Added on February 6, 2008, 11:49 pmSounds like viper may have a small chop?
Yeah, very tough to get chop. Like hitting lottery. I had a very healthy average sized chop last year but unfortunately no videocam that time.

Actually Bro1, Bro2 and Blurman a bit of red teeth. Maybe from the videos not that obvious. Must see head on under good lighting when showing angry face, can see the base of their pedipalps are red. I will try to capture better shots.

Right now in grandma's house in seremban. People in front of me playing blackjack.... I aint playing so I use my sis's laptop to access this tread thru EZnet...haha!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!! May everyone have a prosperous and fruitful RAT year!

Sigh... 3 cannot fight. The one that can fight size i think is same as Lowland. Not really good fighter also. Win bro1 and topman due to size.

Sounds like you have a chop? Does it show angry face before fighting?

I have hardly caught any spider from sugarcane leaves in my life. Maybe most places i have access to does not have sugarcane. The one i have seen before got absolutely no fighting spiders...maybe those sugarcane too mature and tall.

Yeah... i also heard Kelapa Sawit area spiders are super big and fierce... I am planning to go check out this claim this month.

Yeap, the average size male spider caught from sugar cane leaves show angry face and fighting position when it saw its opponent.
Eventho it size is smaller, it terkam from behind. I was suprised and didnt expect it at all. Luki Liliy didnt injured much coz the chop was a light one and straight away fight back. Actually i just wanna train Lily to make it a better fighter. Even in 2nd round it still dare to fight Lily.
No video the fight coz i tot its a no fight match coz of the size..

Yeah, the early pic u compare Big Head with which spider. It size so much different leh.

Included are some of the type of leaves where i caught my fighting spiders.





Okla.. gtg go Pai Nien.. Happy CNY.

I found quite a few spiders in the pandan foliage at the back of my house Could nto catch them though...they are quick and my brother started freaking out when one landed on his hand he cabutted into the house XD

Yes, fighting spiders can be found from pandan leaves. U need to cut its rear leaf slowly and bring it to clear wide place then only open its nest. The spider will be wild abit, use ur hand move slowly and let the spider jump onto ur hand or plastic case.
Use a proper case which have small holes for air flow in out and remember to place a leaf inside.

Just make sure its a fighting spider not spider Hantu..

Added on February 7, 2008, 11:24 pmNot fight with grasshopper.. but as food. The small grasshopper can be found in places which got alot lalang.
Yea... spider oso eat ants as part of its diet food. Last time when i play spider during my young days, its easier to catch ants than catching small flies. Just kill some small ants and throw inside my spider case. Lazy to catch flies so just feed with ants. Sometimes if got time will fed the spiders with small flies.

Yeah.. abt the house flies. I dun thinks theres any problem. Spiders living in the wild eat most of the small insects and have a good digestive stomach. It can even eat its on species of fighting spider if its hungry.
There one pic a jumping spider caught a house flies and eating it. Hm.. will try to search and post it here. If the spider is fierce.. it will chop and kill the flies and feaast on it. I 've also fed my spider with house flies once a while last time during my skool days. I fed my fighting spider with many variety of insects .. din c any problem oso except its getting fatter. The current spiders i have doesnt seem like to eat or drink much.. even small flies oso it willl eat only eat after 2-3 days.

One of the spiders i caught from Puchong...cannot fight one, so i did not name it. Let go already.

Aishh....so sad. Yesterday evening I came back from seremban and found 2 of my males escape from their containers because i did not close them properly. Bigguns and Blurman!! I searched the house and found back Bigguns under a rag cloth hung on my staircase railings. It was in a very thirsty mode. So i let it drink amd eat...now back to normal. Cannot find Blurman.. properly walk up the walk to the airwell windows and go out to the roof already. I was planning to breed Blurman cause of its fighting skills... he was in the category of Quietman. Not big, but excellent fighter. Guess now just concentrate on Bighead. Others no plan to breed them.

Here's wat I willing to sell
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/628268

wah.. fighting spider also can sell.

