Hi Bro Sofian,

A Warm Welcome to you in our Lowyat FS Forum..

Sorry for being Late to Welcome you also.. I am Ura, supposed to be one of few Older batch SG Kakis who is still involved with FS in this SG FS Circle currently. I joined on the Sep of 2009, where that time we still have our Part1 Forum to post in. Part1 Forum has 149 Pages, Tonnes of Info, Photos and Videos were posted there. It will be good if you got the time to read thru the History of all the FS Happenings there, you will gain lots of Invaluable Insights for FS. Thread Starter is of cos our Bro Mindstorm, coupling with our Bro Viper88, both are the True FS Veterans in our FS Circle, they are both from KL. You can find the link to Part1 Forum at the 1st Page of this Part2 Forum. The Part1 forum was merely started by the two of them in Jan 2008 but just by reading the posts they exchanged is already Interesting Enough! And our SG side began in Feb 2009 with our Bro Koppao(aka Edwin) and Bro Yuda as the Pioneers.

Clan Rodimus has Cool Names and looks really Interesting with the various FSes Bro Randy and Bro Ricky passed to you and those caught by you.. ..hope with your Strenuous/Vigorous training the 4 of them namely Frontier, Magnum, Chopper and Junior will all turn out to be Superb and Tenacious Fighters..!

As what Bro Randy has mentioned about Bro AhKim and Bro Buaya, it will be really Good if you can join them for hunt one day and observe how they hunt for the Big Males. As far as i know, Bro Buaya has this Special Trait of being very patient while hunting, he can stay still at a spot to wait for the Big Male to make himself Visible while roaming around, usually he wont go and flip the leaves so much as by doing so will inevitably alarm the FS and rest assured once the FS saw you(but you didnt see him), he will not move until you left(or at least when he felt safe enough to move again). And now the question is.. why is this method useful? It seems easy right, just like waiting for $$$ to drop from the sky isnt it..?
Yes this method is indeed an Easy method to get Big Males provided the below 3 criteria are fulfilled, the Importance of the 3 are arranged in Descending Order:

1) Spot Factor: Wait at the Right Spot; this particular spot you are waiting at, must be proven to house Big Males. At least one ML-size(minimum) must be caught there before by any person. Dont waste your time squatting at a spot where no Kaki ever caught a ML-size(minimum) and always caught Tiny Males there. Even One Good-sized caught will be very different from Zero Good-sized caught. 
2) Time Factor: Wait at the Right Time; there are 2 kinds of timing when the Males will like to leave their nests and roam around. Morning7am-10am or Late Afternoon5pm-7pm. Either for food or for Females. Based on my observation, the Males like to roam around for food in the morning shift and for Females in the late afternoon shift. As Bro Buaya caught almost all his Big FSes in the late afternoon shift i will just elaborate more on that. You know actually a Female FS like to make it easier to the Males by "advertising" herself with pheromones; a communicative chemicals. They will secrete pheromones on their dragline, the silk thread they leave trailing behind them. When the Males come across the dragline, they will smell the pheromone with the chemical sensors on their front legs and follow the dragline to the Female. And once the Male locates a Female, it has to contend with other Males(if any) in the area. This is a Routine that is happening every single day in the Spider World, the FS we are playing is coined scientifically as Thiania Bhamoensis(T.Bha), is just a Species in the Jumpers Family with over 4000 different Species documented. All Kinds of Spiders fight but unanimously T.Bha's Fighting Style is known to be the Most Entertaining of all, they dun dance too long nor fight too short. You will be surprised that some Jumper Species are known to dance for 5mins and fight for just 5secs.. ..haha so also Be Proud of what you are playing..
3) Human Factor: Really have the Patience to keep Still there for a Certain period of time, sometimes it even takes Hours to just wait for a Big Male to make himself Visible. While waiting dun make any noise, set your HP to slience mode, FSes especially the Males they are very Sensitive to Sounds. Also dun position yourself too near to the patch of foliage you are waiting at. Bro Buaya has this Ability to wait Obediently that's why he always got lots of Big Males.
Bro Buaya and Bro AhKim have been playing FS since their childhood times till now. They are actually FS Buddies for Decades. But both of them only started to join this SG FS Circle somewhere around Jul or Aug 2009. Just 1-2mths before me. Since Feb 2009, our SG Kakis have been videoing almost all the FS Fights until now, it has become our Tradition, we dun just fight our FSes and watch them with our Naked Eyes. I believe by videoing the fights will definitely create lots of Good Memories for the Future and also Set BenchMarks for Future Fights to match up with, either in terms of Fighting Time or Fighting Quality. Next i will be posting Bro Buaya's Big FSes Matches ever recorded.
All Bro Buaya's FSes mentioned below are at least size of ML(medium large and above) and will be arranged chronologically:
When i first knew about Bro Buaya(aka Peter) in Oct 2009, he already got a Giant(Alien), 2 Sub-Giants(Hunter and General) and a Terror FS(HellBoy)..

