I caught a dime sized selenopid spider a few weeks ago and all was well until it stopped eating for nearly a week. It molted and then refused food for a couple more days. I can't seem to find any information on how to care for such a spider. I am now keeping it in a 32oz container and treating it the same as a mantis, but with a piece of bark so it can feel secure and hide. I feel good about the successful molt, but I am worried that I might not be caring for the spider properly. After the molt, the spider didn't get much bigger than it was before. If anyone can give me some advice or a website address that I could go to for information, I would feel alot better about keeping this beautiful spider. I hope it gets as big as some of the flatties that have frightened me before, (saucer size!). It is a challenge to clean out the container because the spider is lightning fast and I get startled when it moves in that way. :lol: Edit: I didn't mention I have been feeding the spider flies and moths. It is back to eating now, but I was surprised at how long it fasted for. I can hardly see it catch its prey, it is so fast!