2 bad Blurman escaped ady, didnt have chance to fight with my spiders oso. Good tat u able to find back Big Guns. Ya.. fighting spider alwys look for empty space to crawl out.. once it escape, it will run wild or hide/pretend dead.
Wa.. u goin to sell off most of your spiders. Only keep Big Heads? Too many spiders not easy to look after, have to make sure theres enuf food and drink supply, have to clean case and change dried leaf oso. If 1 or 2 fighting spiders okla. Hmm... i'm interested with big n fierce fighting spiders. Big Guns, Big leaf looks tempting

During CNY, i show my cousin who never saw or play fighting spider bfr. Its a great fight displayed by Lowland, Banglo and Lily.
The winner is Banglo defeated Lowland 3-0. LowLand eventho lost, it didnt chicken out and can continue to fight fiercely with Lily. Can see some strong arm pushing and more than 3 chops by both spiders. Both the spider fight fiercely and in the end LowLand won. My cousin oso thought Lily was injured coz all the fights are fierce. Lucky no broken arms or teeth both the spiders.
Since my cousin is interested, i gave him a young male spider which have just change skin. He and his family will come KL visit me on Sunday and i plan to catch few more fighting spiders for him.
They will stay in KL my house for few days.

Back to KL yesterday evening. After rest, in around 6pm went out and look for more fighting spiders. Caught 2 adult male average size spiders from Nipah and Pandan leaves. Both spiders only have 1 right arm + 6 rear legs. It left arm maybe lost during fight? or ants attck. Caught a few females spider oso. Put each female spiders for all my current male spiders.
Later at nite, i let the 1 right arm spider fight. I didnt expect good fight but was surprise both spiders can fight quite well oso. since both spider only have right arms, when facing each other fighting, their arms cant hit each other arms and like hitting airs only. Got about 2 chops and one of the spiders retreat.

This morning went for jogging and later start hunt for more fighting spiders. Seems like i'm on spider craze ady.. lol..
This time able to find 1 big adult + 4 average size adult male spiders (some quite young/small male). The big one is the biggest spider i've caught so far. I released the 2 male spiders which i've caught yesterday. In the afternoon, my neighbour just came back from his hometown and he gave me another average size male spider.

He told me tat spider was walking around his car when he wanted to come back KL this morning. He caught it n keep it for me coz he know i'm looking for fighting spiders. He oso got play fighting spiders during his skool days and told me some his funny experience when trying to catch spider last time. He said when the spiders he try to catch run or hide in the kelapa sawit trees, he and his friend will pee at tat area and the spiders will come out from its hiding place coz cant stand the smell and salty pee watar.. It will be easier to catch them during tat time.

Later in the evening, after jogging awhile i went to look for more spiders at Pandan leaves area. This time i've manage to catch 1 male and 1 female spiders. Both spiders are average size. Size about like Banglo or Lily. The male 1 i named it as ROMEO. So total male spiders i got today is 7.

Keep all in sepated case properly and later when my cousin arrive in KL, i'll let the spiders fight for him 2 see.
Most likely i'll release the average young male fighter and only keep a good ones. Some will let my cousin to choose which one he wants to keep.
Dont want to keep so much spiders coz dun have much time to look after.

Here are the pics of my spider in its casing + the biggest male spider i caught today. Its like my thumb nail size. I feel its still smaller den ur BIG HEAD.
Decided to name it as ARCHILLIES. Havent let it fight yet. Hope its a great fighter.

I had an Archilles a long time ago too...he was a normal spider that turned into a chop.
Hope you have a good one there!

Lotsa fighting spider fights today!
This morning after spray some water into the spider case, i let the spiders out to fight.

Let all the average size male spiders fight 1st. Not so interesting coz some cant fight, and some just fight short while without chop and ran off.

Next comes the interesting fight.

Romeo vs Lily - Romeo won.
Romeo vs Banglo - Banglo won
Banglo vs Lowland - LowLand won
LowLand vs Archilies - Archilies won.
Archilies vs Banglo/Romeo/LowLand/Lily - Archilies won all the matches without much strong fight from its opponent.

Most of the fights is kinda short fight only. Achilies also didn't really show very fierce fighting stance. It just gave kinda selamba look only and Lily/Banglo/Romeo retreat after short arms pushing.
Only LowLand gave abit fight but oso very short push. Maybe Archillies size is much bigger or maybe the spiders abit wet after i sprayed some water so not in good mood to fight?
LowLand becomes abit kecut ady after lost to Archillies, it ran off when i try to let it fight Banglo.

In the evening, i let the spider fight again.
This time the spiders fight more intense.
Suprisingly Lily performed very well in the evening. It beat Romeo easily. It even chop Romeo lightly when Romeo is nearby not aware abt Lily presence.

Lily vs Banglo - Lily won!
1st round - arm pushing quite long and Banglo chop 1 time and Lily ran.
2nd round - arm pushing, Banglo chop 1 time and Lily counter with continuous 3 chops! Banglo ran off. Banglo seems injured abit.
3rd round - Banglo gave up n ran

Lily vs LowLand - Lily get a walkaway coz LowLand still in Kecut mode.

