Hi guys,

Been reading this forum since beginning of the yr when I caught some FS in Bedok Reservoir for my kids. Only read once in a while due to work. Still keeping 3 average sized FS(only 1 is a fighter) and an unknown jumper which looks like an FS but is not (read from earlier posts that its a Hylus Diardi?). Just curious can anyone explain the various terms used to describe the FS like sup-pau, kim-pau etc as I don't understand hokkien nor chinese lol..

hi krauser, welcome u on board. ok maybe I can help you with the different kinds of pows here. spider bros correct me if i'm wrong tongue.gif

these are the different kind of pows in colour terms :

kim pow - fs with golden shine on head and adomen (not many)

green pow - fs with green shine on head and adomen (very common)

blue or lam pow - fs with blue shine on head and adomen (very rare)

black or orh pow - fs with no or slight shine on head and adomen (mostly chop fs)

king kong pow - very large size fs

these are the different kinds of pows in fighting style terms :

sup pow - no fighting style. walk slowly or jump and pounce on opponent directly. a very fierce type fs. usually very little or no arms pushing. it just bite and bite with the determination to kill its opponent. will get killed or seriously injured if match with a strong fighter.

kop pow - when it see its opponent, it will charge straight at them with an angry fighting stance. it will launch an initial chop at its opponent and sometimes follow by arms pushing or most of the times biting.

gostan pow - it will usually dance around and moving back gradually with its fighting stance at its opponent. a fair fighter normally.
and last of all we have couple pow where u find a male and female fs together in the same nest and also the brothers pow where two or more male fs are found in the same nest.

anymore to add bros ?

Thanks! Now at least I know pow also refer to FS and not the edible white buns.. rclxms.gif

Talking abt Gerald Drive, I was @ Lorong Buangkok 2days back where alot of lorries are parked by the side. Was there to catch Crickets for my other non Fighting Spider which prefers bigger insects. There is a small trek crossing the canal into a forested area where I saw a large patch of wild pepper leaves. Didn't go in coz undergrowth was thick and I was only wearing slippers whistling.gif. Did manage to catch 1X average sized male FS(but scared type) but that was on the hedges along the road outside.

Krauser:  Can you take a picture of your big jumper and post?  We can probably ID it.

Sure, I could do a short storyboard for you biggrin.gif I've decided to name it Goku btw

Top view. Made him sit on a container housing one of my medium sized FS having a meal so can compare the size difference. Can't compare side by side or the FS will confirm become food. As of today when I measured him (body only from start of head to end of abdomen, he measures 11mm).

Attached Image

Goku's face, notice the very visible mandibles. I felt a sharp poking feeling like a needle once when allowing it to move underneath my forearm (below the wrist area where the veins are visible) where my skin is thinner, could be he's just testing out the taste or his mandibles were itchy, but since then I've only handled it on my hands and nowhere else on my body sweat.gif

Attached Image

Was taking Goku out for his walk on the potted plants outside one night and then noticed him going into his 'predator' stance(more about this stance later), then he lunged at something underneath the leaves which was out of my line of sight. When I found him a second later, he already had this spider. shocking.gif

Attached Image

A few things I've noticed:

1. The hunting stance adopted is different from what I noticed from my FS. FS usually will do their normal jumping stance and then lunge at the prey. Sometimes the FS misses or the prey escapes(especially with bigger prey) causing the FS to be disoriented for a while before noticing the prey again and repeating. Once the prey is captured, it still moves for a while when the FS is feeding on it (poison not strong?) For Goku, he goes into a stance very much like a cat hunting a mouse (keeping low body profile and creep up v. slowly on prey). Only when he's 100% certain, will he go for the kill and he never misses nor will the prey escape even if its bigger than him (I've feed him regular sized crickets before). Also the prey stops moving almost immediately. He's quite picky about his food, preferring prey around his size and has eaten 3 medium sized FS before (2 male and 1 female back when I just caught him and still blur thinking its a King Kong Pau FS). Lately I've been feeding him with crickets or grasshoppers which I catch when playing outside with my kids. Didn't bother to buy the crickets from aquarium shop as they make a racket at night and anyways am only feeding him about once in 3days.

