Latrodectus bishopi

Check out this beaut I got from tfleming!

I'd like to say that I don't condone the handling of dangerous animals.

I got another one who I thin may be an adult or very close to it. She's a bit more active. this young gal molted within the first week but really hasn't webbed much or eaten much. She fed on that worm for a bit but didn't dry it out like other widows do IME. We will see I guess!

Glad to see they're doing so well.

Thanks! One lost a leg  but other than that they're doing good!

i got Lactrodectus geometricus before., pop out hundreds of babies before they died eating each other..

That is so fricking cool!  Although I would not be handling that little bugger if I were you.

I hear the widows only last about 6 months?  How long have you had yours?

These were born a year ago this past June. My last girl passed away about 3 weeks ago. Nearly a year and a half. I have Latrodectus Mactans that are over 2 years old.

That is encouraging.  Hoping to get started on my widows this Spring.  Only a few weeks away!  Thanks.
