Thanks Randy for posting the third and final spider fight. Wow, in total, there are 14 fights. Strange that King Kong was not in.

Below are my humble comments.

1. Rudy's Larcius (Bottom) V BTL's Newly Caught (Top) (RD 1) 060112
- A fierce fight with a sommersault and they went under the leave. At least I understand why the need for a second round. Though I must admit that it seems that Larcius has an upper hand.

2. Rudy's Larcius (Bottom) V BTL's Newly Caught (Top) (RD 2) 060112
- Larcius was moving forward. Newly Caught was taken by surprise. It has no choice but to lung forward. Larcius held its position and pushed off Newly Caught.

3. Rudy's Larcius (Bottom) V Ricky's Rotweller (Top) 060112
- A bit too fast. When the video started, the fight was already on. It looks like Larcius's arm was bitten by Rotweller. Hopefully, Larcius is not injured badly.

Before I comment on the next two matches, I remember Ecko. It's Ricky's new FS and have won all three fights earlier. Is Ricky testing Ecko to the maximum? Will it shine? I think I remember Lalaland too. Is it the only SG which have beaten LOL? Anyway, here's we go for the next two matches.
4. Rudy's Jagger (Top) V Ricky's Ecko (Bottom) 060112
Ecko continued its winning streak and won again. 4 in a row. Could there be a fifth?

5. Rudy's Lalaland (Left) V Ricky's Ecko (Right) 060112
Answer is a "no". Anyway, this fight is interesting. And Ecko must have been very tired now. Take a good rest and looking forward to your future fights.

6. Ricky's Rotweller (Right) V Rudy's 1 piece (Left) 060112 (Recommended: )
I remembered and also indicated by Randy, 1 piece is anything but one big spider. Size is one thing. Refusal to give up is equally important. That possibly accounts for Rotweller's triumph. Well done, Rotweller. So, now Ricky has six strong FS.

7. Ricky's Lol (Right) V Rudy's Lalaland (Left) 060112
If this is a re-match, then I am definitely looking forward to it. The previous time, LOL lost without a fight. Can he remember Lalaland? Will he give better performance this time? Yes, he did and extreme fierce too, pushing Lalaland to the ground. Lalaland is definitely injured. Possibly due to LOL's strong push, Lalaland dropped to the ground. Its arm is bitten too. Looks like LOL has its revenge this time.

8. Randy's Cornetto (Bottom) V BTL's Newly Caught 2 (Top) 060112
A normal fight. My marketing professor always said this, "Comparing a brand vs a non-brand, the winner is obvious." Looks like it is applicable to here too.

9. Rudy's Red Devil (Top) V Randy's Sonic Boom (Bottom) 060112
Everyone remembered Red Devil. It fought well the previous time. How will be its performance this round? Yes, it wins easily.

10. Vincent's Power Chop (Top) V Rudy's Red Devil (Bottom) 0601121
I was about to write that the way to win Red Devil and its sort of spiders is quite simple. Send a chopster because Red Devil spends too much time closing and opening its arms. And true enough, Vincent's chopster gives Red Devil not even a second to show its fighting style. Red Devil is definitely injured. Rudy should consider retiring Red Devil. I will remember you Red Devil for being a special spider. Hope that you recover.

11. Vincent's Kuku (Bottom) V BTL's Spar (Top) 060112
Good fight by Kuku.

12. Vincent's Kuku (Bottom) V BTL's Red (Top) 060112
Another good fight by Kuku. I thought that the fight was finished earlier with the push. But the video moved to the ground. Thank goodness, Red recovered fast or else it will become Kuku's supper. Can't imagine if Kuku is actually Power Chop.

13. Seng's Killer (Left) V Vincent's Mat Yoyo (Right) 060112
An interesting fight. Is Killer on the left or right?

14. Vincent's Prada (Right) V Seng's Killer (Left) 060112
The last fight. Will it be exciting? What happened? Killer seems to have seen a ghost, running away in no time. As usual, branding is very important.

Thanks for the interesting fighting bouts. It must be an exciting day for both humans and spiders.
To Randy and others, thanks for the invitation to join in your hunting/bouts. As what I told Ura, (yes, I have been communicating with Ura through messaging ), I prefer to be a armchair spectator. Anyway, Ura said he will be back to forum to give us an update of his T-subs. The only problem is that he did not say when.

To BTL, very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. Wow, that's T-sub. My eyesight may be failing. Is this T-sub short of 1 leg?