2. It appears that he does not necessarily reside in between leaves as I've noticed him before spinning a nest which looks like a tunnel sticking to the edges of a corner of the top of the rectangular tarbau container I use to house him. He then suspends himself in this tunnel. Sometimes he does spin this same tunnel but on a smaller scale in between leaves. His web feels stronger than FS web and can get quite irritating when playing with him on my hands, thats why now I just let him walk outside once in a while.

3. When faced with a male FS, he opens up his arms for to access the threat and then acts disinterested. The male FS by this time has either also lost interest and turned away or has unwittingly crawled too close to him. In both cases, they end up as food (Goku turns around and chops right when the other uninterested male FS turns away). Sorry I don't have videos; I did try but find it very difficult handling 2 jumpy spiders at the same time with a videocam in my hand rclxub.gif Wife finds spiders too creepy while the kids will only end up shooting my face or my body instead. Trying to find me a suitable tripod so I can have 2 hands free. icon_question.gif

3. I caught him on the 6th of May @ Bedok Reservoir park. I spotted him resting in between leaves (no nest) and he jumped down when he made eye contact with me. Waited 5mins around the foliage he jumped into before he surfaced and I scooped him with my plastic bag rclxms.gif Happy like seow thinking I caught a King Kong Pau until his strange behavior slowly unfolded. Funny thing was he was the only spider that I managed to catch that day for almost 2hours. I was all the while thinking the area was an FS habitat as I kept finding a number of FS spiderlings and empty nests but never an adult male or female until I found Goku. Now as I think back, maybe they had been food for Goku? shocking.gif

So much for Goku, the yet unknown species (i doubt its a hylus). Here's some pics of my FS.

1st King Giddra - Was actually a couple FS caught @ Mac Ritchie Reservoir Park one Sunday evening while out with Family for a walkabout.

Attached Image

2nd King Choji - Named him after the fat char in Naruto coz he likes to eat, even dead ones and ones left behind by other FS. Caught him wandering around the plants early morning walkout with my kids @ my HDB rooftop garden nod.gif (NO Kidding!). Was very surprised to find FS habitat right at my doorstep, but very few and mostly spiderlings.

Attached Image

This FS I just keep coz I find the colour is nicer but can't fight at all unsure.gif .. is this consider a lam pow? Looks like blue shine to me whenever I look at it or compare against others.

Hi Krauser, what a hell Giddra and Choji u have, nice body, arms and size....definitely can put up a good fight with some of the bros FS here. Bro Yuda has quite a collection of good breed, want to try to have a match? He is currently unbeatable, unseat him and u can become the King of FS here...haha
Bro Yuda, seems like u are facing more and more tough guys here laugh.gif , I believe Bro Krauser Giddra and ur Megadon can have more than 1 minute video, really looking forward for this Mega Giddra match
*
Haha Ken, Giddra's just a medium sized FS la.. saw from latest posts U got yourself 2 giant FS from NTU. That place and the area all the way up to Lim Chu Kang should be infested with FS coz last November during my reservist when we did a deployment somewhere around the Muslim cemetery north of the area you guys combed and I caught 3 average sized all fierce fighters during a short 1hr break. Played with them a while then released them scared they die of heat.

I should be able to join you guys as well but only on weekdays(not this Friday though) like bro Trevally coz of work and weekends are family time tongue.gif . Otherwise, I don't mind driving to meet any of you guys for a matchup on weekends if you guys happen to be around Sengkang/ Punggol area on afternoons preferrably. Very curious by all these size classifications of small, medium, medium-large, large, king gong etc so I wanna see and next time know what size FS I caught. Also wanna see how my FS matchup to you guys as well biggrin.gif

BRoZ need some info abt lim chu kang, some 1 wrote in the forum abt the muslim cemy got some FS,but its'll be nice to noe which path of the muslim cemy,becoz there's alot of path there...
*
Hi Ksiao, I caught in the forested area north of Muslim Cemetery Path 21 (I think) . Not sure if that area accessible to public as it was during my reservist last Nov and anyways the tracks leading to that area is more suited for a 4-wheel offroader. Why don't you turn right into Lorong Danau (http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_19862/travel_site_1/). That track leads northwest into more forested area which is secluded and the road is suitable for normal cars if I recall from the recce done back then during my reservist.

