Hey Guys,

You guys still catch fighting spiders?? i used to have many of them back in the school days and now after reading this forum my passion has just struck me again. I'm hoping to join you guys for the next hunt. I'm from Damansara, to be honest i lost my touch with fighting spiders. Few things i might need to catch up again with you guys would be:

1) Care for the spiders
2) Catching the spiders
3) Comparing a good/strong spider from a bad/weak one

Regards,
Anil

Bukit Cahaya. - Shah Alam

The Bukit Cahaya seems like a good place to have outdoor fun activities.  icon_idea.gif

Nowdays everyday also rain sia... very difficult to hunt FS after rain coz most of the leaves also overlapping each other coz of rain water.

Hey Viper,

All big jungle area with lots of banana plants, coconut trees and pandan leaves. Lots of spiders there, but lately im not sure la. Damansara Area got ah? 1 day we should road trip to Ulu Yam or Gombak jungle and go find la.

Viper, Bukit Cahaya sounds good, lets try that. I have tried Taman Tun, but the only area I found with lots of fs are the red leaf plants very near the parking lot. But......there are lots of ppl around, haha. I have walked the entire upper route, didnt find many, very scattered. I have yet to try FRIM in kepong tho, havent been there for a looong time. Most of my fiercest fs are caught from Kenny hills, and most are decent size. Its a pity i dont have a video cam, i have 5 avg size fs, and I cant determine their 'king' positions because they are so evenly matched so results keep changing. Tonight, 1 got injured badly, all are fierce, sad no video. Gonna let them rest for few days liao.

One thing I learned from past 2 days, i dont think its a good idea to feed fs water before fight. They become quite lethargic, but will still fight. It was like a slow motion fight, hmm. Lets meet up this weekend. Mind, viper, anil and myself, shall we? Say sat morning?


Added on November 16, 2009, 11:15 pmSad sad sad night, haizzzz. I just lost Vishnu, my biggest FS. Not sure how he got out, but he's not in the case.  cry.gif Really no mood liao, sighzz. Haizzzz!

Hi Mindstorm

The spider i caught from Congkak River is same like u caught before.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/608348/+80

After i feed the spider some light bulb insects.. now look quite big size. Bigger than average normal FS... when it jump can feel its landing impact also.. but definitely not as large size like Giant bu.


Added on November 17, 2009, 7:23 pmTry check at those area with leaves which can provide good shelter for FS.
Pandan leaves, Spider lily plants, long leaves plant like banana leaves, wide leaves like daun keladi, short red/green bamboo leaves, daun nipah, palm oil leaves, etcs.....

You can try read the forum from start..got alot pics of type of leaves to find FS.

I also looking for best place to hunt FS... i feel those kampung area with lotsa leaves/bushes can get some good quality FS.

I usually dont go catch FS in places people has been recently, they may have disturbed and caused the FS to run away. Most of the nests might have been mucked with. smile.gif

Date - 21/11/09 (Sat)
Time spent - 1.00pm - 2.30pm
Venue - Damansara
Reason there - Offday
Venue type - Jungle
Plant type - FS Lily, Banana leaf, Palm Tree
Insects - heaps of mosquitoes!, fruit flies, giant ants.

Started off waking up in the morning with a huge hangover. Then straight went to look for FS near Flora Damansara. Been driving past a few weeks ago and noticed the jungle area and was thinking to myself that this place is gonna have heaps of FS. Guess i still havent lost my touch after all, this is the first time i've been back catching FS after atleast 7 years. This is the stuff that i managed to catch:

4 Males -- 2 Average Size and 2 Small Size young males (but very active and aggressive).
4 Females -- 3 Average size and 1 was with a nest.

Here are some of the pics of the FS that i caught today.

Altogether i caught 4 male FS and 4 female, unfortunately i had to let 2 of the male and 2 of the female go cos they were too small. I kept the 2 strongest male that i caught and the rest was released in the garden at my office. This coming week im free from Thursday to Sunday....weeee... Off to go look for more. http://s.lowyat.net/style_images/1/folder_...icons/icon1.gif
