Tell him next time he should bring some to You :) Nephilas bred well in captivity. As well as Damon spp. too. 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?
Mikhail F. Bagaturov Posted March 5, 2009 at 07:56 AM Report Posted March 5, 2009 at 07:56 AM 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.
Arthur Posted March 8, 2009 at 04:16 PM Report Posted March 8, 2009 at 04:16 PM 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?