Is your farm secure? Or else, everyone will start going to catch spiders easily. Take care and enjoy your overseas trip.

Added on January 9, 2012, 11:34 amTo viper88. Pardon me for my limited knowledge. Is Red Devil a T-sub species?

Hi Ricky, my goodness. how many male spiders you have in total?

Against the four spiders, it is chicken feet for King Kong. Should have put LOL down. Just kidding. Anyway, a a special request. Think it is fairer to fight King Kong against GoldHair. If GoldHair not available, then Overlord and 1-piece should be exciting too. No, no to Power Chop.

Also, looked at KK's abdomen, largely gold in colour. Very beautiful indeed.

Interesting BTL's farm. So, the farm has two T-sub now? Wondering if they will meet each other one day during their walking adventure.

The T-sub from Japan looks like the T-sub from HK. The popular fighting spiders in Japan are much bigger and brownish in colour.

Some close-ups shots of FS. Apology if they have been posted before. http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/macros-clos...ng-spiders.html
Overall, FS are very hairy.

Hi Ricky

May I ask a question: What is inside the aluminium foil? The white thing is the egg sac?

Soon we will have many T-sub running about. The consequence is that FS in Singapore will get bigger in size.

Hi Ricky, very interesting indeed. Spiders have very good lives nowadays.

Thanks viper88 for the information.

Are there instances whereby a chopster become normal fighter?

Interesting, viper88. Kaizer started as a chopster? After the match with Spitfire, any other match between Kaizer and another chopster. Indeed, Kaizer recovered from Nexus's fight too.

Thanks Ricky for the info and pictures. Very big team. I think can win Jason.

DynaForce looks big. I think it won against Changi. Videos to share on your three new local talents?

The HK sub-adult gift from Ura looks so beautiful.

I was looking at T-Bha species from India (which viper88 posted in a web-link recently). Very big head but arms not so long. If the latter is long like T-sub, wow, confirmed biggest T-Bha FS in the region.

Ricky, Errrr. I also faint.

Your son's "spider" is real?? Where on earth he catch it?? Mindstorm will be most interested in this big fella.

This post has been edited by utility47: Jan 13 2012, 08:47 AM

No, future Nobel Prize Winner for Science.

Freeze looks big. Can it fight?

Hi Randy, you can single-handedly use the "fourth-pictured" spider against the full team of Ricky.

A rematch between Heartthrob and Guiness Stout will be interesting. Test Salome Kane/Sonic Boom against LOL again. How's about pitting Overlord against King Kong?

This post has been edited by utility47: Jan 14 2012, 03:51 PM

Wow, Ricky, Freeze can fight too.

To think about it, both Freeze and King Kong are foreign imports.

if one day, no more people to fight your spiders, have a match among King Kong, Freeze and LOL.

viper88, last time I caught a lot of spiders from such coconut leaves in my army camp. choose those trees which are nearer to rubbish bin = food and water. bring along a pair of scissors and a long plastic bag. cannot use "kope" method. aiya, i think you know lah.

This post has been edited by utility47: Jan 14 2012, 10:45 PM

Jason, catch back all the BIG T-sub.

This post has been edited by utility47: Jan 15 2012, 11:10 PM

Hi Randy, looks so good. It means the pineapple tarts. Will comment on the fights later. After seeing all those tarts, I am so hungry,

Hi Ricky, heard that Takeshi was once the most handsome spider. Female spiders merely walk into him. But the new T-bha is even more handsome. Hope that Jason found a very huge T-bha. 10mm will be nice.

Ok, go and find food first.

Back, and now to enjoy all the fights. My goodness, although only three of them, there are 2 dozen fights.

1. Randy's White Horse Junior King (Left) V Krauser's Paddle-Pop (Right) 150112
A few fighting stances and a simple push. White Horse wins.

2. Randy's White Horse Junior King (Right) V Ricky's Simon Blowing Snow (Left) 150112
A more interesting fight. Simon looks like a bigger spider. However, White Horse is more aggressive. Hence, winner is White Horse again.

3. Ricky's KO (Right) V Krauser's Flowerpot (Left) 150112
As the name implies, KO, Flowerpot was KOed quite easily.

4. Ricky's KO (Top) V Randy's Outlaw (Bottom) 150112
A fierce fight, KO's fighting strategy involves standing high. Perhaps, it is one method to show the opponent that it is bigger in size. KO wins again.

5. Ricky's Freeze (Left) V Randy's Cornetto (Right) 150112
Looking forward to this fight as it is the first external fight involving Freeze. Alamak, not even a fight. Freeze wins.

