As I know Nephila's webs are just huge, so how do you suppose to keep it in captivity?
I mean the terrarium. Should it be a kind of a plasma tv or smth?

Hi.
It does not need very large enclosures really as you may suppose.
I just can advice you to go to Moscow Zoo to find how do they keep them. To say the least a phasmid Heteropteryx dilatata requers much more biger enclosure than most of the Nephila species.

Thaks for the advice. Really I didn't know Moscow Zoo even have them. That's probably because I was there last time as an elementary school visitor.Since now that's on my list again.Incidentally, is there any opportunity to purchase them anywhere in Russia?
