Who here is afraid of Spiders?

What prices do allyuh pay?

[xpider_G]

Depending on the specimen.
If it's rare species I will be willing to pay some cash.
I might put out a few $ for the chevrons or pink toes.
I will break the bank for a Goliath bird Eater. ..

i killed a chevron in moka heights about 2 years ago it appeared to be wild just liming on my porch so if you really want one perhaps you could go and hunt one there. just a suggestion.

[xpider_G]

We used to have a chevron that used to live by my mothers house in (old) Moka, we named her Mutsey and she was quite sociable and would make an apperareance whenever we were liming in the porch...she disappeared one day, left her nest an all, she is missed.

BTW we DONT have endemic and soon to be endangered yellow-throated frogs (Trinidadian stream frogs) living in the garden in case someone wants to kill them for no reason.

That is an awesome specimen.
Goliaths are rare here but they do come across when the amazon washes down..

[xpider_G]

That's cool... Does it wrap up it's kill in webbing after??

No. They dont. The house spiders do that.
Most Tarantulas only kill when the hungry.
When they are done the meal looks like a black ball of bones and muck..

[joker]

I need pricing ....for pink toed...
Normally I kill them ....

[gastly369]

Was passing thru las lomas sometime to bypass some accident on highway and I kid you not, I saw a huge frickkng spider.. At least the size of my 17inch rim with 225/65 rav4 wheel, cross the effing road normal normal. I slowed down and wanted to take a pic of it but all the girls in vehicle were screaming and crying and lashing me violently.. So.. *shrug*
The sheer size of the thing though.. Didn't know those existed.

coconut crabs exist in trinidad?
i highly doubt that's a spider you saw dude i mean if its as remotely big as you say then that's way to big for a spider not to mention im sure some one would have killed it because that area busy

Looks like one of those lil jumping spiders gastly. Harmless.

[shogun]

Iz that crawl...

Why can't they learn to walk less creepily?.

I'd rather find a good size snake in my house than one of those things... serious.

Beautiful spider. Would still collect bellars if found in my house though.

[Richard Marshall]

So where will you get them to buy? Are they easy to maintain? And how aggressive are they?

[xpider_G]

As for where... there are a few areas in Trinidad that have them in the wild.
Maintenance is easy once you have a good supply of small insects and or vertebrates.
And aggression is based on the species and temperament some are docile like some here but some are easily aggravated, like the Orange baboon Tarantula or Ornamental Blue Tarantula..

[Anotrin]

Neverr seen blue or orange here in tnt. Just wolfs and pink toed. I swear I came across a few goliath looking at that pic but im not sure. Frim my exp the pink toed are very easy to maintain aand not aggressive.

[xpider_G]

Google them they are quite lovely..


Id LOVE to get one for my collection..
