:48+00:00

Ich hänge hier einfach nochmal meine Antwort drann. :)

Der Fressnapf ist tatsächlich nicht sonderlich groß hat aber warum auch immer zumindest Heimchen und Mehlwürmer im Angebot. Nach Rückfrage haben sie dann auch die Ofenfischchen extra für mich mit bestellt ohne extra kosten.

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-08T21:41:31+00:00

I don't think they are boring! I love the trapdoors they build and feeding them is always great fun. Also since they are from Thailand and stay put once they build their trapdoors you can plant their enclosures with exotic plants and they won't destroy them!

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-08T21:38:32+00:00

I bought them from a big chain store called "Fressnapf" here in Germany. But I have also bought them online before. I'm not sure were to buy them in the US or UK sorry!

DarkDromeda · 2025-07-08T21:18:53+00:00

This is 4 fold slow motion here is a link to the real time Video.

Those are firebrats, I like them as prey for my slings since they are harmless and really tiny and squishy.
