The reasons for the appearance of more spiders in the house. What eat spiders poultry spiderman at home
Dehydration
Sometimes the authors received a spider suffering from extreme dehydration and exhaustion, mainly due to negligent circulation or delivery problems. The first thing it should be placed, headband down, in a saucer with water at least forty-five minutes. If he continues to drink, leave it there for a longer time. Behind the animals should closely monitor at this time so that its abdomen and light books are above the surface of the water, otherwise he chokes. If after a few hours the poultry state does not improve, place it in ICU. The next day, put it in a saucer, nose down, like last time. On the third day in the evening it needs to be transplanted into a permanent, more dry terrarium equipped with a mandatory capacity with water and stone.
Extreme exhaust
Poultryists can withstand without food for about a year, sometimes longer. However, this is strongly stressing them, and they can be in death.
When it becomes clear that the spider is exhausted, in the evening he is offered one cricket. If it is not eaten in the morning, remove it. After that, the spider should be offered one or two crickets every other until it starts. If the spider looks active and able to stand up for itself, not eaten immediately crickets can be left for several days in the terrarium, provided that they have food - for example, a bottle cap filled with soft flakes.
If the bird is weakened due to exhaustion, it is possible to offer him food only in the evening. The room should be weakly lit or not covered at all. After turning off the light and until the morning, no one, even the owner, should not enter the room or anyway otherwise disturbing spider. Of course, as soon as the spider is planted in the main terrarium, neither its nor the terrarium should be moved until it starts to eat normally.
Sometimes it is reported on cases of refusal of food for a long time. This is especially often happening with Phhxotrichus spatulata, It is also known that one person of this species has not eaten for twenty-four months without a visible cause. Until the spider loses too much mass and in general, it also looks healthy, should not worry about this.
A spider owner, starving a few months, can try to raise the temperature in a poultry terrarium, not forgetting, however, that 40 ° C (104 ° F) is, in all likelihood, the highest safe temperature when trying to stop hunger strike. Another option is to slightly spray the terrarium with waterproof water temperature with a sprayer. Do not use the sprayer, which ever was used for the pesticides and do not direct the powerful water stream on the spider, so as not to cripple it.
The authors had once one such spider ( Brachypelma albopilosum) Which escaped and could not be caught for more than six months. Once in the morning he was found half. He was treated from dehydration (see above), and in two days he was given live crickets. He did not eat them, probably due to weakness. He also proposed after this flour worms ignored.
All living crickets were caught, one was killed and crushed so that his internal organs and liquids were visible. Dead cricket was leaning toward one of the front feet of the poultry pair and left so for the evening. In the morning, the cricket disappeared. The same situation was repeated for the next evening. On the third day, live crickets were launched in the terrarium, whom the spider ate at night. Subsequently, the poultry person fully recovered.
Problems with mild
Death against molt
Before continuing the discussion, we must once again emphasize that the birdist lying upside down (that is, on the back), quite definitely does not die ! This is normal preparation for molting. Dead poultry people are sitting in a standard position (with eyes up - the heads of the book), having fed up his legs, traveling in some way on a hand clenched into his fist.
Make or die
Linka is the most significant period in the life of a poultry spider. Starting to lift, he must either shift successfully or die. What is something like the birth of a mammal, with many of the dangers associated with this process. In the mammal it happens once in life. Spider - once a year. According to the experience, we know about three types of problems that may arise from spider during molting.
The myth of dehydration
The hypothesis is widely known in which the spider contained in excess dryness will have problems with a mol. She has not yet been irrefutably proved and remains under a big question.
Since seventy percent of the mass of these creatures is water (Stewart and Martin 1970), it is assumed that they should have enough molting fluid even under the most severe conditions. Accordingly, these authors push another hypothesis. If only the poultry person does not die from dehydration, it can remove all the required water from the internal sources to maintain the old exoskeleton softened. For molting, the humidity of the surrounding air, in any case, is unfriendly. This assumption is also supported by the fact that the spider flourishing the skin leaves some water on its inner surface, which is noticeable by the wet gloss. Therefore, there must be other causes for molting problems (see below).
Slow Linka
Most often, the problems with molt arise from a poultry page due to physical weakness caused by old age or illness. In this case, the cause of difficulties is a failure in the physiological processes of the animal.
Worst of all, if the poultry person can not pull the legs from the solid rings between the segments of the legs of the old exoskeleton. These narrow rings are also hard and unsinkable on the fresh skeleton of a very young spider, as in the skin of very old. It is also true for birds who did not have problems with a molt, and for those who had to be surgical to extract from exhaustion. The degree of moisture of the old exoskeleton does not matter - the rings retain the harsh in spite of everything.
Physical state of spider critical. If, due to age or illness, he does not have enough strength to get out of the skins, it will lift too long. Over time, the rings of a new exoskeleton will begin to harden. Soon they will lose plasticity and will not be able to pass through the hard rings of the old exoskeleton.
What can be done to help poultry to overflow? There is a hypothesis (the authors had no opportunity to check it in practice), which is useful to lubricate the spider joints immediately in front of a linky with a small amount of glycerol with an artistic brush. Glycerin, perhaps softening the rings or serve as a lubricant that makes it easier to pull out new legs. Special attention, apparently, should be paid to the articulation of the third and fourth segments of the legs, as well as the fourth and fifth (counting from the pitchheads, that is, the articulations of Femur with Patella and Patella with Tibia). After molting, it will probably be neatly washed off the remnants of glycerin from a new exoskeleton.
Of course, you need to be extremely careful not to damage it just overflowing and, accordingly, a very vulnerable spider.
In addition to these simplest action, we can only hope for the best with the approach of the molting period every year ..
Jam
Another reason for an unsuccessful molt may be damage. If the foot was damaged so much that the gripped scar was captured by the entire thickness of the exoskeleton, then during preparation for molting, the scar can prevent the separation of the old exoskeleton from the new. Actually, the scar will serve as a spike between the old and the new skin. During molting, a new exoskeleton, with all the appendages, will not be able to free himself from the old one, and the animal will be trapped.
However, in this case, there is still hope for a successful outcome. A poultry whale can discard the stuck leg and complete the linke, in spite of everything. Indeed, the authors had at least one bird, who threw the stuck leg during molting.
If the owner of the poultryman has noticed the problem in time, he can self-like spider leg. No matter how terrible it sounds, but the poultryists have the advantage of people that the loss of legs are accompanied by their relatively weak pain. As soon as the amateur understood, which stuck out of the legs, it is quite likely to be enough to quickly twist for her, turning slightly to separate it from the body.
However, this is a risky event. In this way, it is possible to take the poultry of irreparable harm. The owner must bear full responsibility for such actions.
Some never give up
One of the rarest cases of an unsuccessful molt may be an attempt to a semi-cream male to overflow after the last molting. The reason why the female males is not able to successfully transfix, it may be that their bullbobs and tybial hooks are stuck in the old exoskeleton. If the owner detects a similar opportunity, he can lubricate the tips of the poultry poultry glycerin and raise moisture in its container to prepare for molting. With carefully, there is a significant probability that the male will survive the molt-link. Can he mate with the female? Will he be able to fertilize her?
Surgical method as an extreme measure
If the domestic poultry has difficulty dropping the old exoskeleton, he can help him, but only very neat. First, make sure that he has the truth of the problem, and not just a pass. If no progress is observed for six or eight hours, you can already assume the worst and start an operation to save the animal.
Do not move the spider without necessity!
If it is important to move it, do it carefully by moving it into a piece of tight cardboard. After moving, leave the spider on the cardboard.
Start with a set of necessary equipment. You need good, reliable tongs or tweezers with small, but not pointed tips - such can be found in cosmetics stores, school laboratories and tool stores for scientific research. It is important to have a large magnifying glass or a low-power meadow for jewelry. An ideal would be a low-power binocular microscope (about five times an increase) from the Biology Cabinet. The authors use glass with a three-time increase that is attached to the head on the head and is usually used for the manufacture of hours and other fine work. Absolutely necessary lighting.
First dissolve one or two drops of soft liquid dishes in 235 milliliters (one cup) of tap water room temperature. Thoroughly moisten the spider solution, which is supposedly stuck in the old exoskeleton. Carefully drip the soap solution with a pipette or overlap with a cotton wand. WERE LIGHT Books from the solution in them. If this happens, the spider may choose. Within the half ancase, the solution should start softening the exoskeleton. Wait another half an hour to determine if the spider can be released itself. If it does not work, continue the operation.
