The Trinidad Olive Golden Spider (scientific name: Holotheleincei), also known as the Trinidad Olive Green Spider, has an adult body length of 9-10 centimeters when spread out. They produce relatively large but few offspring, with only about 30-40 juveniles measuring about 1.5 centimeters each. The juveniles have rich colors, with a dark green thorax and abdomen, and pink legs, making them easily frightened and prone to running around. This terrestrial species originating from tropical rainforest areas is skilled in digging burrows and will create a small "spider den" with numerous silk threads.

Spider enthusiasts recommend keeping the Trinidad Olive Golden Spider (scientific name: Holotheleincei), also known as the Trinidad Olive Green Spider. However, it is not recommended to handle the spider without a purpose, regardless of whether it is aggressive or docile. The purpose of keeping the spider is not for handling. If the focus is on observing its color, it doesn't matter whether the spider is aggressive or not.
1. Emaciation
When you find that the spider's body becomes dull and the exoskeleton starts to become dry and yellow, it is likely that emaciation has occurred. This condition is generally caused by poor feeding, resulting in long-term malnutrition.
2. Enteritis
On the contrary, this condition is caused by overeating. If the owner keeps feeding the spider or feeds it with food at a low temperature, it can cause bloating and abdominal pain, eventually leading to enteritis.
3. Hemiplegia
The spider does not have high requirements for the environment, but when the temperature is too high, especially in summer when it is hot and humid, if the spider's cage is far from the air vent, the spider may suffer from heat stroke, causing paralysis in its legs and making it unable to move one side of its body.
4. Constipation
The most common cause of constipation is lack of water. In addition to eating, spiders also need to drink water. If the owner only feeds the spider but does not provide water, the moisture in the food cannot supply the spider's body with the necessary water.
5. Black Rot Disease
If the spider does not eat or move, its mental state declines, and black, ulcerative lesions appear on its abdomen, indicating black rot disease. The cause of this condition is that the water and food are not fresh. If the spider eats food contaminated with bacteria, it can contract black rot disease which can lead to death.
6. Mold Spot Disease
Especially in the southern regions, the hot and humid weather in summer makes the spider's body susceptible to bacterial invasion. The spider's joints become stiffer and its body becomes damp, providing an ideal environment for bacteria to survive and reproduce, resulting in mold spot disease.
7. Parasites
Parasites are perhaps the most disgusting disease for spiders. If the parasites are small bugs, it's not too bad, but when aggressive parasites crawl on the spider's body, it looks extremely nauseating. Besides affecting the spider's rest, these parasites may also carry other viruses, causing multiple infections and posing a threat to the spider's life.
If you keep spiders at home, you can catch one spider for breeding. Generally, it is unlikely to catch poisonous spiders at home, so you can rest assured to keep them. Of course, there are many venomous spiders available for purchase on the market. Spider's diet is quite varied. There are many things they like to eat, such as various small insects. How often should spiders be fed? Spiders have a strong ability to withstand hunger and can survive for a month without eating anything. The frequency of feeding spiders is related to their size. The larger the spider, the less frequently it needs to be fed. The size of the insect fed should be about one-third of the spider's body length. If it is too big, the spider is prone to overeating. The space for breeding does not need to be too large because spiders themselves are not very big. Spiders do not like bright places, so it is best to choose a dark place for breeding spiders.
