  • help to identify and need information on selenocosmia spiders and spiders egg.

    I'm sorry for bad English, I'm not an English native...

    I'm acquiring new pet and wild caught one above all...

    I got them in one of the shops that sell hair grower oil, and yeah they will turn into one. So I buy them.
    I got 2 egg sacs, but I dunno if the eggs are fertile or not.I dunno when the eggs are laid too.
    can someone tell me what's the differences between fertile and not fertile? here is the pic of the eggs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41619322@N08/tags/egg/ (for the link: you can click in the picture and click "all size" so the pic will be bigger; also I'm using flash and you can see the flash reflected in the eggs. and the eggs have a whitish color in the middle, what's that?)

    I have already opened the egg sacs and incubator them in urgency.

    so, what confused me is what is the species of this spiders I get?

    here is the picture:


    lighting: nature light in sunny day.
    known for the species:
    name of the species: unknown

    female color: black
    male color: unknown
    spider size: reach up to 9 cm.

    eggsac size: 3-4 cm

    This is suspected to be selenocosmia javanensis, but I'm not sure. if anybody has an idea of what species is this or have more description about selenocosmia spiders, please tell me.

    Well, even if it's right for selenocosmia javanensis, there are many other like selenocosmia javanensis fulva, or Selenocosmia javanensis brachyplectra etc... and I'm not sure which it belongs to. Or is it just selenocosmia javanensis?

    thank you very much, your help is so much appreciated. and sorry if it's so long and confusing lol

    bumping this so hopefully someone with some knowledge will reply! sorry i can't be of help, can just say it's a beautiful spider.
    hopefully the sacs are fertile. i guess you'll find out eventually though!
    good luck!

        I'm about 90% sure that it is Javanensis like u said, the only other that it could be is Selenocosmia sp Ebony but i think they are a bit more "fluffy" then the one pictured.