Most likely, the spider is already free from the plates of Carapas and sternum, but perhaps it will have to be released from them manually. These plates are connected relatively thin membranes. If the spider cannot reveal the plates yourself, these membranes should be broken or cutting so that the plates can be removed, and thoroughly impregnate membranes with a solution is vital.
As soon as the plates are finally separated from the spider, try to determine if the exoskeleton with the abdomen was removed. If you are not sure if it is, consider that it is removed, and proceed to your legs. If he is clearly not separated, it needs to be tried to separate. Do not show excessive aggression, sniffing this skin. Be especially careful with light books. The soap solution should not get into them, and the inner membranes, if they have already become visible, should be very carefully seized.
Feet is a special problem. It is impossible to determine how new fragile limbs are located relative to the old segments, since the spider has already managed to partially pull out the legs from the old skeleton. New membranes are extremely vulnerable, and there is a real likelihood of damaging them, trying to remove the old exoskeleton from the legs. Exceptional caution should be observed. Powerful rings, fastening the segments of the old exoskeleton, you must carefully break and remove the tweezers. Exceptional caution should be observed. Powerful rings, fastening the segments of the old exoskeleton, you must carefully break and remove the tweezers. At this stage, the presence of at least a jewelry magnifying glass or a large magnifying glass. The binocular microscope is much more preferable. After that, it is necessary to remove a thinner of the matter covering the segments between the rings.
Work consistently, just released one joint and one leg. Often resting. The most dangerous to make an incorrect movement due to fatigue, nervousness or impatience. Be careful - do not pour the exoskeleton. The new exoskeleton is still incredibly soft. Important not Hang connective membranes or exoskels under the old skin. After removing the old exoskeleton, carefully rinse the soap solution with a spider weak jet of tap water room temperature.
Congratulations. Now you are an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spider eczuivietomy. (Board this before your family doctor!)
Postoperative care
After an unsuccessful linky, the poultry person may refuse food for several weeks or even several months. Do not despair. Perhaps the poultry person is trying to align his mouth, esophagus and a sucking stomach. They usually linen along with the exoskeleton. If the problem is in this, the animal must solve it itself. Poultry worships are able to starve a strikingly long time, if they have water and, most importantly, if they are in good physical condition.
After such a painful mire and surgical extraction from the exhaust, spider can be so weakened, which will not be able to eat, drink or even move. It happened to a very old female APHONOPELMA. Unidentified view belonging to the authors. The poultry wagon survived the unsuccessful mongle on May 17. One of the authors (SAS) spent a few hours with a magnifying glass on the head and various tongs and tweezers in their hands, releaseing a spider from his old exoskeleton. After that, the second author (MJS) was literally manually pouring a poultry twice a week.
The drinking tarantula was given a shallow saucer. It was raised on the one hand, so that the opposite drive formed a small puddle of water. The spider was placed on a saucer, so that the helixers and fangs are immersed in the water, and the rest of the body was higher. The author carefully watched him so that he did not slip down and did not choose. All precautions were taken, so that water does not hit the holes of the light books. In this state, the poultry was from forty-five minutes before the hour, then placed back to the terrarium. From time to time, about once a week, in the evening, one cricket was killed and placed under the Helicers of Spider, after which the light was turned off. Sometimes a female eaten him at night.
By September, the spider was significantly lost in weight, but periodically took food. He learned to crawl along the terrarium with the help of fangs and became surprisingly moving. However, in January, he began to experience difficulties with movement and completely stopped feeding. Unfortunately, on February 16 he died.
This poultry was very old, he was already obtained haweling and lived nine years in captivity. Without a doubt, his death was delayed for several months due to the heroic efforts undertaken to salvation. Sooner or later, death takes what she was due.
Wounds and bleeding
On doses and influence on the birds of such painkillers, like chloroform and halotan, is known very little. We know that they work, since there were cases of their successful use. We also know that with improper use, they will kill the animal. Consequently, it is necessary to use them with great care. In most countries, the state controls the vacation of such drugs, and it is unlikely that random passerin can freely get them. However, small doses of painkillers or recipes on their purchase can be issued by doctors and veterinarians
The ether has a high tendency to ignition, it is almost explosive. It is believed that halotan leads to liver diseases and cancer in the human body. Accordingly, both substances have their own minuses and should be used extremely carefully and in well-ventilated areas. In any case, the newcomer is strongly recommended to apply for help to the vet to apply any painkillers.
When using halotan, or ether or other inhaled painkillers, put a patient spider into a glass container with a lid. These substances are solvents, so the plastic container is not suitable. Moisten a cotton ball with a few drops of anesthetic, and put it in the container. If the poultry person is able to move or at least in consciousness, he will immediately be running around the tank or dear. Carefully follow him. As soon as it starts to reduce the activity, either transfer it to another container, or significantly reduce the concentration of pair of anesthetic by ventilation. Support, increasing ventilation when it seems to you that anesthesia is too strong, and reduce it when you see that Tarantul began to move. In veterinary and medical operating surgery, the only work of the anesthesiologist is to hold the patient in some non-existence between the feelings of pain and death thanks to the anesthetics. The further most appropriate plan is to take the patient tarantula to the veterinarian for anesthesia and operational intervention.
Professional entomologists and amraners as anesthetic for insects and spiders are used already known for decades of carbon dioxide. Arachlov lovers have now been convinced that they can use this tool on their pets. Carbon dioxide can be obtained from a plurality of sources: carbonation of soft alcoholic beverages, from dry ice or by adding moderate acids (for example, vinegar) to conventional food soda (sodium bicarbonate). The main problem when using this, the means consists in its use in such concentrations so that on the one hand, to produce anesthesia, and on the other hand, do not expose the danger tarantula with vinegar couples or inaccurately directed contact with dry ice. Thus, it is necessary to comply with the safety technique, ordinary to work with ether.
Professional entomologists and arachnologists also use nitrogen gas and argue that this tool works much better than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen gas has a considerable advantage that is the non-flammable substance and besides relatively unmarried. The atmosphere of the Earth is approximately 78% consists of nitrogen, but for the kiper is a relatively difficult thing to purchase nitrogen in the concentrations in which it will work as anesthetic. Cylinders of compressed nitrogen can be purchased in companies that sell compressed gases for welding. But such hardware in which nitrogen is in the associated form, such as pressure regulators, brands, etc., can be very expensive. Liquid nitrogen is available in many of the same companies (or other sources can be recommended there), but requires special tools, equipment and compliance with precautions when used due to an extremely low temperature (-195.8 ° C, -320.4 ° F). Nitrogen gas can be produced in a laboratory of fairly simple chemicals (ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite), but this should not be undertaken without leading an experimental chemist, because such substances can be flammable and even explode, if not processed properly.
Some books recommend using cold as anesthesia. However, there are still some unclear moments relative to the exact effect that the cold has on animals. Many researchers who often use pikelothers in their experiments in physiology believe that the cold does not produce pain, while its impact becomes dangerous for life. Cold anesthesia is only dulling the ability of motor neurons to activate muscles and muscle ability to respond to impulses. Thus, while the tarantula is not completely dead from the extreme cold, he can feel everything, but simply cannot react. If so, then we should not use cold anesthesia.
Violations in external covers
If the external coverings of the tarantula are broken or damaged, it usually causes the hemolymphs from them. This most often happens with an unsuccessful molting, or if the tarantula was too rudely processed, or fell from a high height. If the damage is not too serious, the hemolymph, which seeps out from under the damaged covers, usually dries off soon, and in this place the scales become clear.
If the damage is insignificant (for example, on the legs), it is necessary to simply lean the Tarantula in its terrarium and not disturbing for four to five weeks to give the wound time for healing. All this time, Tarantula is fed as usual, and in the terrarium there should always be a drink with water. Strongs will be deleted by the Tarantul himself at the right time or will be reset at the next molting. If the damage caused to the leg is sufficiently serious (that is, it can end with a large loss of hemolymph), there are two options. Damage can be closed with starch grains or fine paper (cloth) (see below). In some cases, the foot can simply be amputated. The last way may seem in the first consideration very dangerous, however, we will remind the reader that the limbs of tarantulas are built to allow their removal, which is one of its survival strategies. Although the removal of the limb is injury, but still this is the best way out than letting the tarantula expack hemolymph to death. This is done like this: securely lock the tarantula in one hand and, taking a damaged leg for the thigh, pull it down. Crushed or terribly crushed legs should be removed as early as possible before the next linky.
