Can you keep a gasteracantha cancriformis spider as a pet?
Well...I didn't want to say this but... Ken the Bug Guy has some for sale at his website www.ken the bug guy.com. He has no pic of it though, but they are a very exotic looking spider that would be great for any collection of spider keepers. Although I have no real info on how to keep one, their must be SOME way to care for them; mustn't be hard, probably need to keep them warm and have plenty of space to make a cozy web and lightly mist their enclosure every now and again. Hope this helps.