Ken25, this is the road I was talking to you abt this morning. That forested area is linked to the NTU spot where you guys hunted so should be the same standard rclxms.gif

Had a great time today meeting with and discussing FS stuff with you guys (Kenz, Ken25, KopPau and Kenz friend wasit Vincent?). and thanks Kenz for the baby crickets and where to buy them biggrin.gif My FS all now look like Bu lol. Those things must be super yummy to FS. Doesn't really matter if Giddra lost to one of the kop-pau( was it Laze?) coz I gained alot of info on training them. Will try them out if I can get a solid Bu from my HDB rooftop garden rclxub.gif

Saw the Robocop vs Caca video on KopPau's cam. Man.. I dare say fight of the yr, so action packed notworthy.gif

Think can only hunt week after coz will be goin KL for short holi this weekend. Prolly bring Giddra there and release the rest . cry.gif

Today's hunt was indeed quite fruitful for Bro Evil Pokchop(JJ) and Bro Kenz691, They both got 1 Large size fs(abt Terminator's size) and few Kop paos, the 2 big fs were caught shortly one after another(not more than 1minute) both really made me go "wow" at first look. These 2 fellows were running and hoping around(homeless), at one moment, 4 pairs of eyes(including a passerby uncle) were staring at where they were trying to go sweat.gif . In quantity, i think total we caught abt 15 today, but half way during the hunt, due to the insufficient of containers, we played the "knock out" game, threw away the losers 1 by 1.....But try not to go Yishun Park around near evening, too many joggers and passerbys.
*
Haha bro ur description so funny biggrin.gif . Almost interpret it differently..The 4 pairs of eyes looking at which 2 fellows running & hopping around? The 2 FS or Porkchop & Ken691?Must be damn large FS to attract so much attention..

Haiz buay tahan my FS so lousy cry.gif so yesterday decided to check out the famous NTU hunting ground since my client was nearby @ Bukit Batok. Reach there 3.30pm but saw grasscutters in action along the road where you guys hunted. Drove instead into the SAF Trg ground via Lorong Danau and parked my car abt 100m from the gate then jumped across the road barrier on the right side and started hunting along the dirt track. Not much, only worthy of mention were 2 medium large FS with normal fighting style. They are now my new 2nd and 3rd king.

Might be checking NTU again sometime later this week with Bro Trevally. Hopefully it will rain today or tommorow to wash off the debris covering those leaves from all that grasscutting. Saw alot of small fallen branches with leaves intact on the ground also. Not sure if caused by grasscutters.

BTW I still have hundreds of baby crickets even after sharing with Trevally..I think the lady gave me way too much. If any of you guys want some just let me know.

QUOTE(Evil Porkchop @ Jun 23 2009, 11:42 AM)
I guess you should, your attire was really off. Haha. So hot n damp and you wore till like going for executive meeting.
I feel like challenging BTL FS soon before my Kops n Sups become weak. BTL, when will you be free to meet up n challenge?
*
Walao really long sleeve shirt and leather shoe attire? Bro Trevally, just pack some clothes in gym bag and bring along la.

I also want to see BTL's bullets and maybe take some the leaves he uses to house his spiders to see if I let my spider stay in those leaves will become bullet also or not. brows.gif

Hi FS bros!

Waaaa... saw lots of interesting updates since I went on short staycation @ Sentosa last Friday. Managed to catch abt 4 FS behind Palawan beach there. 1 of them good size around M-Large caught in pandan leaves. The rest were released coz never bring container laugh.gif Kept the 1 FS in plastic bag.

Just returned yesterday evening shacked. But shacked also one of the 1st thing I did was to check on my FS. Phew lucky all still alive and kicking rclxms.gif though hungry.

Didn't manage to rank the newly caught NTU FS that Thursday night after catching them with Ken25 & Trevally so I tried them out after settling down. Not surprisingly the medium sized couple sup pow beat all of them 1 after another except for a M-Large size which I remembered losing to this couple sup pow when we were sorting out our catch @ the training shed behind the NTU spot. This M-large pow which I call Trix fought quite a fierce match about 10-12secs with the NTU sup pow (decided to call it Maim) most of the time they were grabbing each other doing the tango around the leaf, but all the while I can see Maim was locking Trix's left claw in an awkward position trying to bite it off. (This same thing also happened last Thurs when fighting Ken25's garden sup pow, Maim was holding on to it's left claw even when Ken's sup pow was trying to run away.) Eventually Trix somehow overturned Maim and then they roll into an upside down ball and Maim retreated. I think i made the mistake letting Maim fight too many matches.. as it was my first chopster, I didn't know they could be that fierce with never say die attitude. He was injured after fighting Trix and was lying flat on his back with legs all stretched out shocking.gif . Sprayed a fine mist of water on him and lucky 1hour later he was up and about sweat.gif . Gave him a small cricket and he ate rclxms.gif Never will I pit him against so many opponents next time.