Lily vs Archilies - Archilies won. Still short push only and Lily backoff.

Later at night around 10.30pm. I just wanna check whether Banglo is ok onot and oso want to test fight LowLand with other smaller spider to boost its confident.
My cousin was around so after check the spiders all are fine, we start again the spider fight.

Banglo vs LowLand - Banglo won. LowLand have some confident back and willing to fight awhile before retreat. Earlier LowLand defeated other smaller spider bfr fight with Banglo.
Banglo vs Lily - Banglo won!!. Both fight fiercely and can see few chops from both spider. This time Banglo wants revenge and gave strong counter atttk. Its quite a long fight but in the end Lily lost.
Banglo vs Archillies- Archilies won. Still easy win for Archillies but this time can see each spider chop once. Banglo back off. Maybe its tired ady or maybe Archillies is too big n strong.

Lotsa good fight today.. too bad i didnt video it coz i want to see the fight direct without bz trying to record the fight properly.
Need to find challenger for Archillies ady, Mindstorm wanna fight ur spiders win me again?

Fighting spiders are really amazing tiny pets. The way they fight is really superb and interesting.

I have already let go 3 smaller male spiders which cant fight well in the morning.
Will let go 3 more average size male spiders tomolo. Plan only to keep some tat r really good fighters.

Cheers,
v_viper88

Wah piang eh! Two days you had so much activity with your spiders ah, viper! I just came back from seremban, was playing Dota in internet cafe with my frens from Singapore, i used sniper kena whack kau kau by viper(if u play dota u know wat i mean). Now you caught a Huge spider, i think my spider will kena whack by ur spider also!

I see ur spiders fights a lot of Ding Dong..win then lose then win back. All quite equal. Your Archillies look young but yeah, it is big.

Tomorrow i still on leave. Call u la. Wont write much now. Now want to sleep already.
zzzz......

BIGHEAD MET HIS MATCH!!! AND RECORD LONGEST TIME DOCUMENTED MATCH... a gruelling 22 seconds match!!!

I met viper yesterday for some great fighting matches. I brought along only 2 spiders, Bighead and Bigguns. But before that I also caught some new ones, 6 males. 6legbigman, Noname, Redleaf, Forgot, Smallchop and Smallkecut.
Yes, finally got a chop but unfortunately it is small. However now we have a documentation of a true chop.

Here are the fights we had. I uploaded video only for the good ones.

Archilles vs Bigguns
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6nbbEf64fE

Banglo(win) vs Red leaf - 1 chop
Banglo(win) vs Red leaf - 1 chop
Noname(win) vs Banglo - 1 chop
Noname(win) vs Lowland - 1 chop

Noname vs Lowland - 1 strong chop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_1DGXuRDyo

MATCH OF THE DAY!!! Simply awesome!!!
Defending champion Bighead is on the right. New Arrival Archilles by viper is on the left.
The 2 superheavy weights "chap ma bou"(showoff) for 20 seconds before fight.

After some pushing...

...Archilles launch a strong chop which sent Bighead backwards.

Bighead countered with some arm biting

Some twisting between the 2 gladiators, Bighead manage to lift Archilles a bit.

Back to some arm waving push

For a moment, again Bighead manage to carry Archilles a bit

Archilles nearly flipped Bighead!

Then Archilles mustered all its strength and sent Bighead backwards a long long way!!! Lots of grappling and pushing and Bighead was totally in defensive mode!!

Holy cow! You got to watch the real video to see how it ends!!! Incredible wrestling!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uPncA-m4Tk

Romeo vs smallchop... notice the huge size difference and the aggressive chop.

The match was painful to watch. I winced a few times before it ended.

Archilles is a very very aggressive fighter. How he pushed Bigguns out of the way, then he tilted his head multiple times to try to bite Bighead. I think Bighead will become a better fighter with this type of experience once he heals. Both spiders had to be exhausted after a fight like that.

I like the chop. It's funny how he was ignored by the other male until he started biting. I hope you can use him to convert the other spiders to become chop.

WAKAO!WHo wins!Viper geng sial!Shit lah!I think Archilles is very skillful and strong....OMG,he is smaller den bighead abit rite....

Yup.. Archilles is a fierce fighter and doesnt retreat easily. From the start fight with BigGuns, it push BigGuns all the way down and gives a strong chop n lock BigGuns. Archilles den carry BigGun and keep pushing it backwards and suddenly BigGuns able to breakfree n immediately ran away.
No 2nd round fight coz based from the 1st round fight.. BigGuns cant give a strong defend or counter attck n Mindstorm doesnt want to BigGun to get injured.

