CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the good things to keep spiders? (What are the good things to keep spiders?)

1. How to raise spiders so that they will get close to you?

1. Prepare a ventilated breeding box, put coconut soil, sterile soil and other substrates in it, and place hiding holes and fake trees according to the habits of the spider species. Spiders need to hunt by themselves. There is no need to put too many unnecessary objects in the breeding box.

2. Keep the breeding temperature between 17-25℃ and the humidity at around 65%. You can put a small water cup with some cotton in it.

3. Mainly feed crickets, locusts, moths, etc. The remaining food residues should be cleaned up and the coconut soil should be replaced regularly. This substrate is easy to breed bacteria, and if it is not replaced in time, it will easily cause the spider to become sick or even die.

2. What should you pay attention to when raising spiders?

1. The breeding temperature should be around 25℃. The temperature difference between day and night should not be too large. Pay attention to cooling down in summer to prevent heatstroke, and pay attention to heating up in winter to keep warm.

2. Adjust the humidity according to the species of spider, generally keep it at 65-70%. If it is too low, the spider may become dehydrated.

3. A good ventilation environment can make spiders strong, reduce diseases, and help them safely pass through each molting.

4. Avoid direct sunlight.

5. The spider's molting is controlled by the secretory hormones of the secretory cells in the ganglia of the brain and the abdominal ganglia. There are usually signs. First, the spider's activity decreases before molting, and it looks for a quiet place, does not eat or move, enters a semi-dormant state, and other metabolic activities are in a weak state; second, the body shape, the abdomen is obviously enlarged, the skin is rough, the body segments are clear, and there are cracks.

3. What are the varieties of pet spiders?

Common pet spiders include the Intellectual Red Rose, Intellectual Fire Rose, Mexican Red Knees, Mexican Fire Legs, Honduras Curly, Guatemalan Red Tail, etc.

Some spiders are docile, but some are poisonous and aggressive. We should try not to handle them directly during daily breeding. It is best to use tools to touch them.

2. How to keep a 0.5 to 1 cm pet spider?

1. Temperature

It is best to control it between 25-30 to ensure the spider's healthy life.

Spiders prefer temperatures between 22 and 30 degrees. If conditions are good, it is best to maintain 26 to 28 degrees, but avoid direct sunlight, which is the best breeding temperature. The temperature difference between day and night should not be too large. Pay attention to cooling down in summer to prevent heatstroke, and pay attention to heating in winter to keep warm. You can use air conditioning and heating to heat up, or you can buy a heating pad specially designed for reptiles to heat up.

2. Food

Spiders are mainly raised by feeding small animals, such as mealworms, small earthworms, etc. If conditions permit, artificial compound feed can also be used.

3. Humidity

The humidity should be kept at around 65 degrees. Low humidity can easily cause spiders to become dehydrated, and eventually die of weight loss. If the humidity is too high, spiders are prone to edema and death. If the humidity is too high, spiders are prone to edema and spot mold.

Use a small water bowl for the larvae to drink water, usually add 1-2 drops 1-2 times a week. If you don't use a water bowl, it's okay to keep the coconut soil at a certain humidity, the spiders will absorb the moisture in the coconut soil by themselves.

4. Ventilation

A good ventilation environment can make young spiders strong, reduce diseases, and safely pass each molting. Air pollution, humidity, and heat are the main causes of death for spiders.

5. Lighting

First of all, there should be sufficient light. If conditions permit, you can take it outside to see the light. (Spiders don't like light, so when they see the light, they should be kept away from the sun to ensure their safety). The windows should be opened frequently, but avoid direct sunlight.

6. Molting

Molting is a relatively important stage, so many things need to be paid attention to. Molting can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. When molting, the spider will lay a web on the ground and lie on it with its legs up. Do not disturb it at this time, and do not move it or throw it away because you think it is dead. The spider will stop eating a few days before molting, and start feeding it 5 days after molting.

7. Getting Started

Put your left hand in front of it, and use your right hand to push its buttocks, and it will climb onto your hand, and push its buttocks off when it comes down (but it is not recommended to climb onto your hand, as spiders are more of an ornamental pet)

8. Environment

Do not spray insecticides, cockroach medicinal mosquito coils, mothballs, vinegar floral water, perfume, air fresheners, sandalwood, formaldehyde, and other anti-mite drugs in the room where spiders are kept. These will kill your spiders!
