Black Widow

[CRBP742]

Today while i was sitting around I began to ponder what the value of a black widow would be. Any suggestions?

I have seen them sold for 5.00 to 10.00 apiece, if you are looking to sell them in 50-100 lots about 1.75 each.

I got one for free from the great outdoors.:wink:

I bought one for 10 and found one at my cousins. The one I bought also came with cork bark and an enclosure.

I wouldn't pay more than 10 for a North American species other than the red. I've only seen them go for 20.

when i sold mine i sold them for 4$ each or big lots of them for 1.50$ each. alot of people like them, you just have to find the right people. thats the hard part.

if you want to make money off of latrodectus species, import and breed some exotics, or just harvest the venom and sell it. worth many times more than gold!

Oh man, ever since I was little I dreamt of keeping spiders for venom collection. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment right now, and while the management may tolerate millipedes, they would probably take issue with widows.

Any rough ideas how much money the exotic species tend to run?
