Funnel Web Spider
Funnel Web Spider for Sale
Looking for a fascinating Australian spider? Our Funnel Web Spiders are healthy, well-established specimens suitable for experienced invertebrate keepers, educational displays and enthusiasts interested in Australia's unique wildlife.
Funnel Web Spiders are renowned for their impressive burrow-building behaviour and powerful appearance. They spend much of their time inside silk-lined burrows, emerging to hunt passing insects. Their behaviour makes them one of Australia's most iconic arachnids and an incredible species to observe.
These spiders should only be kept by experienced keepers who understand the husbandry and safety requirements associated with this species.

Diet
Funnel Web Spiders feed on appropriately sized live insects including crickets, wood roaches and other suitable feeder insects. Juveniles should receive smaller prey items, while adults can be offered larger insects once or twice each week.
Temperament
Funnel Web Spiders are defensive rather than aggressive but should never be handled. They are best appreciated as display animals where their natural behaviours, including web construction and burrow maintenance, can be safely observed.
Housing
A secure enclosure with adequate ventilation and a deep substrate is essential. Providing cork bark, leaf litter and natural décor encourages normal behaviours while allowing the spider to establish a permanent burrow.
