They're actually very clean. Before feeding on their prey, they spin a sheet of webbing, and wrap their food up so it doesnt spill all over the place. When they defecate, it's an expulsion of liquid, basically just excess uric acid, like bird poop. They take weeks to digest a meal fully.Originally Posted by DarkShadow
Will they get along with my fish?
Hey smokehound,You're welcome. :)
BTW, if any of you guys in orange county that live around open scrubland see the spider pictured below, please PM me, I'm searching for this species, looks like a Hogna species, but is actually Schizocosa maxima, a giant wolf spider. If you're scared of them, and dont want to catch them for me, I am more than willing to catch 'em for ya. Just PM me!
I am attempting to collect data on them to better understand this species, as well as breed them into the hobby. and there is no useful literature you can find by google searching. They get huge.., 3-4" legspan.
I will have different arachnids for sale soon.
I live off of pch and warner directly in back of the bolsa chica wetlands. I usually run these wetlands 3-4 times a week and have been amazed to see/observe what I think is the type of spider you are looking for (Schizocosa maxima). The first time I ran into one of these was completley by mistake, while tying the laces to one of my shoes. I'm definitely familiar with the common wolf spider and was amazed to see just how huge this creautre was. I didn't attempt to catch it and as I came closer it seemed to notice me but wasn't bothered by my interest. I'm sure you can head out there and find one of them, if I happen to encounter this spider again I will take a picture and pm you.
happy hunting!

I've noticed that over the past 4-5 years Brown Widows have definitely begun displacing the Black Widow.
Makes me wonder whether the Brown Recluse will ever establish a population in California.
