Description
This impressively powerful spider is found around water bodies in the Barossa Valley of SA. They can be found in lakes, dams, streams and even pools where they feed on fish, frogs, tadpoles, aquatic insects and other insects.
In captivity they do very well in an enclosure with fairly moist coco peat and a fake plant for climbing on and will absolutely obliterate crickets.
They grow to a body length of 13-17mm
Sold as captive bred juvies eating x-small crickets.

I received a juvenile male that shortly after moulted into an adult. He’s very a very chill but fast spider! Has the best feeding response out of all my collection
