Yeah Bro Jong thanks alot for the Support always..~!!

Indeed there are still many more unsolved questions about FS waiting to be uncovered..

Bear in mind that when most of those spiders were first discovered (1880 to early 1900s), the countries as we know them didn't exist.
So don't put too much weight in where the spiders came from. Spider locations do not depend on country borders.

Hi Everyone..

Today met up with many FS Kakis at our Old Fave Spot P#.. Had numerous FS Bouts.. More than 20 Matches recorded..! But there were some unnamed Fights so i just compiled them into one video which i will be naming it as "A Series of Fights".. As some of the FSes were not announced their names during the recordings, any Kaki if happened to know the actual name of the FS(es) pls let me know and i will amend it..


Present Kakis were: Randy, Ricky, Peter(aka Buaya), AhKim, Seng, Vincent, Yuda, Eugene and Myself.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bro Randy also passed me his HK caught T.Bha Huge Female Cecilia Cheung today. I can see her size if compared to our average SG T.Bha Females, easily 1-2 times Bigger.. Really Amazing.. I supposed even the Biggest SG T.Bha Female i ever seen or caught is still smaller than her.. ..from here we can already imagine the Size of T.Bha Males there.. easily 8mm or even bigger is definitely POSSIBLE.. ..anyway Thanks Alot Bro Randy for the Gift..

On Friday while recce-ing aimlessly in Ponggol.. caught this Damn Small Fella which i named it as Dwarf.. should be XS-size(Extra Small Size).. have measured him just now.. only 5mm after a full stomach.. ..Till now i still dun understand why Thiania's sizes can vary sooo much.. all are Males and for T.Bha they will moult around 5-6 times in their whole lifespan.. and once turned white face also means no more moulting for them hence the size will be more or less around there already.. What can the reasons be..? Gene Problems?? Weather too Hot here caused them to moult faster than usual and hence they didnt get to absorb enough food nutrients??

Here's a list of Factors Bro Xarms gave me as they in HK are also facing the same problems:

1) Environment
2) Gene
3) Nutrition
4) Weather
5) Condition
6) Time

Well.. hope 1day we will be able to come out with the Best Set of Answers..

Here are 2 Photos of Dwarf:

Added on June 13, 2011, 12:46 amhey bro Ura,

Brilliant videos taken, though I cant watch it live but least I can feast on the videos Im longing for such frequent gathering which i hope will happen one day here. Listening to the voices, I guess it must be the clear shot cameraman Bro Randy who is filming it, bravo bro for clear shot bouts. very very interesting matches u guys had there, having absolute long timer like brother Kim & bro Buaya among the participant.

bro Ricky, your Thundercat is really getting fiecer everytime he's in action, you are a very good trainer indeed (I need to learn from you more), not forgetting bro vincent's fs, seems like he won almost all the matches (he still hasn's tell me his secret yet ). Bro Ura's cloud is among the best and havent lost any match yet if Im not mistaken, bravo btw did bro edmund lost his way to the gathering?

Upon seeing bro seng, bro Ura & obviously bro Randy's mentor fs it makes me believe more that bigger fs exist.I really hope I can still stay alert to this hobby thanks to the motivation u guys gave me

p/s : Im really looking forward to your visit now bro Randy

good job everyone

cheers,
Jason

Ya bro jason,
It's really fun to hv so many kakis yesterday at p# Fs bout & many tks to bro Ura for uploaded all the videos.u can hear our shout & laugh during fight,especially bro ah Kim "don't worry mine non-sup..non-sup....Oi?sup arrr!" (Randy's macho man v ah kim's suppow 02 ) and vincent's ML kena kop one arm by ah kim's Huge spider just for one chop!the moment i look at vincent's face like "...........!".(feel sry for bro vincent but i really can't hold myself to laugh)
Actually Thundercat i don't really train it,it naturally a gd fighter since i caught,the rest of mine also kena jialat-jialat...bro ura's Cloud is different which has been well trained by him,everytime i see him fight more & more fierce.well done by Ura & congrates to his Cloud to b our current champion !
Look like u're crying for spider food again bro..u didn't try on fruit flies?if mango & banana doesn't works then try D24 durian.. i really hv no idea hw to help u on this,but hope u will solve the prb soon.

