      I don't think you're really supposed to see the spider very often unless you're feeding it? So I assume that this species hides under the sand all the time until it senses vibration, it's not just going to wander around the enclosure like other species and find a water bottle cap.

  • @toddlytodd
    @toddlytodd ปีที่แล้ว +45

    I remember reading that those two bite cases are dubious, and all we really know about them is venom study on mice, where we found their bite is 15 times more necrotic than brown recluses. From what I've seen from other care videos is getting these guys to bite is nearly impossible. They're just not panicky. The explanation I remember reading is that they don't really have a lot of predators to worry about.

    • @JungleLibrary

It hurt like heck and when it started healing some of the skin would not reattach over the bite spot. Took years to heal (hurts to admit this but I guess I was lucky I had chunky fat thighs)

    Do these spiders lack any body scent? It seemed like all of the scorpions & other spider prey dropped inside of their enclosure could not "taste" the 6 eyed spider their sensory hairs or feet are touching. The wolf spider can react to the moving 6 eyed, but any animal with bad eyesight doesn't even react to the stalking 6 eyed until they're bitten.

    When i was getting into inverts my local reptile shop offered to sell me one and didn't even say it was in any way dangerous, just kind of cool. But i bought a couple tarantulas and jumping spiders instead and honestly that was probably a very good decision lol. My adult male A. chalcodes, Brian, was an excellent starter and still excellent to interact with with no risk of losing my arm (or worse).

    I love you guys having opportunities to go to exotic locales, and encourage folks who are willing to financially help that out, but aren't y'all located in the Southwest? I would think you could have a pretty rad arthropod outing farely locally as well.
    Sure, it probably wouldn't draw as many clicks as the Amazon or Australia, but I know I'd be interested and it would be *hugely* less expensive in the mean time as you save for bigger trips..

  • @Xiroxys
    @Xiroxys 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My understanding of the black widow (and variants) venom, is that it basically kills you by overwhelming you with false pain. It short-circuits your nervous system into thinking it's being attacked, and things will either shut down, or your lungs will basically lock up because everything is seizing or spasming.

  • @expertoflizardcorrugation3967
    @expertoflizardcorrugation3967 ปีที่แล้ว

    these fellows are incredibly manageable as pets so long as your enclosure is properly affixed in place.
    they are all but pet rocks, and while their bite seems real nasty, actually earning one is quite challenging (still I'd recommend against tempting fate on that one)

  • @Faymous9

    Can we get a video on Hobo spiders? I currently have one as a pet and would be interested in what you think of them! Since you’re based in UT, I’m sure you could find one as quick as I did. Go move some stuff around in your garage! It’s been one of my favorite spiders and is wicked fun!