Of cos not every single match that he fought was videoed but generally all the matches recorded above will more or less picture Bro Buaya's Memoir of all his Huge FSes since Jul/Aug 2009 he joined this Lowyat FS Circle. Nowadays i felt something is lost in this Part2 Forum as some of our Older Batch Kakis like Bro Krauser and Bro Jong have already left the scene, both were Passionate FS Players who did produce Small win Big Fighters(remember it is not easy in the 1st place). Therefore as a Senior to most of the Newer Kakis here i would like to emphasize this point; In playing FS, Size is definitely not Everything. But i am not saying S sizes Males will beat the SL sizes and above. What i meant is that as long as 2 Males that are not too wide apart in size difference(1 size apart; Eg SL-to-ML or ML-to-L), anything can happen. Oftentimes it is the Fighting Will/Stamina of the FSes that determines the Victory, of which that will earn the Most Honourable Credit Ever in a Victory. Since Bro Mindstorm has been posting very seldomly in this Part2 Forum, i would like to quote one interesting thing he ever wrote on FS ranking criteria in the Part1 Forum which will support my statement plus some of the sample videos(smaller won bigger) i'm going to add on after it.

Bro Mindstorm once said this in Post #115 Part1 Forum:
As i have mentioned early in this tread, size difference is something to be eliminated when matching spiders. Of cuz, we cannot always have 100% same size spiders fighting. While you seem to see size as a plus point, i take size as a minus point! Not to say minus...but if a big spider loses to a smaller spider, the big spider's credit drops and the smaller spider's credit increases. However if a big spider wins a smaller spider, well...nothing to shout about cuz it is more or less expected. The rest of the points i agree with you. But obviously i have placed them in this order
1)Stamina
2)Strong fighting will
3)Fighting techniques
That's why those FS engaging in record time fights come out tops on my list. A long fight is an amazing show to watch simply because most fights are short ones. Even plakat(fighting fish) over generation has been bred for their stamina. The ones we buy can fight for 2 hours but wild fighting fish even in Thailand usually fight only about 15min. Of cuz in the wild, it is not advantages to fight that long...increases the chance of death...either by being preyed upon while fighting or easily preyed upon after fight because of injury or exhaustion.
And as in the fights between Hope/Crossfire with Jack, it can be seen stamina fighters can win simply by outlasting a technical fighter. In both fights, Jack manages to flip Hope/Crossfire and even carried Hope but Hope/Crossfire still flip back and carried on fighting to win! Having stamina is certainly a major factor in FS fighting.

Ura's Lin(bottom) vs Peter's Foxy(top) Rd1 - 030211
Most of the FSes listed above were inherited with this Rare Ability when newly caught. But there are also some who were trained manually to transform into that. It all depends on how you rear your FSes, be it the former or latter possibility. A Strong-Willed Fighter can also turn Kecut overnight if you mistakenly done something you should not have done. Likewise a Ok Fighter can transform into a Fierce and Brave Fighter if you know how. But dont expect a Lousy Breed Fighter to become Super Good, that is hardly possible. He should be at least of a Ok-standard to start working on.

And lastly i would like to share with you this All-time Classic Fight in our SG FS Circle, even though the Smaller FS is the Loser this time, but in my opinion he won it, psychologically he won it.. and won it Very Very Honourably..  

He is Pincer, a FS once owned by our Bro Jong:

Pincer vs Bullet

Next time if any Kaki ever tell you his FS has a never-say-die attitude and retreats only in the most impossible circumstances, do use this Fight as a BenchMark, then you realise what is the Real Definition of "Tenacity" in the Dictionary of Fighting Spiders..  "No Offence ok Mr. Very Handsome Hunter ha ha! "
Cheers

A very good write up from bro Ura. May I  one add more thing into factor 1 ?

1) Spot Factor: Besides waiting for the Right spot, that particular spot also must not be infested with too many mozzies else hehe u sure lost concentration. I know of one such spot - West Cost Park -> tons of mozzies haha

Hi bro Jason,

Thanks for the moral support man. Will definitely try to upload more vids soon.

Lucky that day i wore overall to hunt. But also kena bite at neck area damn itchy sia. 

But no problem la, quite happy becoz got to retained those 4 males. 

Thanks bro Ricky for the hunt that day. 

Hi Bro Sofian,

Other Alternatives include LC worms, Fruit Flies, Avatar Flies, Flying Ants and etc..
But after everything you have tried, Pinhead Crickets will still be the Best Choice..

Hey bro Sofian,

I think the other alternative can be lc worm, its easy to breed and they multiply really really fast. if you keep 30 of them it will multiply to 1000 in a month.Problem for food was solved thanks to bro Ricky and bro Randy for introducing lc worms.

p/s : I think bro Randy have tons of them, try get some from him or I can bring some for you my next trip to sg next week. Bro Randy gave me about hundreds of them last time and now i have thousands of them 

cheers,
Jason

U can get banana, mango, papaya or orange fruit,.. put it outside ur house under shaded area.. leave it for awhile or 1 day.. den alot fruit flies will come to eat.  Personally i prefer banana or mango.. 



U can use small case to scoop the fruit flies in for FS to eat..

Its as simple as ABC and it can be completed in less than 1-2 mins.
Choose the big fat juicy fruit flies for ur FS eat...