P/s: saw Cecilia cheung (張柏芝) ytd,I think ard same size with Giant Bu caught by Viper88 last time, nice job to bro Randy,if he bring back the real Cecilia cheung even better,much pleasure & not just for viewing only!

Ricky

Yo Bro Jason, thanks for viewing the Clips, glad that you have enjoyed them..
Yeah i understand it is alway better to have many FS Kakis around to fight and hunt FS.. but Good FSes especially Big, Strong and Skilful Males are really very very DIFFICULT to find now in SG.. therefore no need to envy us too much if you did..

Nowadays Bro Randy has also learnt up many stuff like recording live fights and uploading the videos here where last time it was mostly me doing it.. Well Done Bro Randy..! ..nowadays whenever we go out for FS Bouts together, we 2 will record the Matches at the same time.. Therefore we are already short of Hands, other Kakis if possible please lend us a Helping Hand to standby a Big Enuf Leaf for FSes who're going to fall off from the Platform.. this will make everything more smooth-going and also to ensure Fair Fight and Fair Ending.. Dun just watch and forget about the Cameramen's difficulties ok..

Bro Ricky's ThunderCat is a Chop-Killer! This Kind of FS who can handle Chop well and yet wont turn Chop himself is indeed a Rare GooD Fighter!! Even Bro Ricky said himself he didnt really train him, actually me too i didnt train Cloud at all.. In this T.Bha Fighting World, more than 60% is dependable on the Male's Innate Fighting Ability(先天); taken into account the Attacking and Defensing Abilities.. therefore dun be too hopeful to train a Lousy Fighter into a Superb Fighter one day.. this is hardly possible.. even if it works, most likely the Male already got some 先天 but just that you didnt realise it until a later stage.. and dun think of training a Male into a Chop if he is already a Strong Fair Fighter.. Chop will only make things worse and he will go downhill even faster.. they will sort of forget how to defense and just attack blindly which caused their injuries to be more severe.

Anyway Thanks Alot to Bro Ricky!! .. ..
Cloud has indeed moved a Big Step forward after yesterday's 2 HEAVY-Weight Fights.. will check on him regularly to see if he also turned Chop, cos yesterday both opponents who fought him were Chopsters too..

These few days i will try to make a Video of Dwarf and Cecilia Cheung.. it is rather interesting as Cecilia Cheung being the HUGE T.Bha Female(seriously she got the Physique of a T.Sub Female) is actually a Gentle and Meek Lady.. where Dwarf being one of the SMALLEST T.Bha Male around.. is actually a DareDevil.. even defeated a Koppow who was much bigger than him yesterday..

Anyway my Condolences to Bro Vincent's ML.. hope you will get a Better Replacement soon..

I've tried it on mango, lots of fruit flies but when i go closer they all fly away...any way to get the flies into my fs housing? and if they do get in how to not let them get out? the ventilation hole is big enough for those flies to get away

need help,
Jason

Hey Bro Jason, what about your LC worms?
They should breed and multiply well if you have put lots of raw lotus seeds for them they love to eat it..

Hi Everyone

It was a fantastic FS Sunday for all of us, really worth rushing there and back and out again..... So many Kaki at one place and is the first time I meet up with Bro Yuda too.

The biggest FS is Ah Kim's huge FS...easily large size. Where on earth does he always get such big ones???? I still remember his Bi Peno II, equally large. It would be good if we can photograph his huge FS on grid paper for all to admire. The strongest Fs is Cloud and he managed to beat the strongest challengers, Tomiko (Mentor destroyer) as well as Ah Kim's huge FS. That was the highlight of the day when heavy weights clash.

I also felt kind of sad or also don know whether to laugh or not when Bro Vincent's FS Arm kena bitten off. That was an L size FS biting off an ML sized FS's arm. It is already so hard to catch an ML sized FS...and kind of remind me of my Mentor arm kena bitten off. Anyway Bro Buaya and Ah Kim set such high standards and Buaya's spar Fs is my current 1st King, Strawberry.

Over the weekend, I did catch quite a lot of FS but none make the grade. Released 5 Fs this morning including Fear who lost to Pikachu, who then occupied the last slot in Team Randy.

Pikachu (Bottom) V Fear (Top) 120611

While releasing the 5 FS today before work, was rewarded with an ML sized FS called Cotton Candy. . Thankfully he is a normal fighter and beat Pikachu, who was occupying Team Randy's last slot.

