[QUOTE="MalePinkToe, post: 165537, member: 31766"] Two points. First, the remaining 1% of all living creatures managed to NOT BECOME EXTINCT. If you are still here you adapted! Given the four necessary components (Food Water Cover and in the Proper Arrangement), things live. Captive creatures (especially spiders) can perish from out-of-normal (for them) temperature and humidity. If it is alive and reproducing, it adapted. Second, Before we started putting them in jars and marveling at their uniqueness the local people killed them on sight, usually after they just cut down their habitat and more likely burned the area for a crop of some kind. A reference of WILD Poecilotheria as of now would be a study of a destroyed Cover and Proper Arrangement and the adaptation (or failure to adapt) of the scattered stressed remaining spiders. Human structures in that part of the world tend to be single story sheds (hardly a colony supporting tree stand or forest). I would mention there are reports of few remaining tree dwellers living in slash piles and out buildings...that as before, are killed on sight. A current study of CAPTIVE only spiders is likely to be missing the historical data. Very sad. Solutions are the major cause of Problems. [/QUOTE]
