I share the same passion for competitive sports millions others have who loves to watch sports shows...but my passion is not for popular sports like football, UFC, boxing, horse racing etc but a very special one... fighting spiders, specifically the malaysian/singapore fighting spiders(THIANIA BHAMOENSIS)!

Here I share some of my adventures with you on my hunt for the ultimate super fighter which I plan to breed it.
Also searching for a new challenger for my current 1st king - bighead(pic below).


Hopefully some others who still catch them can share their experiences too...

Why are they so facinating? Here's why...

Disappointing as no males but did saw one medium size one which i didnt catch.
Saw wild chickens there, rooster and hens which flew away. There is good soil there which I collected to
plant plants.

Added on January 9, 2008, 11:54 pmWorth a try. Man has successfully bred many types of seemingly impossible to breed animals eg panda, arowana and all sorts of CITIES ones. It's not really that hard to breed fighting spiders. It's the rearing of the young that is tough.

Date - 20/12/07 (Thurs)
Time spent - 11am - 12.30pm
Venue - Puchong Utama
Reason there - working afternoon
Venue type - Behind school waste land
Plant type - mostly surrounded by non fighting
spider plants but several spiders caught in this small patch of combination of tapioca
plants and water type long leaves plant(which
roots has nodules), Shaded by old rambutan tree
Insects - lots of mosquitoes

Catch- 4 males
Size - small medium to medium large
1st king - All_black(last 2 pics) - almost full body black - medium large (but no show when fight big head, only long push)
2nd king - young male - small medium, let go - no show when fight All_black
2 medium size unmatured male

26/12/07 - The 2 medium size unmatured male
changed skin
They changed on the same day indicated they're probably from the same batch hence i call them
bro1 and bro2 cuz they're probably brothers

bro1 - changed first in the day, i gave water
to it, slightly larger
bro2 - changed late at night - between 10-11pm
slighty smaller
First encounter after 1 day between bro1 and bro2 - bro1 takut
2nd encounter 3 days after changed - short pushed - bro2 ran
After that bro2 is takut even though fed with mosquito filled with blood on the 2/1/07
One week into Jan - 2 brothers are no longer takut and will always gear up for a fight
This shows that popular believe that light coloured spiders with white legs are lousy fighters are true only
to a certain extend...that's because they have just newly shed their skin. Given time when they mature and their
exoskeleton hardens they can become formidable warriors. People who used to catch spiders only see the spiders
at one point in time. No one really follow how spiders can peak in their fighting performance over time.
To understand the concept, check out this very interesting article on fighting fish on the part "On the problem of change". http://www.plakatthai.com/knowingyourfighterII.html

Comments
The males were pretty hard to find. The type of plant they made their nest in was for me the first encounter as the
leaves were small and soft, not typically spiders like as a heavy downpour would certainly spoil the nest. However most

probably the dense banana trees helped to soften the impact of raindowns.

Even though the area is invested with natural food source, the spiders are not large. This gets me thinking food
availability does not wholly dictate the overall size of population.

didn't bring my camera so no pics..maybe another day I go back to snap a few.

Didnt expect much and did not get much either. Caught a fat mature female, saw a female with eggs but did not catch it. Last minute as i was going home and was getting dark, i caught a small male in soft leave creeper leaves. Also some areas with fighting spider young but cant find the adults. Caught a hantu kuning male. Saw a big monitor lizard swimming along coast of lake.

Date - 7/1/08 (Mon)
Time spent - 4.15pm - 6.00pm
Venue - TA, PJ
Reason there - Sent stocks to ss14, half day
Venue type - Public park but hot(meaning place where lots of spiders) area is behind some rich houses, quite unaccessable to general public, no one wants to go there anyway
Plant type - ALOT of ground creepers, lalang and plants-shin-deep. Near hot area are fruit trees, small soft leaves plants and long leaves plant, pandan.
Insects - lots of mosquitoes, many fruit flies, gnats, ants, grasshoppers

This is one heck of an adventure.

I used to catch here way back in the 80s when I was form one, form two. Back then the hot area was a slope area of wild pepper leaves behind a couple of houses. The spiders then I caught before got big ones but I remember they dont fight well or rather not really ferocious. Also one day when I was going there, a six foot cobra i think cross my path! But it didnt deter me, I still when ahead to catch my spiders! Back then also I remember had water rats there.

Now some parts of it is already been develop a bit better but now... the path to the hot area seems even harsher! They are shin-deep and thick and if I didnt where my long tracks it would be hell to walk through a hundred meters or so through those plants.