After defeated BigGuns, Archillies get some rest for short while.
We fight other middle weight size spiders.

Hmm.. Mindstorm the match between NoName and LowLand...
After see the video few times, i feel LowLand won. NoName give a strong chop at the beginning but LowLand manage to defend and lock NoName , it push 90degree before NoName breakfree and ran. LowLand gave a chase. Its abit confusing coz both spide turn very fast and get mixed up. I think we get the spider switch ady.. lol. U try c the video again.. Maybe i c wrongly.. Both spiders looks about the same. Maybe i'm wrong..u try n chk the video.

The Best fight is of coz Archilles vs BigHead.
Archilles is light pale green, its easier to differentiate from BigHead.

Both spider fight fiercely and its their natural fighting instinct to fight defeat its opponent.
Its a fair fight coz direct face to face fight and no chop from behind, both spiders are about the same size. Archilles is only slight smaller abit and kinda thinner than BigHead.

Both spider analysed each arms width and potential to win the fight for quite long.

Archilles gave a strong arm push at the beginning and chop BigHead 1st, force BigHeadto flip/swap position and Archilles gave another chop again! Flip/Swap position again!

BigHead counter with strong arm bitting and almost made Archillies flip to breakfree.

Archilles manage to hold on balance well, Bighead gave some chop pushing Archilles up abit but Archilles counter with lock, 2 chops , start pushing BigHead 2 steps downward and gave another strong chop forcing BigHead to flip/swap position again.

Achilles then gave another powerful chop! forcing BigHead to move upwards.
Archilles again chop BigHead making it move futher up some more! BigHead then managed to lock both Archilles arms!!

BigHead start to stand up abit higher can c its back body moving up also and gave a strong POWERFUL !! chop at Archilles and push Archilles downwards. The chop n push was so powerful making Archilles lost balance before retreat from the fight by turn upside down to break free from BigHead tight arms lock.

BigHead won the fight but was injured. It dragged one of its arm, rubbing on the leaf and was moving abit blur in circle after the fight.
Archilles was still active and seems not injured. Its still can fight after move back up to leaf surfaced but i block it and carry with my finger.

From the fight, its obviously tat Achilles gave out alot of powerful chops attack, more chops than BigHead. Archilles also attack fiercely, forcing BigHead to flip/swap position 3 times, it oso push and carry Bighead downwards and then upwards. Its the tight lock, strong powerful body chop and push by BigHead at the end that make Archilles retreat coz fight in a dangerous position.

No 2nd round fight coz BigHead already injured and Mindstorm not willing to risk BigHead safety if continue to fight.
Cant guarantee what may happen if fight again.. maybe Archilles might won.

Great fight! Thanks for the video Mindstorm.
Its been really long time i didn't see such good strong fighting spider fighting with no fear and very skillful in locking, flip/swap position pushing and strong chop attack!!!!.

Hope ur BigHead is recovering well. He's a good fighter!

I'm equally impressed by the performance of both spiders. Archilles being the active aggressor, showing amazing determination to try to topple Bighead and Bighead for its staying power, it just would not let up, even after having to "berundur"(retreat) so far.

In the final seconds, Archilles was chopping Bighead and even trying to lift Bighead.
(viper mentioned it as Bighead being forced to move upwards)
Archilles bottom.


I can't help but to think Bighead had ladyluck just in the final seconds when he managed to flip Archilles. Being flipped caused Archilles to be in a helpless and out of control position. Otherwise the fight would have carried on and Archilles may win. Viper is right to say that Archilles flipped because it was trying to get out of the lock position. This means Bighead didnt really intentionally do anything to flip Archilles.


If I would to bet on the second round, i would bet on Archilles. Bighead was maxed out.


Yeah, if there is a difference in size, it would be Bighead being minutely bigger than Archilles.

From here, we can also see that larger spiders tend to fight a bit slower and not as fast as average sized spiders.
I also noticed in the beginning, Archilles arms was waving faster than Bighead's.



Bighead is back to normal. For the record, it is the 9th of Jan when i started this tread to find Bighead a challenger...now 1 month and 3 days later on the 12th of Feb, the goal is met. And this could very well be the fight of the year, not just the day. Kudos to you, Viper.

yeah, u could be right as I can see Lowland countered.

Actually the middle size spiders i also not really sure the sequence because I didnt record down! But i think it was something like that huH,viper?