6. Krauser's Massaro (Bottom) V Ricky's Jurassic (Top) 150112
Jurassic tumbled and sommersaulted. But Massaro runs away.

7. Ricky's Nitendo (Left) V Randy's Overlord (Right) 150112
Overlord is a big-sized FS and an experienced one. Nitendo is new. So how will be the performance of this fight? And wow. Nitendo won indeed.

8. Krauser's Dark Horse (Bottom) V Ricky's King Kong (Top) 150112
Among all the FS, King Kong should be the largest. But words like "Dark Horse" often brings out surprises. Size-wise, arm-size, King Kong overrules. But then, Dark Horse means dark horse. It won.

9. Krauser's Dark Horse (Bottom) V Ricky's Lol (Top) 150112
Aiyo, I saw the sentence below. So, everyone will expect its results. Anwyay, the initial sitting position of LOL is very interesting - sitting like a champion. A fierce fight too. Just hope that LOL is not injured. It was biting its left arm before continuing the second round of fights.

(The surprise was Bro Krauser's Spar becoming a world beater. The equally big surprise was LOL re-converting to a normal FS and not being able to overcome Dark Horse.)

Well done, Dark House.

10. Krauser's Slappywag(left) vs Randy's Boomz(right) - 270211
Size is one thing. Willingness/ability to fight is another. Slappywag is one good example. If these two FS are still around, they will be at least one year old. Old men already.

11. Randy's Chopster (Left) V Ricky's Angry Bird (Right) 150112
Chopster fights are always the most scary. They are the commando rangers in the army. Angry Bird is a real angry spider. What a fierce fight. The last part is somewhat intriguing and laughable? They seem to fight for a truance and both retreat quickly.

12. Ricky's Magneto (Top) V Krauser's Specimen A (Bottom) 150112
Definitely one spider is a chopster. Another fierce fight.

13. Randy's Heartthrob (Bottom) V Ricky's Cyclone (Top) 150112
I remembered Hearthrob did an excellent job in the previous round in Simei? How will it perform this time? What a funny start. Hearthrob turns "gay". And Cyclone was shocked. What a strong push by Cyclone but Heartthrob maintains its stance and won in this match.

14. Ricky's Rotweller (Left) V Krauser's Fubar (Right) 150112
Now is a fight involving a very persistent FS Rotweller. Wow, what a fierce chop by Rotweller. Thank goodness that Fubar managed to escape.

15. Ricky's Dyna Force (Bottom) V Randy's Solomon Kane (Top) 150112
Dyna Force is a new bird while Salome Kane is an old one. Good fight by Dyna Force. It won.

16. Randy's Sonic Boom (Left) V Ricky's Guiness Stout (Right) 150112
Two regulars in the fighting bout. Who will reign this time? A fierce fight indeed. and Sonic Boom wins.

Next fight is my smallest against the biggest or is it 2nd biggest of Ricky's team:-

17. Ricky's Freeze (Top) V Randy's Prince (Bottom) 150112
Is this testing the limit?

Then is the winners against the winners:-
Will this part be more exciting?

18. Krauser's Dark Horse (Top) V Ricky's Kuantan (Bottom) 150112
Dark Horse has two great fights above, beating possibly the biggest current spider and a hot champion, LOL. Now it is fighting an old bird Kuantan (Kuantan has an earlier fight?). Wow, Dark Horse wins again.

19. Ricky's Jurrassic (Top) V Ricky's KO (Bottom) 150112
KO was KOed out by Jurrassic this time.

20. Krauser's KO (Bottom) V Randy's Heartthrob (Top) 150112
Did not realize that there are two KOs. Will Heartthrob win again? The answer is "no"! Krauser's KO is very strong, pushes away Heartthrob quickly.

21. Ricky's Jurrassic (Top) V Ricky's KO (Bottom) 150112
A repeat of (19).

22. Ricky's Nitendo (Left) V Randy's Sonic Boom (Right) 150112
Nitendo fights well and wins. A rising star.

23. Krauser's Dark Horse (Right) V Randy's White Horse Junior King (Left) 150112
Dark vs White. So far, Dark Horse has three wins. Against White Horse, Dark Horse wins too. Fourth win for today.

The final fight was the best fight of the day.

24. Ricky's Rotweller (Right) V Krauser's Dark Horse (Left) 150112 (Recommended )
Since it is recommended, this will be a very exciting and scary fight. Rotweller likes to chop. Will it chop Dark Horse too? Oh no, Rotweller is really one fierce spider. Bit and bit and bit. Think Dark Horse is injured. Possibly very tiring for Dark Horse since he has fought four rounds.