It's been a long long time(20 years) since I've been there and I didnt know what to expect. So i just walked. I tried to walk along a drain near the backyard of the houses but then a couple of small dogs ran out and yelp so I walked further away from the houses. I saw some trails that look like flatten plantation here and there and I followed them, thinking well someone may have walk through these wilderness before. I started off by catching a hantu kuning male at the base of a banana tree and as I near the old hot area I realize the slope area I used to squat around is now behind a fence and the wild pepper plants are gone and replaced with tall trees and shrubs the land claimer has planted. Also the house owner near there also seems to have planted other plants like pandan leaves, bamboo, bunga raya plants outside the private compound which I can just walk right up to. But I didnt go up to it first but walk around the area further from the houses where there are some short trees which I tried to find spiders. The plants away from the houses are those small soft leave plants and grasses which are not really conducive for fighting spiders. However to my surprise I found 2 small medium size males wandering about there. It was then
4.42m and I saw some clear areas under a small tree and as I look some more, I saw some feathers on the ground on a small patch of clear land. At that time, I taught gees... dont tell me got musang here. But this is in the middle of PJ. Just as I walk a few more steps and turn to look behind some shrubs, I saw a HUGE monitor lizard and it saw me and it scrambled away. Damn was I startled! It was about just 6 feet away and was probably basking in the sun. It was about 4 feet in body length (excluding the tail) and had a fat stomach. Damn, I didn't run away but thought it was better to walk the other way! Slowly I approach the backyards and the plants I saw was more of fighting spider favourite. There were LONG leave plants. I saw a small one here and there and knew some where must be a hot spot.

Then I came to this patch of land cleared away by someone to plant a coconut tree there. There I saw a male peering around for food. After i caught it and standing in the same spot, I saw another male with female to my right. Before I catch it, I peered around and saw ANOTHER male to my left looking around for food from a nest. Further to my left I also saw a big female peering out from its nest(got eggs and I didnt catch it). As i was about to catch the spider to my right first(which eventually was the biggest one..big guns), a third male was walking up my leg! Also a female was walking nearby...apparently I probably stepped on a nest as I was trying to catch the male to my right! Long story short, I caught all 3 males. 5.15pm. Suddenly large rain drops started hitting me...but I saw another nest (same standing spot)and decided to just tear off the leave. Another male! That makes FIVE males on one standing place!! Now this is what I call a rich area.

Before I could celebrate, it started to rain cats and dogs. I walked quickly(can't run...the growth around is too thick) to the land patch which had been worked and seeked shelther next to a large bunch of bamboo trees. but it was utterly useless as it was raining as hard as hell. I was totally absolutely soaked to my underwear. Drenched. I had to keep my camera in a plastic bag. I hang around there for maybe 15 min and then said wat the heck, might as well walk my to my car as it was also getting late. So I made my way back through the thick growth in maximum drowpour, back to my car which was another probably 400 meter away including through the park. Back on the park's walkway, I walked passed people shelthering under some park shelther but I didnt stop. Finally I reached my car and started to drive back...and then the rain subsided. Around 6.00pm. I made a puddle of water on my car rubber flooring and though... what a evening, but it was well worth it.

Catch
7 males
2 females
1 hantu kuning male - big
1 hantu kuning female

5 turned out to be takut!
Dont know wheather fighting them at 8.00pm has anything to do with it. Cause the spiders are not vigourous and looked lethargic and wanting to sleep.
1st king - big gun
2nd king - top man

I was hoping big guns would take the spot of bighead but that is not to be as it even lose to all_blacks.
So big gun is now currently 3rd king because it beat klang1 and klang2.

Bighead ranking stands.

Yeap, the black one. But usually it izit so dark. Normally its colour patterns are like the first picture(just posted) in this forum. But they will turn darker as they grow older or kept in dark containers which I don't recommend.

Date - 9/1/08 (Wed)
Time spent - 4.30pm-5.30pm ...in the car!!
Venue - Ampang
Reason there - Off day, collect photos from my relative
Venue type - Behind Jalan Ampang
Plant type - Shade - Big jungle tree(dunno name), ground- wild pepper leaves..favourite of fighting spiders
Insects - lots of mosquitoes, fruit flies, gnats, red ants

This is actually a sad story. Firstly I didnt catch anything on today because it started raining heavily 5 mins after I got out of the car. Enough time to take some pics only. I waited for about an hour but the rain didnt stop so I decided to balik.

