 The Australian Reptile Park encourages the public to catch funnel-web spiders in their homes and backyards, if it is safe to do so, and bring the spiders to various drop-off locations in around the Central Coast, Sydney and Newcastle.These spiders will become part of the Park's funnel-web spider breeding and venom-milking programs.Spider keepers at the Australian Reptile Park must use steady hands and extreme focus to milk funnel-web spiders.