Rales on millet or opistosome have the most serious consequences for Tarantula and usually end with his death. Our philosophy is: it is better to try to save the animal and then fail than not to try to save him at all. Therefore, we offer these rescue options simply as experimental. The Tarantula owner must realize that damage has already been done, and it is necessary to accept the consequences that they would be.
Of paramount importance in the salvation of Tarantula have a stopping of hemolymph expiration and preventing the growth of the rupture edges. Adhesive bandages will not work on a tarantula due to the presence of coating hairs. You can make an improvised bandage from non-soldered fine fabric or a very soft paper napkin. The bandage from the absorbent paper is designed to fasten the rupture and allows you to form a stable matrix for the formation of stakes. The Chinese peasants for the treatment of wounds and damage on their own body are used exactly the same technique, only they use rice paper for these purposes. Yes, and all shaving men have ever plunged their cuts with thin paper. Dry paper should be heated in a microwave, and then put on an open wound. The paper will serve as if the basis for a lump, which, as we hope, seals the wound. If Opisthosoma is broken, urgently carry the animal to the veterinarian, which will certainly be able to find the right way out if it has broad knowledge in his business and is used to trying new methods. The veterinarian can use the suture to try to reduce the edges of the break together, as the exoskeleton is thin, and the opistosome is very skin. However, large precautionary measures should be taken, so as not to break or punish the internal organs, that is, only an exoskeleton should be processed! The suture material must be very high quality, and the stitches must be very small and accurate. In addition, the suture material should be of this type, which over time spontaneously disintegrate and disappears, because it will be impossible to remove the unprecedented parts as soon as Exoskeleton starts over. Any remaining seams will make the subsequent molting impossible, and your pet will die, despite all the efforts.
While such processing of the gap may seem at first glance a little unusual, remember that the human race was sewed through thousands of years. There is no obvious reason to allow why this practice will not work as well on Tarantul. As compensation for extensive loss of Hemolymph, you can consider intravenous administration of the Ringer's solution.
We were also achieved and when applying other methods of sealing wounds in Tarantulov. Among them is the "Triple Nail" - a hardener for varnish sold in cosmetic stores, department stores and pharmacies. Another product used with great success is "New Leather" (Medtech, Inc, Jackson, Wyoming, USA) applied to the entire surface of the wound. The authors of this book have heard about one case of using Cyanocrylate adhesive (superclocks or crazy adhesive), which was used as a means for sealing the wound.
Any of these products in which organic solvents can be used should be applied with large precautions. Not only are they flammable, but also their pairs can harm Tarantula. Use them in a well ventilated place and away from open fire. Observe the safety measures so that the pairs of these substances fall into Tarantula until they dry completely and have no harmful substances until they evaporate. Note that none of these funds has been approved for use on animals or in veterinary medicine. Their use on a tarantula or on any other animal should be considered as an experimental method and must be coordinated with the owner who are fully responsible for the consequences.
The pharmaceutical industry produces several products capable of promoting thickened blood, which is used during surgical operations in humans and other mammals. They are usually not available to a wide circle, but they can be obtained through their family doctor or prescription. Here are two medical products with which the authors of this book are already familiar - this is Gelfoam (Upjohn) and Surgicel (Johnson and Johnson). Undoubtedly, similar products and other manufacturers are available.
In case of a minor violation in the external covers of Tarantula or after the main impairment was surgically restored, one of these funds can be used to reduce or stop further bleeding. Just cut off the small part of the sheet with a blade or scalpel and attach it to the site with expirations. Thin plates work better than thick blocks. Thin plates work better than thick blocks. Spend this procedure at all places of hemolymph expiration. If there is such an opportunity, show the tarantula veterinarian, as it will fulfill this work faster than you at home.
Another strategy proposed by the authors was to use corn starch, flour or pure non-punctuate talc powder applied to the wound. The hypothesis is: these substances will prevent the expiration of hemolymph and become the basis for the developing thrombus, and later the stuffing. We do not have any information regarding what action can have fonds and other cosmetic substances on the talkes and other cosmetic substances. Thus, it is better to avoid them.
One kiper, a friend of the authors, was APHONOPELMA Seemanni, which poorly suffered a link. One leg is stuck in the old exoskeleton and as a result was discarded to allow Tarantula to free themselves. During this difficult struggle, Tarantula split his Carapace, and there was a threat to his life.
The owner spoke about it and asked the Council. He was told that he would sprinkle on Carapas and hemolymph leaks with a small amount of corn starch or wheat flour. On top, it was supposed to place a small piece of toilet paper or non-soldered fine tissue, which would be slightly more in size than the length and width of the wound. And at the same time, it should not cover the eye tubercle or go beyond the edges of Carapace.
Improvised bandage worked. Tarantul, ultimately, recovered and disappeared without problems for the next year.
Outflows with antibiotics such as Mycitracin, Bacitracin, Polymyxin, Neomycin, and Lidocaine or any such drugs should be treated all wounds to avoid infection. For serious wounds, such ointments should be applied for every second day. They are very effective in treatment and require them quite a bit. These drugs are available in pharmacies and without a recipe and are a good addition for any home first aid kit or ambulance kit. Never use any strong disinfectants of iodine type, MERTHIOLATE, MERCUROCHROME, alcohol, or peroxide. The risk of poisoning your pet is too big. Do not take a tarantula in the hands until the end of the next molting!
Frequent inhabitants of residential premises are spiders and cockroaches. Their appearance does not bring joy, but on the contrary, hassle, physical and financial costs. In residential premises, people, immensely, create their excellent conditions for existence and reproduction. Few asked questions: "Why did spiders appear in the apartment?" "Who is stronger - spiders or cockroaches?", "Does the spiders of cockroaches eating?" Is it necessary to destroy these insects? ".
Cockroach
Homemade cockroaches are the most unpleasant insects that start in the house. Scientists argue that they are carriers of infectious diseases that affect the work of the intestinal tract. Pests can get from each mistress in the house, even at the most puffly, they can get into the apartment from the neighbors that have identified the repair.
Cockroaches eat in a row: food, waste, paper, cloth and much more. They can hungry for about two weeks. Without finding food in the house, which is probably listed in the next apartment.
Harm to bring cockroaches to man:
- Are carriers of infectious diseases.
- They spoil things, climb inside the equipment, feed on wallpaper and paper bindings.
- Can get confused in the wires and a closure may occur, as a result of a fire.
- Can cause allergies.
Pests are quickly multiplied, so specialists recommend immediately take action and destroy them. It is possible to fight pests by people, mechanical and chemicals. The most effective means is chemical preparations.
- Treat the apartment with a water solution with vinegar.
- Crayfish from cockroaches. This drug is ineffective in the fight against insects, but not much toxic and safe for humans.
- Spray and aerosols. Means with high toxicity, which is not very good for a person. When using an aerosol, you should not forget about your own security, process the room in gloves and gauze masks.
- Traps. Small and poison inside.
- Alcohol. Mooding or sprayed with ammonious alcohol all places in the house where pests live.
- Smoke bombs. The most effective means to combat pests and the most dangerous for a person. Pimels have high toxicity. With independent processing of the room, do not forget about your health and precautions.
Homemade spiders
In the darker hidden corners of the apartment can be stumbled upon the web and spiders themselves. These insects live in wildlife, are predators and feed on other insects. But they can settle in a residential building if the habitat conditions are sufficient. They fall into the house through the slots in the windows, doors, in the floor.
These spiders are not dangerous for residents of the room. However, when bitees, they produce poison, but this poison does not provoke inflammation and is not toxic, it destructively affects other insects. They are destroyed only for greater coziness or if someone in the house is afraid of spiders. They appear and multiply in warm places, under the cold conditions they die.
With the appearance of domestic spontaneous insects, follow their number. If it has become too much, then bugs, cockroaches or flies started in the house. At home - this is the best nutrition for spars. The absence of spiders in the house indicates purity in the house.
