So has anyone ever kept Tunnel Web Spiders (is that the correct name) you know the ones that build trap doors and jump out to catch prey? If you have would love some info and any pics what so ever :)

Thanks
 
trap door spiders..funnel web spiders are quite dangerous, lol

i had one back when i had my collection, very cool and interesting spider
 
sounds like a cool pet were can u get them
 
being themost deadly spider in the world, i imagine someone's kept them lol
they'd have to have comeout of australia, i think that's they only place thy are.
 
yer, i had one in my garrage... around the bush area they are pretty common, they also hide in your pool at the bottom, look like leaves...
 
im currently keeping a pair of liphistius malayanus. theyre only about 3", but are awsome. one of the most primitive spiders on earth.

i have kept red trapdoor spiders in the past (either idiops or Gorgyrella). they are one of the most aggresve spiders ive owned, atleast when they feel threatened.

i would love to own a funnelweb spider some day. but i doubt they will be available any time soon
