Characteristics of the red rose spider

The adult red rose spider has a total length of about 7-8cm and a total length of about 10-15cm. In terms of color, except for a few species, hairy spiders are of the same color as males and females. In terms of body size, female spiders are slightly larger than male spiders, but some species are quite different. To distinguish male and female spiders, you must wait until Spiders are easier to distinguish when they grow into adults or semi-adults. There are two pairs of book lungs in the abdomen of spiders. There is a slightly sunken horizontal stripe in the middle of the front pair of book lungs, called the extragastric groove. In front of the extragastric groove is the opening of the genitals. The structure of the genital mouth of male spiders and immature female spiders is not obvious, while the genital mouth of mature female spiders is specialized into a harder structure called ectoestrogen. The difference can be clearly seen on the shell. The most accurate judgment is that when the male spider matures, there will be a sperm plug at the end of the tentacle next to its fangs, and there will be a small pin on the tibia of the first pair of feet. Bulge, female spiders do not have these two structures. The red rose spider is not a fire rose spider. The fire rose spider is a subspecies of the red rose spider. There are very obvious differences between the two.

Red rose spider feeding knowledge

The red rose spider should be one of the easiest spiders to keep. Of course, careful care is indispensable. Relatively mild, they will not attack people for no reason, they do not have excessive requirements on diet and have a strong lifespan. The ability to adapt is also extraordinary.

The red rose spider has low toxicity. Although it is said to be very low in toxicity, don't take it lightly. Don't play with spiders casually. It is an arthropod. It is still possible to bite people in a hurry. Otherwise, the venom is not harmful to humans.

It should be reminded that raising red rose spiders needs to prepare a pair of long tweezers and a water bottle for replenishing or watering, which is used for feeding food, cleaning up debris and excrement, cleaning up internal hygiene, etc. . The second is that the environment of the red rose spider needs water, so it is necessary to place a water basin in its breeding box, and at the same time spray water inside to ensure humidity. Most hairy spiders don't like moist air like chameleons, so we don't recommend using a sprayer, but a watering can with a large hole. If you can't find a watering can, you can use a plastic mineral water bottle with small holes in it instead.