Methods of dealing with spiders:
- Frequent cleaning. Initially, you need to get rid of the web, collecting it with a mop, cloth or vacuum cleaner. After using a vacuum cleaner, it immediately needs to be cleaned, and the bag is wrapped in hot water, the spider can survive and get back to the will.
- Chestnut. Chestnut fruits scare insect. The fruits of the plant must be placed in those places where spiders are more common.
- Vinegar. In a jar with a distributor, we mix water and vinegar in the proportion of 1: 1 and spray the place of accumulation of pests.
- Chemicals. In this case, you can use aerosols, tablets traps, boric acid, ordinary paint.
But it is worth recalling that the spiders are not dangerous insects and do not harm the person, so it is not necessary to get rid of them.
Do spiders and cockroaches get along in the same house?
There are moments in the house when many malicious insects appear and many spidensome appear. After all, few people wondered about the relationship of this. Homemade spids are bred in large numbers in the house where many pests appear. Since home spiders eat cockroaches, bedbugs and midges. They weave the web and are waiting that the victim falls into the trap. Then pulls the poison. A few minutes later the insect dies. At this time, the predator is hidden until the victim stops moving. This is the reason why spiders and cockroaches do not get along.
I would like to note that it is desirable in apartments that are located in old high-rise buildings, a small amount of spiders lived. They will protect the apartment from the invasion of cockroaches.
Spider-bird is a big spider, the size of which together with the paws can exceed twenty centimeters. These spiders Many fans of exotic contain in terrariums at home. Poultryists belong to arthropod, belong to the class of spiderman, the detachment of spiders, the suburbs of the Migalomorphic and the family of poultry spiders.
What does spider-bird look like, his characteristic and structure
Poultry wagon is clanistic Spider, which has an exotic appearance. He has big and fluffy legs and a very bright color, even more juicy it becomes after molting. Their body is developing, of the combined jumper abdomen and puments covered with an exoskeleton of chitin. Such cover performs a protective function, protecting the poultry from external damage, in addition, it holds moisture, and this is a very important factor for species that live in arid regions. There is a shield on the champs - Carapaks, on which four pairs of eyes are located.
In the trouser are placed digestive The organs and the reproduction system, and at the end of the abdomen there are web appendages, they can be from two to six pairs. The birds have six pairs of limbs, of which four pairs of paws, one helper and pedipalp. Helicers are used to burst holes, they protect them and hunt, thanks to them sputs drag off caught prey, they also have small glands in which the poison is located.
With very thin and susceptible hairs that are on foot, they distinguish different odors and sounds.
From the type of poultry depends on them the size. Basically he fluctuates from three to ten centimeters. But to the size you need to change the swipe of paws, it can be twenty eight centimeters. Their weight varies from 65 to 85 grams, but there is an individual, the weight of which is 150 grams and more, they live in Brazil and Venezuela.
Everything without exception, the poultryists are poisonous. But the poison for an adult is not fatal, but for small animals, he can become fatal. And he is very dangerous for young children and people in which allergies to poison spiders.
Poison poultry ends not every time they attack, they can just bitewithout using it. When the bite of the bird is poisonous, then immediately after the proceasses it is very acute pain, the temperature rises and cramps may appear.
On the body of a poultry, there are a lot of hairs that are poisonous, these hairs of the spider protects their nest, laid off his web, he also counts his abdomen with self-defense or in stressful situations.
Habitat Wednesday Poultry
Poultryists can be found throughout earth Bowl, except Antarctica. They live in African countries, in South America, Oceania and Australia are also found in Europe, but much less often than in other countries. Their habitat regions in Europe are limited to Spain, Portugal and the south of Italy.
IN wild Nature Wood spiders live on shrubs and trees, can still live in shelters that are at the ground level and in Norah. In addition, during the development, their lifestyle can change: the larvae who live in the holes, over time, move to Earth. Some of the birds give their preference to tropical and equatorial forests and semi-deserts.
Poultryists who dwell in Norah, they alone them, after which they strengthen the holes of the web. Wood birds Mastery of cobwebs special tubes. Regardless of the image of the existence, all spiders move very little and make some movements, only in the event of a lot of need or danger.
How many poultry people live?
Females Poultry worships can live more than thirty years old, they have no competitors among arthropods for life expectancy. But the males when they reach the age of reproductiveness, they immediately cease to lift and mainly dying During the same year or immediately after mating with the female.
Poultry food
Poultryists will wait their prey somewhere in shelters and do not catch it in the web. Contrary to his name, Spiders-birds do not eat large birds and can constantly eat and digest meat or birds, because they are mainly feeding insects:
A adult poultry person in power to whine a little bird, a frog, different rodents, fish and snakes.
Types of poultrying
At the moment, the family of these arthropods is divided into thirteen subfaming, which have many species. Description Some of them:
Reproduction of poultryed
Males of poultry spiders are ready for reproduction Much earlier females. When the male reaches the reproductive age, they have a cymbium on the pedipalpars, it is a tank for seed fluid, and tibal hooks are formed on the legs, which are needed to hold females during the pairing period. Before pairing the male begins to weave the web, after which it covers its seed fluid, and then fills it with a cymbium. When the male and the female are found, they spend special actions that confirm that they belong to one appearance.
Pairing, it can end in a few seconds, and maybe long for many hours. Tibal hooks that are formed on the front legs, the male holds the helicers of females, and its pedipals makes their seed fluid into her body. During the pairing, the female spider-bird can eat the male, because after mating the male tries to escape.
After some time, the female begins vite From the web of the nest, where the eggs are laid out, eggs can be from 50 to 2 thousand thousand. How many eggs will give a female depends on its species. Then, the female forms a cocoon, which has a round shape and contains a spider belly. The incubation period lasts from 20 to 106 days, during this period the female guards his cocoon and periodically turns it. If the female is hungry, then calmly can eat cocoon with eggs.
After some time begin to appear little Spider-nymphs, who first do not eat anything and live together. Once the nymph shed twice, it turns into a larva, larva, this looks like a spider, but, unlike the spider, it has nutrients in the belly. Upon passing for some time, the larva begins to lift and turns into a spider-poultry.
Link plays big role In life spider-poultry. After the spider drops its exoskeleton, it grows approximately one and a half times and can even change the color. Young spiders linen every month, and adult birds once a year. When spiders are linked, they lie on the back, and some limbs may be lost in this long process, but with the following molts they are restored. How many years spider can be determined by the number of its lines.
Before molting spiders can refuse food. Another sign of the upcoming molt is a darkening of the abdomen or the entire spider color.
Spider-bird at home
These spiders live at many at home, as they are completely unpretentious, and they can be breeding at home. So that spiders do not file one one alone must be kept alone. And also you should finish some rules when content Poultry house:

Habitat
Spidering poultry whales inhabit all the continents of our planet, with the exception of Antarctica. They are most common in Africa, Oceania, Australia and South America. In Europe, the individuals of this species in nature are extremely rare. In small quantities, they can be found in Spain, Portugal and Italy. Moreover, both wet and desert zones may populate poultry spiders.
Views
According to the manner of behavior, these representatives of clad-legged class are divided into the rooted, wood and ground. And during its existence, animals can change lifestyle. Norny spiders dig a shelter in the ground. We use the web to strengthen the soil. Ground spiders also dig shallow holes or use ready-made shelters. 
Wood dwells in the trees, whipping a web among the thick branches of shrubs.
Animals feel great themselves both in small and fairly spacious premises. That is why the terrarium for the poultry spider can be purchased any size. The main thing is that he surpass twice the size of the animal. Wood spiders are best kept in the vertical terrarium, across which you need to put a thick branch so that the pet can find a secluded place for himself. For land animals, it is necessary to pour a sufficiently large layer of the substrate to the terrarium, at least five centimeters. In addition to the fact that adult individuals are well crawling, they are even distinguished by random power. Therefore, accommodation for an exotic pet should be tightly closed with a lid on top. The terrarium should have a ventilation window, but not too much so that the substrate does not swap, which can be used in gravel, peat, sphagnum, sawdust, lichen. In the presence of several individuals of one type of spider must be contained in separate containers. This will prevent the manifestation of cannibalism. In winter, the terrarium should be heated so that the temperature in it does not fall below 25 degrees. For these purposes, you can use an infrared lamp or thermal cutter under the substrate. Since the poultryists are mainly a nightlife, lighting in the terrarium will not need. Especially since bright sunlight is even harmful to animals. The litter should be changed after each mol. And in adult individuals - every four months. 
