CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much does it cost for a novice to raise spiders for a month? (Picture of how much does it cost for a novice to raise spiders for a month)

1. I want to keep a spider that can make a web, such as the orange babo. The best price is around 200. Easy to take care of. The temperature and humidity requirements are not high. I am from Guangzhou?

If you go to the wetland mangroves in the south or Hainan, you should be able to catch a Hainan tarantula.

2. I have never raised a spider before. I want to buy a Brazilian Solomon's Tarantula juvenile and raise it. Can I raise it when it grows up?

I personally feel that the Solomon tarantula is quite easy to keep. It eats simply and roughly, does not require a high environment, and the price of the juvenile is very attractive. I started to get into the pit in 2015, and the first tarantula was Solomon. When I first bought it, it was only 3L. It was so small that I thought I was cheated by the seller. Later, the little guy continued to evolve. Later, I was surprised to find that this guy started to kick his hair, and I never interacted with him properly since then. Now it has become an adult, a little turkey, and super fierce.

3. A spider. I wonder how much a pet spider costs?

The price varies with the size and variety. Rare varieties are expensive, common varieties are cheap, adults are expensive, seedlings are cheap, females are expensive, males are cheap! Prices range from a few yuan to thousands of yuan. You can buy seedlings for a dozen yuan with free shipping and try to grow them yourself. The cheaper ones are the red roses, Honduras curly, Mexican red knees, and the cheaper Brazilian Solomon, the more expensive Brazilian black velvet. When I was a child, I have grown color now.

4. Is there anyone who makes money by breeding spiders?

Some people make money by breeding spiders. Artificial breeding can be done indoors or outdoors. Large-scale breeding can be done in wooden boxes, cement pools, or outdoor sheds. Small-scale breeding can also be done in lampshades, glass jars, cans, etc. Because spiders have different habits, the breeding tools are also different.

Spiders have a varied diet, are resistant to hunger, have strong vitality, and are easy to raise. As long as they have three basic conditions: food, water, and shelter, they can grow and develop normally, spin silk, and reproduce. One spider can reproduce 200 to 300 spiders a year, and some can reproduce thousands of spiders, which are worth hundreds of yuan. Spiders feed on flies and other insects, and feed is easy to obtain. They can be caught, bred, and raised by themselves without investment. They can also be introduced from other places for breeding, which has considerable benefits.

5. What spiders are suitable for beginners to raise? That is, easy to get started and pretty?

There are currently three main types of spiders, namely hunting types, web-building types and burrowing types. The first type will crawl around hunting, the second type will build a web and then wait for prey to come to them, and most of the third type of spiders can be kept as pets.

In their daily life, they hide in sand piles or caves, and then weave webs outside the caves. The webs themselves are not sticky, and are purely used to sense the size of prey and catch them. Spiders are very territorial and should be kept alone. In fact, they only need to be fed one or two meals a month, and their main food can be insects such as crickets and grasshoppers.

The breeding environment is also very simple. Just put a wet sponge in the breeding box to replenish it with water, and you can keep the spider alive. The general lifespan of a spider can be about seven years.

Female spiders are vicious. To survive, they often provoke male spiders to mate with them, then kill them. When their bellies are full and they can no longer hunt, they will slowly enjoy their husband's corpse! The more popular spider species include: the fire rose, which is native to the forests of South America. They are covered in fur and usually like to hide in mud holes, eating mainly insects.

It is highly adaptable and is by far the most popular spider.

There are also several species of spiders that originate from the Amazon rainforest, such as the bird-eating spider, the Colombian red-legged spider, and the Chilean tiger spider. They are low in toxicity and weak in attack power, have strong adaptability, and are easy to keep, so they are very popular in the market. First: Red Rose (price is 80-180) Mexican Red Knee (price 120-200) Thai Metallic Blue (price 120-200+)

6. Newbie in raising spiders?

First of all, if you want to raise a spider, you must prepare the necessary tools in advance. Find a suitable transparent box with a lid and lock the spider inside to prevent it from escaping. Then, in order to avoid being bitten by the spider, you can also prepare a pair of tweezers for daily feeding. In addition, a watering bottle is also necessary.

Secondly, different spiders have different requirements for air humidity and temperature. Keepers can adjust according to the species of spiders they catch. Generally speaking, the humidity should not exceed 70%. The temperature that spiders adapt to is generally around 25℃, so remember to keep them warm in winter.

7. What are the precautions and taboos for novices in raising spiders?

1. You need to choose a suitable breeding box and place a shelter (generally bark, but there are also shelters made of other materials). Arboreal spiders need a relatively high box, while terrestrial spiders can use a flat box. The box should not be too big or too small, but a box of moderate size. Spiders need shelter to feel safe, especially arboreal species such as the gorgeous rainforest and pink toes. Therefore, it is also very important to arrange shelters.

2. Control the temperature. Pet spiders, especially tarantulas, are mostly tropical species. Therefore, they have high temperature requirements. Generally speaking, they will eat less if the temperature is below 20 degrees, and their lives will be in danger if the temperature is below 10 degrees. Not to mention the minus dozens of degrees in the Northeast, there is no hope. Therefore, a heating pad is essential for raising pet spiders. Of course, it would be better to use a constant temperature box if conditions permit.

04. Control the humidity. This is also because they come from the tropics. Especially for pet spiders that come from rainforest climates. Generally speaking, they have higher requirements for air humidity. But the air humidity cannot be too high. Too low air humidity will cause juvenile spiders to dehydrate due to dryness, and adult or sub-adult spiders will not be able to complete molting. Too high air humidity will cause your pet spider to suffer from "soft feet syndrome". So it is necessary to buy a hygrometer.

8. How to raise the Brazilian white-knee spider?

1. Use a covered box, put a food bowl and a water bowl inside, and use coconut soil as the bedding material. 2. Suitable temperature for care: about 27℃ 3. Suitable humidity: about 75% 4. Diet: crickets, and occasionally newborn white mice, but it is worth noting that the young eat a lot and grow very quickly, and will dig holes and build nests to protect themselves. They are easily irritated, and the chance of biting is not very high, but they will kick their fur frequently, and their stinging hair may cause a more obvious allergic reaction to human skin.

9. I’m a novice and I need recommendations for reptiles. Are snakes, spiders, scorpions, lizards, or geckos all fine?

The cheapest wooden climbing box costs about one hundred yuan, and a set with heating pads, lamps and other equipment costs about 400 yuan.
