After searching many times, i have found no caresheets for the Brown Widow. Any tips and pointers? I found a live female today, and due to a recent die off of widows in my area, i captured her posthaste, since she is the only one ive seen in a year. I have her in a tall jar with packed moss substratum and a few sticks to act as support strts. what should her water source be? thanks for all info.