But sadder still is because this spot is going to be gone forever as development has caught up. Earlier last year I discovered this spot because my wife worked nearby and I wandered around when I could see some undeveloped area. I caught many large and good fighters from here. It was really a rich(many spiders) area. Unfortunately at that time I didnt buy my videocam and digicam yet so I have no pic or video documentation of my catch and fights back then.

But now 3/4 is behind a zinc fence where new buildings are coming up leaving a small patch...i dunno still got spiders there as I also realize there is a lot less insects there now. In probably a few more months or weeks I think this place will be flattened as well...sigh. I'll be coming back soon to quickly save some of the population and maybe deport some of them elsewhere. Meantime here are some pics.

Yeah, guess u're rite as breeding encompass rearing the young as well. I meant mating them is not that difficult as long as you catch virgin females... yes, these spiders seems to breed only once in their lifetime. Once after a female has eggs it seems impossible to get them to mate again. I have a video on their mating. Will link it once I post it up on youtube.

Haha, let me know if u get some.

Actually after form 2, I too sort of stop playing spiders too cuz of SRP and spiders seems like a small kid pastime. Boys were getting interested in girls, video games, sports, cars and other stuff. Strangely I remember I started catching them again when I was form 6! That was because at that time I went to stay with my grandmum in seremban and her house has a huge garden with natural living fighting spiders! I even purposely went to collect wild pepper plants and plant it in her garden and after several months I caught a couple of large males!(usually their size only medium small). That time I played fighting spiders to relieve my stress as i was studying like miminum 3-4 hours a day during weekdays and 6-8 hours a day during weekends. Gees, form six was tough. Luckily fighting spiders save my sanity..hehe.

Nowadays, hardly anyone catch them, because the living environment for most kids is so different from last time. Xbox, network games(I too was once a starcraft kaki ), internet and astro are so much more interesting AND COMFORTABLE options i suppose. This bring us to the fact that there is a very very big deterent to catching spiders. MOSQUITOES. Haha. Without proper attire and a good MOSQUITO REPELLENT, even I would't want to spend half a minute in those type of environment where you would expect to get many spiders. (Even though I am immune to mosquito bites, meaning I dont get a reaction when I get bitten. Not immume to deague or malaria though, how i wish)

Proper attire
1. Long tracks(the plastic type)
2. Shoes and long socks
3. THICK T-shirt(if u wear thin t-shirt, u mati la...those mosquito will bite right thru it)
4. For mosquito repellent I recomment OFF! cream. It is better than citronella based ones. I also sometimes have a citronella patch on my shirt for extra anti-mosquito power. Get them from a pharmacy. I make sure I apply cream even on my face, forehead, ears, back of neck and back of hand.

For gear, I have a waist pouch, about 10 small transparent pill containers, a pair of scissors and a large transparent plastic bag and a small one to catch some insects for my spiders while I'm there.

That's it, with a canon ixus I'm off to document my adventure.

yeap that't the most interesting part... seeing the white face. I remember i sold for rm3 only. Ur gang must be more interested in fighting spiders than mine back then.

Wah! Nice spideys u got there!

That first place is your garden huh? I wish I live in a place with natural population of fighting spiders living outside my gate. Nowadays many housing area is devoid of fighting spiders because before housing development starts the whole area is usually clear right down to the ground...only can see yellow clay soil. Hence hard to get spideys. Like the place i'm staying now. SS2 is one of them..i used to live there...cant seem to find any there.

I notice however KL and north to KL like TTDI, Ampang, Wangsa(and now like your place) have older housing areas and have natural population there even in the house gardens. Yeah when i was a kid i used to go around people's fence where their plants grow out and catch spiders there too. Now adult already cannot la... sure people will dial 999!

I remember in singapore once when i was cycling i saw a group of boys kena tahan by police because they climb into people's house to catch spider in their garden. Neighbours called police i think because the owners were not there. Then this boy held up a big transparent plastic bag full of spiders!! He didnt bother to separate them in containers maybe because too many... i saw like got 6 or 7 males in one plastic bag. The two adult policeman also scratch head...maybe cuz they know the boys are harmless but just naughty. so they dunno wat to do. I found it so funny last time. hehe.

Wah. Your banana leaf spider size look quite sizable la. Not bad. Wanna challenge my big guns? if can win big guns then can challenge big head. hehe..

