@PacktPull Thanks for the reply to such an old vid aha. I'm looking to buy one, unfortunately I'm in the UK plus my mum's an arachnophobe so I won't be able to let her loose. Can't seem to find any good advice on how to house them anywhere! :/ I'd be getting either a pilipes or edulis. Do you know of any good sites/forums that would help me or have any advice yourself? Thanks a lot :)
@1HAHAHayley3 There are several threads on arachnoboards about housing orb weavers. I don't think there's any magic to it, just the hassle of making a huge screen enclosure for it to web in. (Of course you should do a search to find out more.)
just wondering, what's she eating? :) and do you just let her web where she wants in your home? Alsoo when they're finished their web do they constantly move and re-do it like smaller garden orb webs or just stay in that one place?
@1HAHAHayley3 She was eating a cricket. I don't remember whether I tried to get her to web there specifically, you just have to put them somewhere convenient and hope for the best. Nephila don't rebuild their webs as regularly as some other orb weavers, but they certainly do it at times.