The poultry dwelling can be decorated with snag, live moss or artificial plants. However, all the details must be well fixed. For these purposes, you can use only special glue for aquariums, other means can negatively affect the health of the pet. It should not be placed in terrarium decorative elements with sharp edges. You should not take an animal with bare hands, as the bite of the spider-poultry can be not only very painful, but also very toxic. In addition, the body of articularly covered with numerous bristles. If you get into the mucous membranes or skin, they cause inflammation and itching.
How to feed a spider-poultry?
For feeding animals, it is best to use live insects (crickets, moth, cockroaches, etc.). Food should depend on the age of each particular individual. Young needs smaller food. Adult animals should be brewed less often, but larger insects. It is worth noting that on average spiders eat twice a week. Small pieces of raw meat or fish are also suitable as food.
This process, as a rule, occurs in the "lying" position. 
The spider turns onto the back and in such a state is several hours. At this time, his sides slowly begins to crack the shell. An animal gently pulls out its limbs and selected from the old skin. After molting, the spider adds noticeably in size and brighten. In the intervals between the "dropping of the skins", arthropods are very often losing protective bristles with an abdomen. It should be noted that in a week or two to molting the animal completely refuses to eat. As a rule, for its life, the poultry spiders have a homemade linen about 12 times.
Breeding
It is possible to determine the floor of the clanswork only after molting. At the same time, the spider must be at least four centimeters. To reveal the sexuality, you should carefully consider the inner part of the reserved shell with a magnifying glass. The female can notice a small deepening in the form of a gap, and in males - pair "tongues". Adults are much easier to distinguish between sex. 
Males-birds (spiders) have pretty long legs. In addition, they are significantly slimmer females. The sexual maturity of individuals of this species comes to five years. 14 days after molting, the male begins to make a special nest, which he fills the seed. After that, the spider goes to search for females. It is recommended to place in advance in a more spacious room so that she can get used to and bother in it. A little later, you should also send the male, ready for mating. When meeting, the spider begins to make complex ritual movements. As a rule, males and females, ready for mating, use certain signals. Most often it tapping pedipals, creaking, rustling. Approaching the spider, the male fills its seed pocket with its liquid. After that, it must be rejected as soon as possible from the fertilized female. After a half or two months after mating, it will begin to play offspring. But before that, the female myster himself a big cocoon, in which she subsequently will postpone about 500 eggs. To preserve the offspring, it is necessary to place the container with the socket in the dark place. Recommended temperature - 24-28 degrees. For the correct development of kids, it is necessary to maintain air humidity in the room. Almost all the time the female holds the cocoon between the Helicers, protecting it in this way. The larvae, appearing on the 4-5 week, are in the nest to the first mink. Surprisingly, all this time they do not eat anything. So that the female did not eat their cubs, after the first molting, they should be moved to a separate terrarium or disembark one in small containers. At the same time, the feed for spider-poultry must be special. Best newborn crickets or drosophiles are best. 
Growing young pretty slow.
Safety technique
After communicating with the pet, it is necessary to wash your hands well with soap. Tilt over the open terrarium is strictly prohibited. All actions in the predator dwelling must be produced using a special long tweezers. Objects with which the animal in contact is allowed to touch only in gloves. It is forbidden to leave the terrarium in the open state unattended. It is very important that it is in an inaccessible place for other pets. When contacting spiders, it should be remembered that they cannot be tamed or extended. 
Even the most calm and sedentary poultry person, having honed the danger, can bite the owner.
Life expectancy
A spider is inhabited in Mexico, whose age is more than twenty-six years old. This is a record case. As a rule, quite large individuals from desert habitats grow slowly. At the same time, the duration of their lives is much more than in other species. Poultry spiders from tropical forests grow quickly, but, unfortunately, dying early. It is noticed that predators inhabited in captivity live significantly more withdrawn from natural conditions. At the same time, they differ less aggressiveness. Usually, the males of poultry worship live no more than a year after the last molting.
By purchasing a spider pet store, please note that it be active. His body should be slightly raised above the substrate. Pressing legs or constantly lying spider may be sick. A healthy animal reacts actively to touch. As a rule, the poultry lifts the front legs, quickly runs away or, on the contrary, attacks. If you look good, we can see that the wool will turn on his stomach. In front of a molting animals are quite slow. Usually they lie on the back with elongated legs. After - the poultryists also move with difficulty. 
Anyway, to acquire a pet that is on the eve of molting is not recommended. Attention should be paid to the belly of the predator. It must be rounded. Many arthropods, inhabitants of rainforests, have a shrouded abdomen during dehydration. There are no such birds to purchase. Bonked limbs are able to grow up at a spider already through several lines. This is not a serious defect. Nevertheless, the poultry with open wounds on the legs is better not to buy. After all, it can be infected with fungus or other infections. If, acquiring this exotic animal, you are pursued exclusively decorative purposes, you should give preference to female. They are characterized by a greater life expectancy. Do not buy and very large individuals, as they can have an old age.

In the nature of Spider-birds Active hunters. Their victims are the most different small animals - such as crickets, butterflies, cockroaches, small vertebral sizes. In captivity, the most successful feed for most spiders is cricket, but often the cockroaches are not bad. You should not give spidens prey, which would exceed half of its size. Although it should be noted that some birds are aggressive consumers (for example, Theraphosa Blondi) and can eat extraction equal to them, but in these cases there is a danger of damage to the spider itself during the fight against the victim. You can add insects caught in nature in the menu, but only if you are confident that they are not contaminated with pesticides. Pesticides used in the gardens and in agriculture are dangerous for spiders!
Spiders, as you know, outdoor digestion. This means that they, immobilizing prey, introduce digestive juice into it and after a while they suck the contents. The process takes for a long time, sometimes up to day or more.
The main food of spiders is live insects suitable size. Large individuals can eat small vertebrates (naked mice), small frogs. Young spiders begin to feed from 1,3rd day age with young crickets, drosophilic, newborn flour worms. Large spiders are fed by adult crickets, grasshoppers, large types of exotic cockroaches, etc. The feed insect should be from 14 to 13 from the size of the spider body. Larger undesirable - it makes it difficult to digest. Small insects can be given 2 -3, the spider is capable of being them at the same time.
Meat mice and frogs are quite suitable for feeding.
Feeding frequency - 2 times a week for young, frequently linen animals, and 1 time in 7-10 days for adults. More frequent feeding is necessary before reproduction. Not eaten food, even if it is alive, should be removed. The fusion spider may be stressful due to the activity of a major cricket, and at the moment of molting, a large insect can damage him not yet hardened covers.
It is easiest to feed the spiders with cockroaches, they are unpretentious in food if they forget them to feed, do not eat each other as crickets. For feeding one spider, there are enough 2-3 cockroaches per week.
Sometimes poultry spiders refuse food. It may happen for a number of reasons:
1. The living conditions (content) deteriorated.
2. Photo is not hungry.
3. Pook prepares for molting.
Some types of spiders cease to eat without visible reasons. When preparing for a mold, they may not eat weeks, and even months.

What are the poultry spiders
Latin, scientific name of these predators - Theraphosidae. They relate to the family of spiders for which the bright color is characteristic. Spiders-birds are quite large. The scope of their paws can reach 20 centimeters.
From what is the look of this exotic pet, the conditions of detention, type of feeding and how much the pet live in your home will live. Two main types are ground and wood spider-bird. They are also divided into types.
He loves to live on trees trunks. Small spids dwell on Earth, as well as the small holes.
Half-eyed spider-bird
He loves dense branches of plants as shelters. Hiding in the bushes, crowns of trees, crashes under the bark. At the same time produces a stunning amount of web.
Ground Poultry Spiders
As partisans, hide in the shelters, which themselves and break through the ground. Or crap into ready-made, but abandoned by someone earthlings. This is the most dangerous type of spiders, because it is inclined to actively hunt, suddenly attacking the sacrifice. Among them can be stray individuals, which are not very needed.
