Pet tarantula breeding, how to raise pet spiders

Tarantula is a phylum of arthropods and arachnids, which can catch and kill insects and is a beneficial animal. The tarantula has wolf-like fur on its back, and has eight eyes, and has the title of cold-faced killer in the insect world, some tarantulas are very poisonous, can poison a sparrow, and a large tarantula can even poison a person.

Methods of raising tarantulas.

1. Raising nomadic spiders, generally large-mouth canned bottles, jars, and specimen bottles can be used as feeding tools. However, the mouth of the bottle should be sealed and tied tightly with a double layer of gauze, and some zigzag hard paper or small firewood stalks should be placed inside for spiders to climb and hide.

2. Three-dimensional cage breeding method for raising web-forming spiders: (1) The spider cage is sewn with a white colloidal plastic window screen, and the specifications are 20 cm in length, width and height. Make a round hole with a diameter of 10 cm on one side of the cage, and sew one end to the edge of the round hole with an empty cloth bag at both ends as an operating hole.

Usually, the cloth bag is tied with a rubber band and only opened during operation. The four corners of the cage are fastened to the cage frame with four cloth straps to make the spider cage fixed and formed. (2) The spider cage frame can be made of wood, or it can be welded with fine steel bars, and the size of the cage should be erected.

In order to save the floor space, several layers are generally overlapped, as long as the operation is convenient. The outer height of the cage frame is 2 meters, 1 meter long, 20 cm wide, a total of 9 layers, each layer is equipped with 5 cages, and the lower leg is 10 cm 20 cm high. A 20-square-meter space can accommodate 1,000 spiders.

3. To raise burrowing spiders, you can use the method of pond raising, that is, build a pool with bricks of 50 cm in length, width and height, fill the soil with a height of 1 2, and build a burrow artificially, and cap it with iron yarn and leave a small door for observation and feeding. This method is suitable for raising bird-catching spiders, burrowing tarantulas, etc.

Feeding method Single spider rearing is to raise 1 spider in one container. Due to the different purposes and tools of feeding, it can be divided into cage culture, bottle culture, and some can be directly placed on potted crops. Swarm spider rearing is the raising of multiple spiders in larger feeding tools.

In order to prevent spiders from killing each other, add firewood stalks such as wheat stalks, rice stalks and small branches to the feeder so that the spiders can reduce contact with each other and can nest for self-defense. This method of feeding should put in the same species, the same size of the spider, to avoid the occurrence of strong food and weak phenomenon.

Feed and feeding Spiders eat miscellaneous, but mainly feed them with meat, such as locusts, crickets, butterflies, flies, mealworms, etc. It is best to set up a small insect farm for large-scale breeding, and the artificial feed has milk, egg yolk, etc., which can be fed with 1 time a week.

As for the price, you can go to the nearby flower and bird market to see if there are any of them.

Good raising, a box with a breath lid on top, put the box with 2 3 of the soil. Feed it once every 6 months, and eat bread worms or other bugs, hamsters or other mice, and flying and crawling bugs. Just throw it alive into the box, it will eat itself, and it will ignore the dead.

But I don't think it's fun, it doesn't bite but it doesn't know how to listen.

The aspects that need to be paid attention to when raising pet spiders are the breeding box, temperature, humidity, coconut soil, and feeding, etc.

1. Breeding box

It is necessary to choose a suitable breeding box and rent a game to avoid (generally bark, but there are also other materials to dodge). Arboreal spiders need tall boxes, while the flat ones of the ground can do. And the box should not be too big or too small, and it is necessary to choose a box of moderate size.

2. Temperature

Keeping a pet spider requires controlling the temperature. In particular, most of the bird-catching spiders are tropical species, so the temperature requirements are relatively high, generally speaking, it cannot be lower than 20 degrees.

3. Humidity

Also because of the reason from the tropics, especially from the rainforest climate environment of pet spiders, generally speaking, there are high requirements for air humidity, but the air humidity can not be too high, so it is also necessary to buy a hygrometer.

4. Coconut soil

Change the coconut soil frequently, and the coconut soil is the bedding material for raising pet spiders. In general, sterile coconut clay is used that is commercially available. However, because it is generally used after soaking, it is easier to find small white particles mixed with coconut soil, so be sure to clean it on time.

5. Feeding

The main food of spiders is a variety of live insects, such as crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, etc., and occasionally some small lizards, suckling rats or other small animals.

Tarantula is a family of spiders, 8 eyes black, arranged in three columns, from the arrangement of the eyes can be identified 4 small eyes in the first row, 2 large eyes in the middle column, and 2 small or medium large eyes in the back row. The feet are stout, spiny, and end in 3 claws. It is named because of its ability to run, jump, move quickly, and be fierce.

More than 1,500 species worldwide.

Medium-sized and small-sized body 3-25 mm long. Most wander and hunt, and a few net. Activities on the ground, ridges, ditches, farmland, and plants. When resting, they hide under stones or in crevices in the soil, and some species burrow. They usually come out to forage during the day and at night in warmer areas.

Tarantula egg sacs are spherical or oblate spherical, and are composed of two hemispherical filamentous membranes, which are sutured together at the edges. The egg pouch is carried on the female spider's terminal spinner. If the egg bag is removed, the mother spider will find it and hang it on the spinning device.

1. Most of them are drilled underground and lined with wire pipes. Some use waste to conceal holes; There is also a structure that looks like a tower on top of the cave. A few species weave nets.

2. Water tarantulas are commonly found at the water's edge, with V-shaped spots on the back of the cephalothorax and herringbone spots or paired yellow spots on the abdomen.

3. The tarantula hisses by rubbing the two forelimbs in front of the head to grab food and the two pairs of legs of the head used to walk, which sounds like tearing silk. This low barking sound, which resembles a dog's barking, serves as a deterrent to enemies, and is perhaps the most successful aspect of tarantulas' evolution.

4. The cave tarantula spends most of its time in the cave, and its forefeet are developed and can dig into the earth.

5. The genus Tarantula is a large genus that includes most of the largest species of the family, such as the Taranto spider in southern Europe.

6. The leopard spider has a long step and long spines on the foot.

Appearance characteristics: 8 eyes black, arranged in three columns, from the arrangement of the eyes can be identified from the front 4 small eyes, the middle row 2 eyes large, the back row 2 eyes small or medium large. The feet are stout, spiny, and end in 3 claws. It is named because of its ability to run, jump, move quickly, and be fierce.

More than 1,500 species worldwide. Medium-sized and small-sized body 3-25 mm long. Most wander and hunt, and a few net.
