About this book

Language: German

In this new tarantula book the three French authors summarize their travelling experience (journeys to Africa, South America and Asia) where they have carefully observed tarantulas in their natural habitats. The knowledge gained from these explorations is implemented in their keeping and breeding concept by considering habitat structure and climate variation. Cléton et al. clearly recommend captive-bred spiders for would-be keepers and point out the risks for wild populations. A tarantula bite accident is included as a case report. This book not only provides information on how to set up a terrarium for ground-dwellling or aboreal species, problems with parasites and possible treatment are also discussed. The species accounts include some undescribed forms of tarantulas which have been bred over the past few years and are available for the hobbyists.

Summary in German:
Das Konzept der drei französischen Autoren kombiniert die Eindrücke und Ergebnisse vieler Reisen nach Afrika, Südamerika und Asien, wo Vogelspinnen im Habitat studiert wurden mit langjährigen Haltungserfahrungen. Auch zum Thema „Wildfänge vs. Nachzuchten“ beziehen die Autoren klar Stellung. Anhand eines Fallsbeispiels werden die Symptome eines Bissunfalls dokumentiert. Neben den elementaren Voraussetzungen zur Haltung von Vogelspinnen bietet das Buch auch einige Tipps im Umgang mit Parasiten im Terrarium. Die Auswahl der Arten, die abgebildet und für die Haltungsparameter zusammengestellt wurden, weicht von vielen bekannten Publikationen ab und schließt auch etliche Spinnen ein, die in der Terraristik bekannt sind, deren wissenschaftliche Beschreibung jedoch bislang nicht erfolgt ist.