Norny Poultry Spiders
The name speaks for itself: this type includes predators living in Norah. They rarely leave them, because the underground lifestyle for them is not an example more comfortable.
How long will the poultry spider live in your apartment?
It depends on the floor. Have you decided to buy a poultry spider - female? She can live for 10-20 years. And the male dies much earlier: in a year or two of life. The lifetime of the lifetime of spider-poultry is influenced by the conditions you provide:
- detention temperature in the apartment;
- the amount of food and its feed mode;
- the presence of other animals in the spider's territory.
If your room is a wild cold, you will get sick and weaken. And spider-bird - on the contrary: it will be good as ever. Minimum food will allow him to live longer. And the oversupply - on the contrary. It lives in all the continents of our planet. Exception - only Antarctica. The optimal temperature of its content is 20 degrees.
Does the spider-bird poase? Yes. But this poison is not fatal for an adult. Although there are cases when cats or little children died from him. Therefore, be careful, taking a poultry in the hands. It is not recommended to do similar to pregnant women and especially those who are inclined to allergies on the poison.
If the poultry spider is still bitten, the poison may not penetrate the skin. This is the so-called dry bite. Feels like you just stung a bee. The result may be a sudden increase in temperature, muscle cramps, acute pain.
Large and small dangers for spider
No need to touch the science-poultry and for other reasons. Animal will experience strong stress and certainly bite you, defending. And itself will "worry": will lose appetite, it will become sluggish and inactive. Do you feel your spider-bird? Leave him alone.
Some species of these arthropods are equipped with extremely poisonous hairs on the torso and legs. As soon as anxiety was delivered to him, the nervous spider-bird begins to scrub his paws and comb into fragile hairs with them.
Getting to your palm, they will cause an unpleasant itching and burning. It costs at least a few hairs to get into your eyes, - you can lose vision for a long time. You need it?
How to behave with a spider poultry
Do you adore him so much that you take in your hands? Be sure to wash them after such "communication." Do not lean too low above the terrarium, because you can be suddenly attacked. Homemade spiders of this type of cunning and unpredictable.
When cleaning the habitat of spider, use gloves and tweezers. Preferably long. Not time to relax, removing in the terrarium, and leave it unattended. Spider-bird can take advantage of your abutation and break free. If there is a cat, a dog or a hamster in the house, such a walk will turn the sudden death of pets.
Talking Spider-birds are not amenable. They are ready to bite even attentive and loving owner, it is enough to imagine at least the shadow of danger. Even the most relaxed home spiders of this breed are unsafe.
Than and how to feed a spider poultry
The diet includes crickets, cockroaches, frogs. The poultry is not against gentle meat of newborns mice, reptiles. Chicken meat or beef is also perfect. Spider-bird loves and fish.
All that you include in the diet of the shaggyatogo pet, pre-grind to pieces. While the spider-bird is still small, feed it 1 time in 2-3 days so that the baby is put on. But adults do not have to overeat. Having treat them no more than once every 14 days to avoid oversaturation and deterioration of the health of the articraft.
Be sure to remove the residues of food from the spider territory. They can deteriorate and cause infections from your pet. Food digestion time for spider - Three days or more.
But even if you forgot to feed the spider-poultry, nothing terrible. In nature, he can stay without food for more than a year. The main thing is that the water is constantly. It should be clean, so change it as it is too stupid. Then home spiders will be satisfied and happy.

As mentioned earlier, spiders-birds are bonded predators and feed on an exceptionally animal food.
As you know, in nature, the birds eat only moving prey, in captivity, both young spiders are eaten and adult copies, immobilized feed objects, as well as their individual parts, pieces of meat and fish (individually).
The most important principle of feeding poultry worst is that food should be as diverse and not to represent dangers for the spiders themselves.
Feeding frequency and the value of food objects depend on the age of the spiders of the poultry. With intensive cultivation, the Method of continuous feeding is recommended, i.e. As one food facility is used, another is offered. With this technique used with simultaneous content at elevated temperatures, young spiders grow very quickly, significantly increasing in size with each molting, and in the first 2-3 ages, the gaps between the molts are less than a month. In any case, the feeding of young spiders is recommended at least twice every week. The magnitude of the feed object for young spiders should not exceed the size of their abdomen.
On the other hand, the intensive feeding of adult spiders speeds up their aging, so the optimal regime will be considered a food offer 2-3 times a month.
Basic feed At home are: various types of crickets (houses, banana, red-headed, bubban), cockroaches (marble, Madagascar, Colombian), flour worm, Zofobus (or giant flour worm), locust, frogs, small lizards, naked mice and Young mice.
Remember that the spider is able without harm to health, if there are unlimited access to water, do not food for weeks, and large instances of months. For example, a naturally such a giant, as, may refuse feed within 2-3 months before molting, as well as 1-2 months after it dissolves; And for natural copies Grammostola Rosea. Fasting to six months or more is a physiological feature.
Scientists conducted an experiment on the duration of fasting birds. Mounted maximum fasting time - two years nine months and nineteen days ( Baerg, V.J.
As a substitute for ordinary feed, it is also possible to feed the poultry pieces of beef, chicken meat and fish. But in this case, the eating them depends on the specific instance of the spider, since individual copies never take such food, others are eagerly eaten.
Do not try to feed the poultry, when it is in a condition in front of a molting, lines or immediately immediately after molting!
In this case, the active insect (for example, cricket) will not be eaten and, moreover, they can damage their jaws of the poultry packer, with the result that adverse effects of spider health are possible, up to his death.
Try to bother it as much as possible at this time and in no case take in hand.
To offer food to the fading poultry is only a few days later, after the spider polins and his exoskeleton finally hardens. In large copies, as already noted, this period can last up to a month or more.
The famous fact of long-term failure of feed is recorded for Chilean poultry Grammostola Rosea. living in places with a pronounced cold period. Obviously, such behavior is likely for other types of poultry spiders belonging to 2 group.
In any case, always remove the feed object if it is not eaten during the day. The next offer to its poultry is to produce only in a day.
It is also necessary to carefully monitor the hygienic cleanliness in the terrarium and remove organic residues left after eating a poultry, pieces of feed animals, excrement.
As already mentioned water spiders-poultry is vital. In the content of poultry poultry, it is desirable to install water with water in the terrarium. Large copies need to provide access to open water for drinking. At the same time, on average, water is required once a week, since many terrestrial species drop the fabricated remains of the feed animal and excrement directly into the drinking.
Infants and young spiders can do without a special container with water when sufficient for digging holes wet substrate layer.

Description
In many countries, the poultry spiders are gaining popularity every day. There are a number of reasons for this.
- All spiders of this species have a beautiful color.
- To contain a poultry spider at home is not too expensive and quite simple.
- Spider Poultry wagon looks very extravagant as a pet. And if traditional pets have become commonplace, the spider will certainly cause the interest of your guests.
Spider poultry is a predator, but the nature of these arthropods are not hunting for large prey. Basically, these spiders feed on small insects, smaller spiders, as well as small rodents, small birds, fish, as well as maidens. The difference between this type of animal from others is that the poultry spiders do not use cobweb traps for their prey, they will wait and attack their sacrifice from the ambush and at a short distance.
Li Poultryed poisonous
It is believed that the spider is dangerous for his owner and at home can cause harm to man. This is not quite so, of course, all spiders are poisonous, however, most of these individuals do not pose a danger to humans. Danger represent only a few species of these animals. There is an opinion that the most toxic poison of spiders who inhabit Eurasia and Africa, and those who live on other continents, the poison is less toxic, however, no research on this topic has been conducted.
It is worth noting that in the whole story, there was not a single death case from the bite of a poultry spider bite. Scientists have found that the venom of this animal is not allergenic, however, people who are allergic to bees and wasps, after being bitten by a reaction can begin. Wounds at the place of bite, often, will be large, since the helicers of this spider reach 2 centimeters in length. When bite, they leave a big mark. Very often there are cases when the animal, when bite, does not injected poison at all. Such a bite is called clean.
Protective reflexes
Spider poultry person defends himself in two ways.
1. Bite
It is necessary to understand that absolutely any spider can bite, even if it looks very calm. Spiders bite their enemy Helicers. Especially often bite spiders of narrow and wood species. They do not always introduce poison when bite, however, when handling these animals, you need to be as cautious as possible. Sometimes, spiders scare their enemy with a blow of front legs on the skin.
