Anyone have this type of beautiful spider (thiania bhamoensis) as pets.?
I collect these spider when i was in primary skool time. This spider can lives very long if well taken care of.
I like its colour.. striking blue/green stripes on its body. If keep in dark places, it will turn dark colour, put to bright area with sunlight.. its colour will grow nicer. Its harmless wont bite ppl1.

No pet shop selling these spider. Have to catch at some bushes especially places where got alot daun sirih leaves.
I miss those days when i have this fighting spider.

How come? These spiders can eat insects.. Last time i feed them with mosquites, baby flies, ants , etcs.
Give plain water to drinks. Easy to look after.

I've learn my lesson last time.. alot ants went in the spider case and eat my spider till left its head only.
Just need to put it spider case surrounded by water to avoid ants goin in to eat the dead
insects and also the spider.

I can keep my spider for almost 1 year or more. Its fat, big and strong. about half my thumb finger size:lol:

Last time i saw in Chinese newspaper got pic of the fighting spider and its owner.. damn big leh especially its 2 claw.. really big size too its body.
Sure win alot of fighting match.

Yeah.. alot of ppl keep the spiders in matchbox but i prefer to keep in inside the round Trebor sweet case.
Use nails to poke few holes on the top for air go in. Flip the Trebor case upsidedown and theres the fighting ring.

I give the spider plain water, sometimes rain water or air embum early in the morning. Give them good training exercise like walking on thin string stretch far,
mirror fighting, etcs. My spiders won quite some matches in school days and some of my friends also ask me to help taking care of their spiders when its injured or kecut liao after lost in
fighting match. Just isolate the spiders for few days and keep them well.. and it will be ready for fresh matches.

Normally i only let the spider fight among same size so when lose, it just ran away. Some of the matches is very exciting where the spiders can fight few rounds solid matches
Terkam-menerkam , flip each other, break one of it arm or even fight till the death.

Best tip for making the spider aggressive in fighting is put it facing a female spider 1st to make it "Gian" before the match with other male fighting spider. Chances to win is very high

The big ones are hard to find. It can kill other smaller fighting spider easily. Some of my friends sell those fighting spider few ringgit depends on its size and fights won.

I loves fighting spider. Their fighting skill and style is excellent

NOwdays.. hardly ppl play fighting spider liao.. but its out there always.

Hahha.. those days when i small la.. i take good care of my spider and feed them well.. Train them so they can win in fighting match ma...
Some of my friend dunno how to keep spider, most of their spider died very fast coz din get enuf water of food 2 eat.

Its very easy to catch mosquitoes or small flies alive and feed my spider. Just get a book and a see through plastic cup, scoop the small insect into the glass close using the book. Later release the spider on the book and blow some air to make the spider still. Later open the glass abit and put the spider into in. Then sit bacb k n enjoy see the spider hunt and eat the files or mosquitoes..

Added on September 26, 2007, 1:02 pmYo... do u know how to catch the spidert? I don't want u try to catch the spider but end up getting it killed.

Fighting spider in the wild is not easy to catch.. they can run n jump away very fast.
Last time some of my friends try to catch it using hand. He tried to scoop the spider using his 2 hands between the leaves but the spider is crushed to death.. "Kemek" Some accidentally break the spider arms while try to terkup the spider using their hands.. Kinda dumb right?

Some of the good way to catch these fighting spider is to use Trebor round case. If u see the spider hiding in between the leaves. Open and move the trebor case to top and bottom of the leaves den close it. The case will cut the leaves end and the spider is caught inside the Trebor case ady.
Another way is to blow air "Tiup" at the spider so it will freeze and cant move, put ur hand close to the spider and it will jump onto the finger den open ur spider case and let it jump into it, close it.

Wa.. great fight. The spider tat got push to the end corner gave a strong fierce counter attck back. After that it seems like losing the fight and runs off..
Not sure coz both spiders go under the leaves ady.. Both ur spider?

Some spider will retreat abit but later will attack back again and can win also. Some lose coz of fighting at a disadvatage position at the rear end of leaves / match box / other spider nest in leaves..

Yeah.. spider who are kecut badly, badly injured in fight sick, too hot/cold weather and not taken care well...... will suicide de. It will force its own two big arm into its mouth till die..


This guy spider is quite big..
