Dr Acula, what was her home in the Everglades? A hole in a tree, etc...? These are awesome spiders, and live a very long time. I have one that is 13 years old, and I think pitbulllady has a 17-yrar-old. (<-- pretty sure she posted this somewhere here)

You found a beautiful girl! :happy:

Thank you! She had an eggsac with her as well and the slings just emerged last night, same night I discovered my first T sac :D
She was part of a colony I found on a metal door of an old warehouse. The door was about 7'x5' (give or take) and had webs EVERYWHERE. I had no clue what made them and when I saw the huge molts in the web, I almost expected tarantulas {D the female I found was a few feet away from the colony, inside of one of those brackets that helps hold pipes against a wall. I talked to pitbulllady on another thread about them and making a communal, she was very helpful :)

The communals are awesome. I have a small communal on the back side on my house, plus I keep a few inside as pets. There's also 2 that are "free-range" in the house. I leave these be, as they seem to catch a decent amount of prey. (pesticide-free house)

Dr Acula, thank you, and good luck with your communal! And pitbulllady knows the K. hibernalis well. I only know 3 people that keep/observe these great spiders, and she is one of them. :happy:

That's what I'll be trying to recreate, I want the enclosure to be covered in webbing. I'll be releasing the majority of the slings around my yard since there are none of these around me.

Thank you! &Now you know a 4th :D