Cotton Candy (Left) V Pikachu (Right) 130611

Lastly it was all Bro Ura's expertise in recording all the fights. My recording shall serve as back-up.

My current line up:-

(1) Strawberry (ML)
(2) Cotton Candy (ML)
(3) Macho Man (ML)
(4) Mysterio (SL)
(5) Snap (SL-Sub)

Your Exspiderking

Randy

Hi Bro Ura,

The LC worm is not producing enough babies, the babies all finish already...other than lotus seed what else to feed?
I had lots of fruit flies on the mango that i put in a container yesterday but all fled once i open the top.....

went to aquarium shop and bought some earth worm and the yellow colour worm (look like the lc worm but much bigger in size). tried to feed them earth worm, cut them into tiny pieces and its still moving but the fs is not interested...intro yellow worm which i cut into tiny pieces also, only 2 of the fs ate, the rest not interested...

Im going to look for some black ant nest today, hopefully it will help before my crickets start to have babies...

btw, how long is the cycle of cricket mating to babies?

Added on June 14, 2011, 5:27 pmHi everyone,

I recorded 2 fights days ago while hunting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EvytKeXPcs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKSbzWXesi0


Together is 2 pics of a different species, this is an awkward moment. I was preying for the fs and out of a sudden from nowhere, something jump on it and ate it....here are the pics







another scary moment, while getting ready for hunting, something moved 10feet away from me, didnt bother cause I thought its normal small lizard or small creeping insect/animal. To my surprise, it was a 1.5 metre lizard, my leg without thinking ran straight to my car. On second thought while near my car, I think I should record it (creepy stuff reminds me of bro Randy's bravery). took out the phone and only manage to record from far (dare not go near at all, its so huge....) only can see some movement as it was so bright to look into the phone on what was recorded

I somehow regretted not being brave enough to go near to record but if that ever happen again I guess I will do the same, run....I dont think I have the guts of bro Randy, lol. here's the video


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sKVJvGsofc
its from far range so u have to focus something moving towards the inner bushes (above the branch to the mid right)


cheers,
Jason

Hi bro jason,
Tks for sharing the video/pic,look like our lone ranger hunting adventure become more & more exciting,big spider eat ur Fs follow by big lizard...quite similar with bro randy's story,means within this two days u will manage to catch big Fs like Mentor ,it's actually a gd sign bro! ur newly caught looks really big with long arm..big ML/L? My current team still remained in SL category,compare to bro Randy mine "can't smell the smoke" @@. Wonder why I still can't c any ML in my recent hunting,shall talk to my boz to get some company's project in KL dy.. or maybe i shud change my spot to the place which easily meet something like wild boar or cobra I think...Bo lat.

Here's a video posted few days ago by our kaki(bro Seng) in FB:-
Aggressive jumping spider
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhedTrOgmHQ...be_gdata_player

Last Sunday bro Seng show it to me @ p#..damn it the spider looks much bigger than T.cam Wolverine ,in video bro Seng put another same kind to fight..but seems like this species r more keen to eat the opponent..scary!

P/s:luckily kena ate that Fs not ur 1st king,or else I believe the big spider will become "shit-biscuit" under ur feed. Ha ha..

Cheers,
Ricky

Its actually quite simple..
make sure your fs inside the leave/bottom of the case and not wandering near the top area.
Open fs case, slowly move towards the fruit flies tat bz sucking fruit juice.
When really near ady, just scoop some of the fruit flies into the FS case n close it.
Place the FS case upside down blocking the ventilation hole exit abit.
See your FS hunt n eat the juicy fruit flies.

Normally i feed my FS using this way and it takes less than few seconds only.

Added on June 14, 2011, 10:03 pmWa.. bro Randy.

1080 HD video format..

You alwys have special and unique name for your FS..
Cecilia Cheung... Maybe next male FS will be Nicholas Tze.

Bro Randy,

I wish not to see slimmy/weird creature, its kinda scary you know. If you are in a group its different, when alone......my pubic hair also stand when see such creature...None of the newly caught's arm can compare to saphire's long arm (I kinda miss his arm length tho). I really dont have time to measure the sizes as new fs kept coming in therefore have to release the older ones without measuring. with the task of feeding, im busier than ever now cause i've been hunting ants for the pass 2 days instead of fs having high hope to see bro Randy to my rescue soon

what species is that fs which belong to bro bro seng? really aggresive leh..