I agree with BTL, FS gain experience after fighting and seems like Trix has learned how to defend against the initial chop of Maim from the 1st encounter when freshly caught. So current standings for my FS are:

1. Trix (Currently my largest FS but when compared against Joy looks abit smaller)
2. Maim (M-sized NTU Couple sup pow)
3. Palawan (M-Large FS caught in pandan leaves behind Palawan beach Sentosa, quite fierce, injured Gridda)
4. Gridda (M-Large Mac Ritchie couple. Old FS which may lose to Wayang which went missing yest nite but just found this morning)
Unranked - Wayang (M-Large NTU wide stance FS. This FS likes to pose, gelek, go-stan alot before engaging rclxub.gif Beat all 4 sparring FS)

Got 4 more medium FS of which I intend to keep only 1 as a sparring partner. Will release them @ my hdb rooftop garden brows.gif

BTW I caught all my NTU FS inside the vegetation across the road from where U guys usually catch. Wasn't planned, I just decided to go in there coz I saw large leaf-type plants in there and also to get as far away as possible from Ken25 tongue.gif. Cannot hunt near him or else he will spot and catch the FS 1st shakehead.gif

Waa.. now like got alot of large sized FS running about. Seems like most of them caught in NTU? (Terminator, Robocop, Aries, Joy, anymore?)

I think its time to pay Mac Ritchie a visit. It has probably refreshed. Need to wear my army No.4 pants and a greentop to hide from the rangers hmm.gif

wah bro nice collection of firece FS,if u going mac let mi know bro, i will join in too

Ksiao, lemme solo first see if kena caught or not in that forbidden land.. brows.gif If not waste ur time also..

Anyways tried to rank the missing FS Wayang just now, he beat all and had a great fight against Maim. I feel Maim haven't recover fully yet.

Here's the video. Wayang's Bu escaped when taking him out. While trying to get the Bu out of the way, it caught the attention of Maim which was already waiting on platform and got chopped by Maim rclxub.gif . By then Wayang noticed his Bu kena chopped and all hell break loose at the side of the platform. shocking.gif

Wayang VS Maim

The broken off leg belongs to the Bu btw, I checked both FS after the fight all appendages were still intact however Wayang hurt his left claw and Maim as usual, lie flat on his back with legs spread out motionless. 1hr later he had flipped back up and is normal. Don't understand this bizzare behaviour, somemore 2nd time already. Any of you guys seen this before? I feel Maim haven fully recover yet (notice the weak initial chop and he jumped backwards at the start), maybe he need 3 days M.C ? wink.gif

So latest standing:

1st King: Trix (has beaten Wayang before on the day both were caught)
2nd King: Wayang
3rd King: Maim

Gridda and Palawan relegated to becoming sparring partners and releasing the rest. No time to take care of so many FS rclxub.gif

Hi Guys,

Just a spider habitat location update by me yesterday @ Mac Ritchie since managed to get off work early and can go jogging there also flex.gif .

Reached around 3pm, parked my car at the MSCP and immediately headed to the area where I caught Gridda sometime in May. Its across the floating platform just before the forest trail that joggers use, turn left up the stairs. Got a whole row of bushes. Found instead lots of abandoned nests which have been invaded by black ants cry.gif Only a few Bu scattered along the stretch and zero Kang yawn.gif . Bashed through into the forested area behind the bushes also didn't find any Kang. Found instead other big scary spiders between the leaves.

