Hello!
I am a total noob with arachnids and currently have a brown widow in a (excuse layman terminology) ‘good-sized plastic terrarium’. She seems very happy in there, we have had her for a few months now. I just cannot find much information out there about keeping them as pets, it’s all been quite trial and error. She has just laid a second egg sac in the tank, yet hasn’t been exposed to another male brown widow while we have had her. Would there be babies in there? Or is it hollow? I had introduced another spider (false wolf) to the environment (now realizing my mistake!) and she immediately went after it and killed it. I know I must sound like a total moron but, it’s not possible she mated with that spider is it? Interbreeding?!
Excuse the waffling information, literally ANY and ALL information anyone has on these amazing spiders would be hugely appreciated.
Many many thanks if u made it this far!
