Spider Fighting, was one of those enjoyable games we played during our childhood years. I remember after school before the darkness sets in, we look for this tiny arthropods. We know this is the time they're making their web houses, visible and easy to catch. But sometimes it’s best also to catch them after dawn when they are in the middle of their web waiting to catch something for supper. Usually their spinneret is full and best for fighting during the 9 o’clock brake in our school.

During Saturdays and Sundays when we have all the time to play, we look for them in nearby woods and farms surrounding our town. In old stock house, old house and places where there is no or minimal human activities. We put it in an empty matchbox, a coconut leaf divider is use to prevent them to have contact from other spider. We knew that spiders are loner and very territorial, that’s why they fight with each other till death just only to defend their space.

We use any kind of spiders, as long as they are on their own weight (as if we’re using a weighing scale) division. Like the true cockfighting, we use the ulutan system, set the price for the winner usually another fighting spider.

We know loser have no chance to live for another day, they will turn into lunch for the winner.

But in intense fight there is a big chance that the winner get wounded, the only medication we knew is just giving them a tiny bit of pieces of young guava leaf, and allow them to heal themselves inside their matchbox barracks .
