HELP, what did I agree to????

[mo_2]

a good friend of mine has what he calls a "red widow" spider, that layed an egg sack which he destroyed. Well I was a little drunk when he told me this and so having presence of mind to know that there would be more on the way I said give me the eggsacks I will raise them. well a week after this conversation he calls me to say that there is anouther egg sack. I have no clue how to hatch widows, how long do I incubate them, HOW do I incubate them, what do I feed s'lings. I am getting the eggsack on sunday so any help before then would be greatly appreciated. If I don't take this eggsack it will be destroyed too.

Do a search on widow spiders or egg sacs ...I know there are several threads dealing ith just this subject.

sorry

I was so excited that I diden't even think to do a search. :8o I promise before I get any more threads about not searching that I will not make that mistake again. but I am very excited about FINALLY getting a widow.

the species has been confirmed as latrodectus bishopi. now I want to know what the babies will be worth?

Well babies of just about any spider will not be worth very much. Even the adults don't cost that much for most species of widow spider. With babies you would have a significant number of die-offs...which is why they wouldn't go for much.
