A new species that just dropped. Anyone got experience on how caring for this species is like? I really want to buy some but there is no information about this species.

Scytodes sp. Orange (Giant Orange Spitting Spider) — Arachnid Rarities

A beautiful spitting spider species from Italy that gets big and is a nice orange color.

Easy. Scytodes can also sometimes be communal like thoracica. Pretty cool and underrated imo.

Theyre actually mostly spider-hunters but their venomous silk can immobilze much larger prey. small crickets and roaches should work just fine. Italy is a mediterranean climate so i'd imagine that's probably an oak woodland species.

Ive noted the xeric-loving scytodes tend to have much shorter legs.