---

Added on June 15, 2011, 10:07 amhi bro viper,

Forget about scooping them, getting near to them also they will fly away. I think it will take a while for me to master that skill of a pro that you have. I hope to see you in person someday to see the demo. bro Randy & bro edmund might be coming over this weekend, u free to join? bro mindstorm will be here too.

cheers,
Jason

Talking about this aggressive jumping spider let me recalled an incident at P#. While flipping over a dry leave, a huge fs jumped and disappeared. Thought I'm so lucky to spot a king kong pow, waited and searched the spot for almost half an hour (squatted there feeding hungry mozzies) eventually found him to be a 'huntu' spider. Arghhh.

---

Added on June 15, 2011, 4:25 pmYou must do a leopard crawl to your target. Without making any noise, ambush your 'enemies' swiftly using a big transparant plastic bag. Gotcha ! They are food for your fs

Kidding la bro, no need to do the leopard crawl. What I do is use a big transparent plastic bag. Move quietly to the target and swiftly cover the whole mango with the flies surrounding it. Let the fruit flies get into the plastic bag and seal its end. Now you have a plastic bag of fruit flies. Knock the flies unconscious and feed them to your fs.

Hey bro trevelly,

Talking about kwai pow, I thought I saw a super king kong size yesterday, turn out to be one of those which I dare not even go close, here are some pics :-


Look at the arm length, its half of the leave. this leave is like pandan but about 3-4 times bigger than a huge pandan leave



boy, Imagine if I caught a fs size like that....possible?

Yesterday I went to a chinese medicine hoping to buy some lotus seed to feed the lc worms, and that uncle gave me this....he say they no longer have the round sort production...I wonder why i let myself kena tipu...


that old man say this is lin zi....eager to try on the lc worms, I bought it even knowing that lin zi is round shape not like this...

Anyway, I went to another chinese herbal shop and get the ori lin zi...so stupid

Caught one sparing session yesterday on phone...nowadays dont have time to record already, feeding the fs is priority after work, after feeding bo lat liao. looking for ants nest is so tiring...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uqgQeQCZxg - axel more colourful won vs indon


good idea bro Trevelly using plastic bags to trap it..hopefully it wont fly away when i get closer and I hope I wont knock it dead when trying to knock it unconscious

cheers,
Jason

Feeding lc worms with chinese herbs ? Maybe fs after eating the lc worms will be much stronger hehehe... I do know some arowana hobbyist feed the superworms with ginseng. I think you can feed oats to lc worms or maybe a slice of apple ?

Wah, this is one of the most interesting series of fight you guys have put up. Great stuff.

---

Added on June 17, 2011, 12:19 amI got a question about LC worms. Bro Jason passed me some with some sorta broken up "shell" with them that the LC worms seems to be eating on. Are those lotus seed? I got some lotus seed and they don't seem to have that sorta shell. The shell pattern seems to that of the skin of longan. Is it so?

This post has been edited by mindstorm: Jun 17 2011, 12:19 AM

Bro Jason, that's a adult male Pancorius magnus you've encountered.

Pretty common species in our jungles.
I first encountered them in 2008. You can see i posted them up in the first tread.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/608348/+800 (post# 804)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruugXsFoBUc
Yes they can get quite big. But nothing to be afraid of lah... can let it walk on your hand. Quite hand friendly but can jump really far...

The biggest one I recently found had a body length of 13 mm, legspan up to 3 cm.

The biggest female is 14mm body length, and it's not even gravid.

However despite their size...they're no match to an even bigger jumper that sometimes are found in the same habitat where Pancorius are found....

And this fella eating an adult female pancorius is only a subadult(male)...

This post has been edited by mindstorm: Jun 17 2011, 12:43 AM

Hey Mindstorm, the "shell" you will only be able to find it in raw/unprocessed lotus seeds.. which is the type of lotus seeds we are using to feed the LC worms..

Goliath size killer spider..
Still remember the 50 cent size spider?
Its the same type of spider tat get eaten in the ur pics...

Some spider can grow so much in size.. and have even longer lifespan..
