So, I was cleaning in our garage yesterday, and long story short, I now have a pet black widow spider. She's beautiful, and we named her Bellatrix. Can anyone give me a few tips on how to take care of her? Thanks in advance!
Lol, I kept a black widow for a little while when I was younger... Until an eggsack appeared in there. That was the end of that little endeavor. I just dropped an appropriately sized cricket into her web every now and then. Kept her in one of the little "critter keepers" with a toilet paper roll standing vertically inside. She made her web in there, made feeding her super easy.
Until someone unsuspecting knocks it over and all hell breaks loose.
Best way to care for a true spider is to not keep it. Seriously.. captive true spiders are extremely difficult to care for.
That's actually true though apparently they arent very happy in captivity.Originally Posted by mass

I would plant some CPs around its enclosure just in case.
Just out of curiosity, what makes them so difficult? And what distinguishes a true spider from a "fake" one?
Silly questions, perhaps, but I'm just starting to sort of take an interest in arachnids.
i think tarantulas aren't real spiders
...They are, indeed, true spiders..