Almost 5pm, fed-up headed to the canteen there to get a drink. The route back to the canteen has rows of spider lilies lining the path. Took a peek.. eh got Bu. drool.gif So I squatted down and began browsing along that row all the way up the canteen. Seem like got alot of FS here, but the Spider Lily's posed me a challenge coz I have to repeatedly bend down and up making me giddy and my back-ache started to act up. There where also huge trees with creeping plants on them which seem to have nests on them but to get to them I will need to trample on money plants on the ground. Better not coz by this time got people already. All in caught 2 small FS which I released on the spot since they ran when faced against each other and a medium sized FS which I brought home. The medium sized FS lost to 1 of my sparring FS doh.gif so released at the HDB rooftop garden. On the bright side.. the jogging @ Mac Ritchie put me in relaxed mood again after the frustation smile.gif Nice scenery there brows.gif (referring to both nature and the erm.. you'll know what I mean.. hehe)

Where did Yuda catch his Megadon and Cacadon btw? The way Trevally described it seems like he caught it on the creepers on one of the huge trees near the canteen?

Anyways for those who don't know CB tree or why its called a CB tree. Here's a pic of the CB leaf source from http://www.flickr.com/photos/dedamselfly/2...in/photostream/. biggrin.gif

Bro Trevally, I scared of your Hunter la, he's an endurance fighter with good defence, bigger FS also lost to him. I think tonight probably a repeat of the previous challenge.. Your Hunter will most probably whack all my fighters 1 by 1 like Kung Fu movie like that. I'l confirm with you if I managed to reach home before 9pm.

Bro Ken25, I think should DHL over the female chop that Viper has instead coz she's their trainer! Release her into your corridor garden and soon you'l have an army of Garden Chopsters!

there's a round 3 fight between hunter and maim but didn't manage to capture down the video as where after round 2, maim went to the side of the container and hunter chased after him. both met and fought another round which resulted maim getting more injured and hunter totally shacked out. kudous to maim for being a brave heart.

arghh all the videos not so clear as the lighting at the void deck wasn't that bright. haha bro krauser, next time we have to use a torch light like what bro btl did.

Ok just for the record, I'l explain what happened during 1st round Hunter VS Maim coz even Trevally didn't see as he was looking thru his cam viewfinder and when the fight started my left hand was blocking his view. That night dunno why all my fighters so alert; all of them once jump on platform straight away go into fighting stance whereas Trevally's fighters all seemed distracted so it was the same during this fight, Maim was already in fighting stance advancing on the distracted Hunter who was at the edge of the platform. Closer and closer he came but Hunter still didn't notice until CHOP! shocking.gif Hunter kena chopped from behind. At that moment I tought liao la.. better stop the fight to save Hunter but Bro Trevally was telling me to siam coz my hand blocking his camera view. Sorry Bro my fault, I think we missed at least a good 8 to 10seconds of the fight from the delayed recording. cry.gif

Anyways your Hunter somehow was able to turn around and block at the very last minute. Kudos to Hunter man, I've always believe he was a solid defensive fighter from the 1st time match up with Giddra. He must have gained enough experience points to level up! rclxms.gif That night Maim was fresh from resting 2 solid days and Hunter took the full brunt of Maim's initial 1st chop which is normally his most powerful. 2nd round onwards not much power left in Maim's chops and he was purely fighting on willpower.

Post match, yesterday night played abit with Maim(just jumping on my hand no sparring) he's actively back to his normal self, eating and drinking well. I should've named him Wolverine; he has amazing recovery power. flex.gif

Dunnoe if my Trix can beat your Hunter leh.. Ur Hunter prolly level 2 now but my Trix only level 1.. rclxub.gif Weekend probably can meet with others also if they want to spar also after 2pm. Record in daylight brighter I think.

Added on July 2, 2009, 3:44 pmgot the latest update from krauser. he caught a M-L sup pow from NTU.  rclxms.gif good effort bro. this coming sat if able to meet with up with u guys, sure will have a very interesting show ! !  drool.gif

Sad to hear Aries died also. May he RIP. Based on how BTL described Aries earlier when he was first caught. I think this sup pow is going to be the same. It walk like going to die like that and Ken25 was even able to tell it was a sup pow just by looking at how it moved when I just took it out of the plastic bag. Naming it Scud becoz he's a long range attacker but with poor targeting; keep overjumping.