2. Hair
Spiders poultry poultry with rear legs make hair with a bouse. After entering the skin of the victim, the victim's light or mucous membrane feels the strongest burning, itching and tears. If such a situation happened to you, then it is necessary to wash the place of bite hot water immediately. In this case, the symptoms are most likely immediately, although, depending on the type of spider, the symptoms can be maintained for two to three days.
Poultry spider molting is the most difficult period in his life. Before replacing your old exosphelet, the spider almost does not move and does not eat. At this time, the animal is better not to touch and not subject to any external stimuli. A day in front of a spider melka passes almost without movement. Often, they change their cover, lying on the back. Young individuals change their cover regularly, adult spiders are less likely, and females change their exoskeleton over once a year. During the change of cover, the old exoskeleton is separated, and a new one begins to form. After resetting old clothes, the spider defenseless until the new cover hardens. Up to the same time, spiders will not eat food, mainly this process takes several days. Sometimes spiders are difficult to reset the old cover, it happens after damage or illness. If the animal does not drop the old cover, it can die.
The most optimal poultry spider content at home is a glass terrarium. The terrarium for a spider poultry may be square and no longer. In size, the terrarium should be only two times the length of the body of the spider itself. For example, if together with the legs, your pet will be 20 centimeters size, then you will fit the terrarium with dimensions 40x40x40.
Pet premises need to be purchased with the fact that the spider will grow and increase in size. With all this, the height should be reduced to a minimum. After all, it happens that after making food, the spider climbs on the walls of the terrarium and falls down, thereby damaging his abdomen. If you are going to feed your spider of living food, then the big terrariums do not need to use, as the prey will hide in long corners, and the spider will not be able to catch it, as you used to hunt for a short distance from the victim, attacking her from the ambush.
If you have a wood spider poultry as a pet, it is recommended to increase the height of the terrarium, while adding a large piece of tree or branches into it.
If you have a norny spider, then you should pour more soil to the bottom of the terrarium. The optimal depth of the soil ranges from 5 to 10 centimeters. As a soil, the coconut moistened with water is best. Vermiculitis or peat will also fit. Regardless of the type of spider, the animal will need water. For this, the saucer or so-called socket is perfect.
Food
The best food for spiders will be cockroaches, larvae and worms. Madagascar hissing cockroach, marble cockroaches, crickets, zofobas larvae and flour worm are suitable. Frozen meat and any other food usually do not give us, it can lead to a fatal scooter. It is very important that the spider's food is at least twice the poultry body. Also when feeding a spider, it is necessary to take into account the personal wishes of the artistic, as well as the use of feed, which can occur in its natural habitat. Otherwise, the poultry spider can refuse food. Wood-type spider, most likely refuses food, which the Norny Spiderman will prefer and vice versa. Feed the wood spider is recommended for crickets and flies, but it's not worth off the cockroaches in food.
Reproduction
In captivity, the reproduction of spiders takes place very difficult, so that the newcomer is better not to do this, only if you are not going to breed spiders for sale. Differences between males and females are obvious. The males color is much brighter than in females, males are much more moving and less in size, as well as the male has very long limbs. Sexual maturity in males comes much earlier than in females. The male becomes adults in 1-1.5 years, the female reaches puberty to 2-3 years. However, with bad conditions of detention, as well as the lack of feed, the growing time can take much longer.
Basically, mating takes place at night. The male ribbles a special bag from the web for carrying sperm. Before mating, the male will try to get out of the terrarium to find a female, will behave more aggressive. In nature, the male before mating can run to a few kilometers per night. At this moment, Pouchikha must already be equipped in a large terrarium with a large amount of soil and shelters.
This terrarium should be more than usual 2-3 times. The number of substrate at the bottom of such a terrarium should be much more common. Next, you need to put one animal to another and carefully to observe so that the fight does not start.
There is an opinion that it is better to plant the male to the female, but it is not always the case. When sitting down one animal to another, it is necessary to take into account the aggressiveness of the female, if she aggressively behaves, it is better to sue her to the male. If you do vice versa, then the male in an unusual setting can be confused, and the case will end the fight and the death of the male. You also need to carefully follow the animals, if they are not ready for mating, then one of them can attack another, and it can lead to injuries and death of one of the animals. You can understand the behavior that both animals are ready for the process. Spiders will kick their paws on the soil, if this does not happen, most likely you need to wait a little more. After mating, the male instinctively will try to quickly leave the terrarium females. Best of all as soon as possible to help him do it and detect dad in his habitat.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it can be said that the spiders of poultry worships are unusual creatures, they are highlighted in their sizes and color. They differ from other spiders to many. They catch their prey completely differently, rather than simple spiders. They are not too whimpically in care, and with proper snarling of pins for breeding at home, the main thing is to give them the right food, to equip a good home, and show a little careful about it.

Than feeding poultry spider:
Spiders of the poultry worships, contrary to its name birds, do not eat, but eat small (about the body of spider), insects, on which they hunt in the natural habitat. What to feed a poultry spider at home?
The answer to this question is very simple - feed insects. The most popular feed insects are marble , turkmen , madagascar , argentine and other cockroaches, as well as larvae zofobasa And a flour worm.
These are general rules, many of them are considered optional, and on the Internet, rollers often appear, in which spider feed mice, or insects with streets. To be honest, I also love a couple to feed my pets caught by singers.
Why not feed spider poultryed insects from the street:
Small vertebrates in the form of frogs, or newborn mice it is very heavy food for spider, he will have it for several days, and at that time it will begin to decompose and fill with pipe poisons. Also on the forums sometimes saw reports that after feeding the spiders for incomprehensible reasons, DS were ill. It is not known to be connected or not, but, in my opinion, it is better not to risk.
Again, if you still decided to feed the poultry spider with small spine, then make sure that the animal is great, and bought in a proven place. Pick the animals in size, you should not give large animal spider poultry, they can damage it.
Also, it is also possible to feed a poultry spider by other predatory insects, such as mantis, other spiders or scolenders. There have been cases when mining won in battle, and the poultry spider killed.
Summarize: feed poultry spider need feed insects Suitable size (approximately with a poultry spider body, excluding paws), purchased in a proven place, or from its own colonies.
How often feed Poultry spider:
After we have dealt with the fact that the poultry spider feed, let's find out how often it is worth doing.
Feed adult spider poultry man follows 1-2 times a week corresponding to size feed insects. When the spider poultry is sufficient, it will cease to pay attention to feed, but sometimes it is necessary to determine the spider, "enough", and stop feeding.
Usually a sign of the fact that the poultry spider was flooded, it is an increase in the abdomen in relation to pumped up 1.5-2 times. After it happens, feeding should be stopped, in order to avoid breaking the abdomen.
Feeding spiders of small ages of small ages is a bit specific, and I carried it into a separate article. which you can read by going to link .
- Do not feed a poultry spider after molting for a certain number of days, which can be calculated by the formula: the number of lines + 3-4 days. Otherwise, feed can damage the spider, or other, more specific problems may occur.
- If the spider does not eat a poultry person, you should not beat the alarm, and create a type of topic on themes: "Alba does not eat for 4th day, what to do?". Failure to eat is absolutely normal for poultry spiders, some of them can arrange a hunger strike for a period of 1-3 months, without harm to health. This is usually famous Grammostola. .
- If a spider poultry person does not eat insect at once, then you can press the head insect, and leave it for the night of a spider. If by morning, spider does not eat insect, then the corpse must be removed.
- Do not leave feed insects in a spider terrarium without supervision to avoid a number of problems that may arise. For example, with a molting of a hungry cockroach or a larva, Zofobas may damage the spider, the female of the cockroach can give birth to a spider tank, and the kids will scatter through ventilation, well, and the like.
That's it seems to be all that I wanted to tell, it may be not very ordered, but tips here there are many and some of them are even good. And so, with time and experience, you yourself will understand what and when you should feed your poultry. Thanks for attention.

Yes, yes, just my wavy parrot carried too many eggs, up to 12-14 pieces. And the chicks could not, so I had to do So barbaric way! |
Nature presents us a variety of riddles. We are accustomed that large types are usually standing above in the food chain than small. And it seems that bug bugs feed on the nectar or plant juice, birds feed on these spiders, birds eaten animals or stronger birds. And then, on you - Spiderman, how can the artician beat the bird!? We will try to figure it out.