Thanks for posting all the fights again, Randy. I will like to give three cheers to Dark Horse despite it losing the last fight.

Hi Krauser, thks for the clarification on KO. Yes, Ricky has a very big team to choose from. Possibly Freeze will be the rising star. Performance by King Kong is not so impressive. While LOL lost, at least it put up a good fight against Dark Horse. Indeed, when I was going back the list, I was hoping to see a fight between Freeze and Dark Horse. Poor and tired Dark Horse, need to fight and fight.

Viper88, your FS must be at least 1.5 months now under captivity. Not sure about it, but it seems that Cyberion has grown in size? Is there another spider called Hypertube?

Hi Mindstorm, very interesting analysis between air pressure and adaptability of spiders to ground level. From a layman perspective, at ground level, one should be able to survive better as there is more oxygen?

Hi Ricky, thanks for the invitation again. But again as what I told Ura, prefer to be a armchair spectator. At least, my views are neutral. Lose means lose, win means win in the comments.

Hi Jason, 8.5 mm T-bha will do then.

What is the largest T-sub spiders you guys have seen? head-to-body length.

Hi Jason

Wow, T-sub Any giant size? 10mm? You must line up all your big T-subs on grid paper when you are back, take pictures and show them to us.

And you squeeze 40+ T-sub in one container? Possibly the female T-bha committed suicide? when it saw so many "big male spiders" around it.

Thanks, Randy for posting the fights again. First, it is great to see that Red Devil is still alive kicking. Really, this devil needs to be adaptive - just fight, no need to show your fighting patterns. Second, I am surprised that the fight did not involve Dark Horse? Hopefully, it is fine.

In total, the first part has 9 fights. For this time, I did not view the fights in sequence. Somehow, I was interested in the performances of the two "biggest" spiders - Freeze and King Kong. So, I zoom to these fights first.

1. Randy's White Horse Junior King (Bottom) V Ricky's Aeroplane (Top) 180112
Aeroplane - a new spider? It is also strange that Ricky always have new spiders. Looks big too. Is he secretly cultivating his own spider farm? Anyway, back to the video. Again, it seems to show that size does not matter. White Horse act faster than Aeroplane. And Aeroplane really flies off very fast without a fight.

2. Randy's White Horse Junior King (Top) V Rudy's Lucky (Bottom) 180112
Possibly boosted by its earlier win, White Horse won again.

3. Randy's White Horse Junior King (Left) V Ricky's Handgun (Right) 180112
How's about this round? Ricky's FS is definitely off-form today. White Horse wins again.

Three in a row. Yippee Hurray to White Horse.

4. Randy's Outlaw (Top) V Rudy's Ricko (Bottom) 180112
Ricko? Is the name deliberate? A fiercer and more interesting fight and Outlaw outclassed Ricky.

After winning 4 fights in a row, Bro Ricky declared that his strong ones will be taken out now and out came Freeze. . Yes, Freeze is so big and Outlaw is ...not scared.

5. Randy's Outlaw (Right) V Ricky's Freeze (Left) 180112
This is the first match I watched. To my surprise, Freeze was a bit lethagaric (correct spelling?). Outlaw was very much alive. A push here and there and Freeze was defeated. May I add the word "easily"?

6. Ricky's Guniness Stout (Left) V Rudy's Dragon (Right) 180112
I remember Guiness Stout. A tough looking FS. How will it fare against Dragon? What happened? There is not even a single fire from Dragon.

7. Ricky's Guniness Stout (Left) V Randy's Chopster (Right) 180112
Against Chopster should be a more interesting fight I believe. Will I be disappointed? A fast chop forward and both tumbled and sommersaulted. OMG, Chopster's arm was bitten from by Guiness Stout.

Well, Bro Ricky's Guniness Stout has converted to a merciless Chopster.

Out comes my 1st ML, Sonic Boom.

8. Randy's Sonic Boom (Right) V Rudy's Smokin Ace (Left) 180112
Third video. This is a fierce fight. The beginning is missing though. Sonic Boom was fierce. And Smokin Ace was defeated.

9. Randy's Sonic Boom (Bottom) V Ricky's King Kong (Top) 180112
This is the second fight I saw. King Kong is standing tall, and at least one 1mm more than Sonic Boom. And yet, I think I shall not fill it the conclusion.