Nothing spectacular during yesterday hunt @ NTU with Bro Ken25. I caught 7 but most of them except 1 medium fighter cannot make it pass my sparring FS that I brought along for testing. Ken25 lost count how many he caught but amongst those which he took home were 2 M-L normal fighters and a medium kop pow. Scud beat one of Ken25's M-L fighter and the medium kop pow but then tired out after that. Ken25 caught the other M-L fighter while sitting down at the bus stop towards the Squadron where we parked our car when we were about to leave. It's head looks HUGE! drool.gif . Dunnoe whether he's serious or not when he told me he was going to bring home those FS to train (normally he releases them back). If he's really gonna train FS for sparring with us, this could be very interesting.. thumbup.gif

Hi bros..hows work this week? Although not working for me yet, but is a slightly busier week for me.

Bad news is now Robocop is rubbing the leaves liao. sian....but he is still agressive towards fs like the female. Beginning of the week , Robo's female companion i felt prob can lay eggs. So i took her out to put her in a container alone...Guess what, she laid 22 eggs the nxt day!! I counted the eggs. Took her away from Robo cuz i thought she might have felt pressurised cuz a male is ard. After laying , her abdomen became small straight away! i fed her 2 crikets per day fearing that she will feed on her eggs if she is too hungry. From then, she has been staying ard her eggs. They are now bright yellow in colour n will become milky colour when almost hatching. Ken25 says prob take 2 weeks to hatch. I gonna watch this batch of spiderlings grow man! Most imptly, they are most likely Robo's genes/babies !

Anyone got any advice or suggestions to help Robo become healthy again?? gd ventilation is maintained in his container too. but his legs are like not sticky anymore.

Tomorrow hunt  at 2.30pm at the carpark of SDC (singapore discovery centre). See you guys!

Alamak Bro, Robocop condition sounds similiar to my sup-pau Scud's condition 2 nights back. His legs can't even stick to upside down leaves. But today seems better, can stick to leaves but not very well yet on plastic surface. I fed him a weakened cricket( I squashed it a bit) and left the container overnight without the cover. I just covered it with some leftover 3M Air-con filter carbon netting (Those 3M Carbon air-con filter comes in 2 pieces; 1 piece the white fluffy stuff and other piece black carbon netting to remove foul smell). I got this idea when Maim almost died after a long fight with Trix once and I just left him in between leaves totally uncovered overnight. Next morning ok leow, lucky he didn't run..but he was like dying anyways so didn't matter to me that time.

Seems like fresh air is the key here and thats why I'm setting up a plastic aquarium similiar to Bro Trevally's but with drilled holes at the sides for better airflow and just money plant in soil. Later when complete I'l post pics of my version.

Hope Robocop get well soon and post pics of the eggs! biggrin.gif

Pity am free this afternoon but on Mob Manning Alert Amber with my Mob Centre @ Selarang Camp so SDC too far if kena recalled. Will instead accompany Bro Trevally later on his tour of Sengkang/ Punggol FS habitat and fight our 1st Kings nod.gif Update us with results of the hunt later! drool.gif

Ok here is my version of spider habitat using plastic pet tank.

Items required:

1. Plastic pet tank 10 by 6 inches in area, 7 inches high - $7.00 bought from aquarium shop @ Tampines St 81
Attached Image

2. Money plant - $1.99 from Giant hypermart @ Tampines . I find it just nice to fill up the tank.
Attached Image

3. Plant soil - $1.99 Giant hypermart @ Tampines. Soil from the Money plant pot not enough.
Attached Image

4. Netting - free from Bro Trevally rclxms.gif

Total cost $11.00.

Using a wire cutter I cut out the top part of the cover as I wanted maximum air and light.
Attached Image

Then using a portable drill, I drilled holes in random pattern along the sides to improve airflow.
Attached Image

Pulled out the money plant and arranged them in the tank. Dumped in the additional soil I bought to level.
Attached Image

Cut the netting to size so so that the cut-out cover can 'clasp' the netting to the tank properly

And walaa.. the finished Spider Rehab Center intended to house spiders for recovery purposes. thumbup.gif

Bro Krauser, nice FS case set up. thumbup.gif
Very creative with drilling holes from the side rclxms.gif
The bottom part have water retention tray as well to protect from ants attack.. nice.

Yo Bro Viper, thanks for your comments. I feel like drilling more holes along the bottom just above the soil level, so cooler air comes in below and hot air goes out from top hmm.gif I didn't use water retention tray actually, felt that a few ants coming in might be actually good so the spiders can self feed tongue.gif

Some pics of the inhabitants of my Rehab Centre biggrin.gif

One of my injured sparring FS recovering, feeding on a mini daddy long legs that I dumped in the tank.

