Funnel Web Spider Season IS HERE | Australian Reptile Park Australian Reptile Park 2024-10-17 | Following recent rainy weather and rising temperatures, the combination of moisture and heat provides ideal conditions for these venomous spiders to thrive as they head into their breeding season.With male Funnel-web spiders leaving their burrows in search of mates, the likelihood of them turning up in homes or gardens across the Greater Sydney region increases. Popular hiding places for funnel web spiders in houses include shoes left outside, piles of laundry, pools and in debris in gardens. The Australian Reptile Park, the sole supplier of Funnel-web venom to produce lifesaving antivenom, is calling on the public to assist in safely capturing these spiders and delivering them to the Park or designated spider drop-off locations.
