      I don't think you're really supposed to see the spider very often unless you're feeding it? So I assume that this species hides under the sand all the time until it senses vibration, it's not just going to wander around the enclosure like other species and find a water bottle cap.

  • @toddlytodd
    @toddlytodd 11 місяців тому +43

    I remember reading that those two bite cases are dubious, and all we really know about them is venom study on mice, where we found their bite is 15 times more necrotic than brown recluses. From what I've seen from other care videos is getting these guys to bite is nearly impossible. They're just not panicky. The explanation I remember reading is that they don't really have a lot of predators to worry about.

    • @JungleLibrary

The prohibition list includes "all venomous animals" but things like tarantulas are still allowed so it's quite confusing.

    When i was getting into inverts my local reptile shop offered to sell me one and didn't even say it was in any way dangerous, just kind of cool. But i bought a couple tarantulas and jumping spiders instead and honestly that was probably a very good decision lol. My adult male A. chalcodes, Brian, was an excellent starter and still excellent to interact with with no risk of losing my arm (or worse).

    Do these spiders lack any body scent? It seemed like all of the scorpions & other spider prey dropped inside of their enclosure could not "taste" the 6 eyed spider their sensory hairs or feet are touching. The wolf spider can react to the moving 6 eyed, but any animal with bad eyesight doesn't even react to the stalking 6 eyed until they're bitten.

    My understanding of the black widow (and variants) venom, is that it basically kills you by overwhelming you with false pain. It short-circuits your nervous system into thinking it's being attacked, and things will either shut down, or your lungs will basically lock up because everything is seizing or spasming.

    these fellows are incredibly manageable as pets so long as your enclosure is properly affixed in place.
    they are all but pet rocks, and while their bite seems real nasty, actually earning one is quite challenging (still I'd recommend against tempting fate on that one)

  • @zacharymoran7596
    @zacharymoran7596 11 місяців тому +1

    This is fascinating to me. My general impression is that spiders by and large were generally harmless. In the US for example, I’d be willing to bet that the VAST majority of “brown recluse bites” and yellow sac spider bites are MRSA or basic staph infections that are misdiagnosed. Actually I want to see research on this, but I’ve had a theory that the proliferation of brown recluse bites across the country several decades ago WAS the start of MRSA outbreak outside of hospitals. And as you mention most widow bites (all American species) are generally just…. Unpleasant emergencies but not necessarily fatal. Hobo spiders round out the list, but shotty research and scientific reporting seems to have given them a reputation when they’re basically harmless.
    So I was under the assumption that it was basically just Brazilian Wandering Spiders and Sydney Funnel Webs being potentially life threatening. It is fantastic to know that the list is a little bigger than I thought!

    • @KanyeTheGayFish69
      @KanyeTheGayFish69 11 місяців тому +1

      Recluse spiders are more dangerous than you give them credit. Definitely a bigger chance of serious complications than any widow bites, not to mention no antivenin or specific treatments. Six eyed sand spider is basically just a giant recluse with similar venom to the Chilean recluse. Very dangerous even compared to funnel webs and wandering spiders which have faster acting, albeit easier to treat venoms.

    I’ve gotten over my mild arachnophobia in recent years thanks in no small part to the various spider videos on this channel and of course the plethora of adorable jumping spider content available on TikTok but I can safely say that as awesome as they are the six eyed sand spider is definitely not a species I’d ever consider keeping.

    • @stefanostokatlidis4861
      @stefanostokatlidis4861 11 місяців тому

      It is really easy to keep and contain and also their venom is overestimated, at least for the most common South American ones. I would trust them more than an Old World tarantula.