The only single Bu in there right now, hope she don't kena gang raped

I pu Trix in last nite to let him enjoy the fresh air. This morning, woke up and I saw him feeding on baby cricket he caught himself rclxms.gif I have dropped in about 5 baby crickets in there and they can jump up using the leaves as a stepping board until the top of the tank sometimes, so should be self service for the FS in there haha.. smile.gif

Added on July 6, 2009, 10:00 ambro krauser, the pet container u bought looks much bigger then mine. what's the diamension ? u really put in much effort to make the spider rehab center.

Thanks Bro! Dimension is 10" X 6" X 6".

Waa.. looks like I have to put Maim and my recently recovered and in-form Wayang on special conditioning training leow for our next match up VS your army of Cacadons haha. Bring it On! flex.gif

Speaking of my original 2nd king Wayang which was out of action since he hurt his front left arm while sparring with Palawan, yesterday I put him through 2 sparring FS, Palawan and Maim and he won all except for the final match VS Trix. Mabee too shacked but he pushed Trix till edge before Trix woke up and pushed back making both upside down.

Wayang VS Trix (Trix won)

Alamak.. video is very dark so sorry.. crappy old Sony T7 cam recorded at nite.. doh.gif

Bro BTL, I tought U had a tank setup before? Actually should be the other way around, I got the inspiration from yours leh tongue.gif Recalled you posted some pics of your tank setup before.

Past few days been been sad.. so many deaths of FS.. Robocop, Joy, Aries, Chillipadi, Scud and Bro BTL I think lost a few more also cry.gif

May all the FSes RIP..

Anyways talking about FS hunting grounds, saw in the news about Wild Boar traps set by poachers in Lim Chu Kang area which has injured a few people and even maimed a Dog's hindlegs.. So better don't try there yet.. not worth a broken leg..

Contractor falls into wild-boar trap in Lim Chu Kang forest and breaks leg

This place Lorong Murai where the contractor kena was one of the places I wanted to recce with Trevally 2 weeks back when he applied for leave to hunt in NTU. Its the same forest linked to NTU FS spot. Lucky Bro Ken25 that day happened to sms us he was already @ NTU waiting for us and we decided to hunt @ NTU instead.. Else mabee it would have been either one of us in that hole? shocking.gif

Some trivia to lighten up the sombre mood, some from dug up old posts

The Kumo Gassen - an annual spider fighting event in Japan
They got formal judges and feed their spiders liquor and vitamins! I suggest Bro Kenz691 be the first to test this since he seems to have access to an unlimited supply of liquor. tongue.gif

For those interested in setting up a spider sanctuary for your valuable kings, I'd say this one made by Mindstorm takes the cake! All round netting so free flowing air from all sides! thumbup.gif

More pics can be found in post #819 on page 41 by Mindstorm.

Bro Ken25, is the Jaundice 'yellow freak' spider you caught look like this? Dug up the pic from an old post by as SGer by the nick of Ass.

Mindstorm & Mangroove jumper also caught it in Cameron Highlands before with video below:
Cam

Bro Koppao, try reducing the size of that video below 10MB using video converter. I used magic video converter(got free trial) when I had problems uploading before.

Ya rainy season now making it difficult and uncomfortable to hunt. Think I'm gonna wait till its dry again, hopefully FS moulted during wet weather into bigger ones! icon_idea.gif

Anways update on my FS

1st King: Trix (M-Large)

Sparring partners in no particular order. I don't have a true 2nd king as these jokers below sometimes win, sometimes lose to each other depending on their mood rclxub.gif

1. Palawan (M)
2. Wayang (M) - ate my only true chopster Maim in the rehab tank this morning
3. Gridda (M-Large)

Bro Trevally tomorrow either 3pm or slightly after 6pm can fight our FS. Got RT from 4pm to 5.30pm let me know which timing U can make it k..

it is on the same side as the CB leaves.
yes lalang... it is the 1st time i experience FS at lalang plants.
but their size is disappointing.. as i hv high expectation for FS in lalang plants.

anyway, u think Bukit can spar with Trix ?