One of your pictures while fighting the spider was quite blur. What happened there? Kena throw izit? Hmm...but i think not, looks like maybe rushing forward... cuz the other spider still displaying fierce stance.

Why not name your spideys? I name my spiders cuz sometimes i catch so many of them i dunno which is which so i give them funny memorable names.

This post has been edited by mindstorm: Jan 15 2008, 01:57 AM

heh. not expert la...just someone very interested in fighting spiders. I have a character that when i am interested in something, i will go very very deep into it..researching it, studying it, trying new stuff. I like to try stuff other people havent try before...

i grew up in nature environment mah cuz my grandma's house is just beside a secondary forest. But now also partly developed. The forest used to have wild boar, wild chickens, sang kancil..yes mousedear.., spider monkeys,musang and i believe got malaysian panther. but now i think most of these animals all gone.

i thot i was very nature person until i talked to one of my ping pong kaki(i play table tennis). Wah this guy even more keng, he is a magan guy(fix car bodies) and he loves fishing...but not in normal lake but like to fish deep in jungle lake...where no one goes before. i hear his stories also shiok. The places he goes are like pahang jungle where got tiger also. That i really scared. He also catch monitor lizard with his bare hands. Maybe one day i will follow him.

Wah, so one bite each followed by 2 chops whereby 2-Big did not run, then followed by 3 chops! which QM did not run and one last chop which won the fight. Talk about counterattack!

Fight analysis is a great topic to get into. With so many variety of moves, it's no wonder fighting spiders are so interesting to watch. Here I have a few interesting moves.

First, we have the doubleflip. The doubleflip probably occurs when both spiders try to grab each other with their HIND legs at the same time and they are fighting on smooth surface like this glossy side of a peeled-off sticker paper.

7/1/08 - topman vs bro1
picture preview
1. 1st flip - both went rolling
2. 2nd flip - both fell flat on their backs
3. Let's see who get up first!

Next we have the throw. The throw is a winner. It leaves the spider being thrown shocked and dazed. It shows how strong and powerful the thrower is.

11/1/08 - klang1 vs all black

1. The bottom uplift
2. Uplift
3. Up, up and away
4. Whoahee!!
5. Coming down

Your spidey looks nice but not very fat. What do u feed it with?
The 2 videos u took from handphone izit? The 2 videos almost the same time length but one so much smaller file size than the other! better u use 3gp format, avi very big la... i dont have streamyx yet, still dialup so very slow

yeah..i saw that research paper. Very scienficially written with words like conspecific haha. Actually i used to study in NUS... i got a zoology degree from there. But all the time in singapore as an adult...i study and work there for 5-6 years i didnt play spider. it was during as a child...primary one to primary four when i stay there because my father work there at that time that i became crazy about fighting spiders. The whole school boys was fanatic about them.

yeah... japs like crazy stuff.... but its interesting

Now got only 4 males. 2 female with eggs. 1 female carrying bighead's genes. And 2 males but havent change skin yet to adult male. We know it is males because of their big "teeth".
When the eggs hatch from one of the females then i will have potential 20-30 babies! This will be first time I try rearing from hatching to adult. Wish me luck.
Wah!! you keep so long? You mean you keep one single spider so long? You expert la. I suppose it is a male? Actually the longest I kept is only 2 months plus. Last time usually because i would have let them go or they die.
Sell? Dunno got ppl want or not. Walao, so expensive meh? Fighting fish plakat only 2-3 dollars.
Also not easy to mass produce.

What happened to the spider u saw when tying ur shoe?

pictures
1. Male that havent change skin. Notice the big "teeth"
2. Compare the size of the actual female's "teeth"
3. My males houses
4. Topman

So how to prevent the throw?
By grabbing on to your opponent!

Topman(left) vs Bro1(right)
Picture preview
1. Arm waving push
2. When topman try to execute the throw(how i know it is trying to throw? can see topman tilted its head and arms upwards), notice how bro1 grab on to topman with its hindlegs! (video : at 13s)
3. The fight continues where bro1 launch a series of ferocious bite attempts
4. But topman ultimately won by successfully biting bro1 left arm which sent him scrambling!

Isn't fighting spiders exciting!

Actual video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37YbgDt6xfU

PS. And this is bro1 which when 1 day after it changed skin, i tried to fight it, it was kecut.. see other spider, straight away ran. So don't underestimate white leg spider if you catch one...keep them for a couple of weeks and see...

usually the area must have a few criterias
1. shade
2. supply of insects (plants in the middle of roads you wont find)
