Well, if you know friends with kelapa sawit plantations, you can always ask their workers to go catch for you during their free time. My father in law gets them to help catch lipan to feed his arowana, and them lipan are huge!!! Mostly 15 - 20cm long!!! Imagine the spiders that they can catch!
BTW: The estate you went to looks too 'cultured'. The ones in Sabah are like secondary forests!

Someone mentioned this before - about spider fighting being cruel, i do not totally agree with him, but i do think that letting 6 legs fight IS CRUEL.
My 2 cents.

Well... it seems like the 'chop' spiders you guys are talking about are actually cannibalistic spiders... or spiders who have learnt to use their venom and bite their own kind. Noticed that after every successful 'chop' the victim does not move - paralysed by venom perhaps?

Added on February 28, 2008, 8:40 pmoh..my bro(TS) caught a DEMON BUTT BITING spider...  it attacks by bitting the opponents butt...  cheater..  That is the excuse you give all the time isn't it? There is something called a necessary evil, no? Whereas by pitting a 6 legged spider against an able bodied one is not. You are doing it for your own enjoyment. Who are you to say that in the wild it would not 'kecut' and flee. Even if it were to fight and die, again it would be to defend its territory, NOT MERELY for your enjoyment. Again, i have not condemned you when you pit two equal opponents in a fight, but for me letting 6legs fight is crosses the very fine line. Since you're on to this, spider fighting (although of a different variety) is listed as a blood sport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sport#L...of_blood_sportsThis post has been edited by madmoz: Feb 28 2008, 08:57 PM |

'Chop' spiders = hungry spiders  Seems that it is a learnt behaviour - that little fella seems to have picked on to the fact that if you jump and bit onto another spiders abdomen as hard as you can, your venom will do the rest... Just curious, is this motion the same as when they hunt gnats and houseflies? Talking of jumping, had a friend in Melbourne who had to evacuate the house on account of an Australian Funnel web spider paying them a visit. |