Spiderman: Lifestyle, Nutrition, Breeding
As always, at the beginning of the article we will give a brief description of the type of an animal so that the reader immediately could imagine what the most spiderman is a poultry person. It turns out that there is a whole family of birds of various magnitude and coloring. These spiders are so interesting and diverse that at present some people are happy to dilute the birds.
Biology spiders
These spiders were obtained thanks to the Engravings of the German artist and the Entomologist Mary Sibile Merian. These engravings were depicted as huge spiders eaten hummingbirds. It happened at the end of the seventeenth century, when this outstanding woman traveled in South America, in particular on the territory of modern Suriname.
Description
Poultryists - huge spiders of the family of the same name, which includes many different species that have the following similar signs:
- Huge for the spine sizes of the animal, 20-30 centimeters in the sweeping of the legs.
- These spiders do not fly a patina, but are ambulatory predators.
- All these arthropods have an exotic coloring, which becomes more intense with each subsequent mol.
- Huge shaggy limbs.
- The body is covered with a dense exoskeleton of chitin.
Help from Wikipedia. Exoskeleton is an external type of skeleton in some invertebrate animals. It forms a protective armor like knightly armor and does not have a cellular structure. According to the relative strength of the exoskeleton - one of the best tissues in nature!
The structure of the body in poultry worships is similar to all representatives of the spider-shaped: headband, belly and eight limbs:
- four paws;
- two are helper to capture mining, digging holes and so on;
- two pedipalles that carry out the touch function.
By the way! The hairs on the pauses of spiders are the sense of smell and hearing!
Food
In fact, the poultry poultry rarely feed on meat, it is so difficult to arrange the system of their digestion, which it requires a more gentle and easily friendly (remember the miniature about rabbits?) Food. But the nutrition of these spiders is exclusively carnivorous, they are still referring to the so-called strict predators.
Our reference! Strict, or bond, predators - animals that eat exclusively by other animals without eating vegetable food.
In the diet of poultry spiders, such species as:
- birds;
- small rodents;
- insects;
- spider-shaped;
- amphibian;
- fish.
Lifestyle
Various birds live at different levels of the biosphere. There are spiders living in crowns of trees, there are individuals living in the grass. Third artiforms of this family prefer a normal lifestyle. Biologists share these spiders for three large categories:
- wood;
- ground;
- norny.
It is easy to guess about the lifestyle, which is individuals of each of the specified categories.
At the same time, in the usual life of spiders, the giants are very sediments. Even a hungry poultry person is able to wait its prey in the ambush for a long time, and there is nothing to talk about the fusion. Adult spider females are in one place, without leaving ambushes.
Reproduction and development
Before starting the marriage games, the body of the male poultry is a little modified. On its limbs - the pedipalpars are formed by the so-called cymbium - thigh containing seminal fluid. Mutations and chilicers are also subject to captures to hold females during mating, they are called tyibal hooks.
Before pairing the male sends a part of the seed fluid on a web, specially woven for a marriage game. In addition, a man performs a marriage dance showing that arthropod belongs to one appearance.
During the mating of the male, with the help of Tibal hooks, holds a partner, and the pedipalpace takes the seed into the body of the female. After that, the action of the male is sprinkled by flight, since often the extensive hungry female can easily have a snack with its sexual partner.
After a while, it can last up to several months, depending on the species, the female of the cobweets the nest in which she lays his eggs. Their number also has a species difference: from 50 pieces to two thousand. Then around the masonry mother-pachech form a cocoon in the shape of a ball and is located near it for guarding and incubation. Thoughtful female adjusts the temperature inside the cocoon, dragging it from place to place or turning it into different positions.
Poultry spider female with cocoon
After some, defined for each species, the time from the cocoon appears small spiders-nymphs. They are almost transparent and not feed from the external environment, using the reserve of nutrients for vital activity, which laid the nature in them in the egg.
Some time later, a couple of Linek, the nymphs turn into larvae, which are already similar to spiders, but however, no longer feed on, continuing to use the food reserve in their abdomen.
The larva lins and turns into Imago - adults.
Linka
Speaking about the development of spiders, it is impossible not to affect the topic of their molting. This is the most important process in their lives, during which animals occur qualitative changes. Young spiders linen every month, with age, the time of the line is lengthened to one year and more.
Linka is the process of replacing an exoskeleton from spiders. Shortly before the start of this process, animals stopped eat, so that it is easier to get rid of, which began to take their body, chitinic covers. The process of molting spiders in most cases spend, turning over to the back, so it is easier for them to throw off the shelter not in size.
Reference! Often, with a molting of spiders, Helizer or Pedipilp can be lost, which are usually restored by the next shell replacement.
After mongi, the spider increases in the amount of almost one and a half times, while its coloring becomes brighter, as if he bought a new shell in a trendy clothing store.
Age
Poultryists are record holders in life expectancy among spider-shaped. The females of some species live to thirty years old. By the way, the age of spiders is sometimes measured by the number of lines. The males live much less, depending on who as lucky during the pairing.
Protective mechanism
Spiders poultryed have three types of protective mechanisms from external enemies.
- Bitches.
- Burning hairs with an abdomen.
- Attack excrement.
Bites
Bite Spider Bowder Combines the painful sensations from punishing the skin with the action of poison, which spiders kill their victims and therefore need to be doubly careful.
Many people are interested in what will happen if the poultry spider bite? We answer that the reaction of each organism is individual: from light itching to headache, heat and strong inflammation. However, the deaths of spider bite was not observed.
But if the Spider is not dangerous for a person, it does not mean that it does not need to be feared at all. Cases are recorded after science bites.
Burning hairs
The hairs located on the poultry abdomen, when contacting the skin of a person or an animal, can cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, spiders protect them the most valuable - egg layout. Females woven burning hairs in a web and cocoon.
Excrement
Some types of spiders in defense are shot in the direction of enemy eyes with a stream of excrement, trying to blind enemy.
Breeding
Now let's talk about how to properly breed a poultry spider at home. In order to properly contain such an unusual animal from the point of view, you need to know several rules.
Terrarium
The terrarium for a poultry spider needs to be chosen and equip depending on its belonging to a category of one or another. For example, for wood representatives, the height of the walls of the structure should be no lower than 35-50 centimeters. It is not bad so that in such a dwelling was an interesting tree branch, in which your animal would be able to climb as in natural conditions.
Ground spiders acquire a terrarium elongated in length so that the pet can be, where to run and be frozen.
For the holes spiders, it is desirable to have an improvised mink, like in nature. These may be objects such as:
- coconut shell;
- sink from a large mollusk;
- cut bamboo trunk;
- clay cup with bathed side.
Regardless of the type of spider, the bottom of the terrarium should be covered with a loose substrate. Best for this is suitable coconut chips, although it is possible to use a clean dry ground.
Climatic conditions
For residents of warm countries, the temperature pool means a lot. When maintaining at home, it is necessary to maintain it at a level of 25 degrees Celsius. This can be achieved using special lamps for heating or heating litters to the bottom of the terrarium.
Humidity for the inhabitants of subtropics also plays a big role. It should be at a level of 80-90 percent. To do this, spray the substrate 2-3 times a day or put a bowl with water, which in evaporation moisturizes the air.
Attention! It is necessary to moisturize the substrate only in some one corner of the terrarium, the rest of the litter should be in a dry state.
Feeding
Domestic spiderman is unpretentious food, the main thing is that she is animal origin and exceeded your pet's calf size.
The choice of how fading a poultry spider at home, is diverse, it can be:
- locust and grasshoppers;
- large insects;
- mice;
- frog;
- worms;
- moth and maggots.
Attention! It is very important that the prey of your pet is alive. So spider and feeds and at the same time develops.

Many pauses seek to get it into their collection, but thanks to the prohibitions of the authorities of South American countries, where it is found, Goliath is still a rarity.
Chilean pink
Chilean pink poultry person, on the contrary, one of the most common inhabitants of home terrariums. It is very beautiful and little aggressive. In nature, it is distributed almost throughout the American continent: from the United States to Chile.
