Female Latrodectus cf pallidus (White Widow) feeding on an adult male Buthus mariefranceae in Morocco.

 

[Widowman10]

Man, seems like these latros can catch and eat anything! Great shot. Love the pallidus too, especially their dome retreat.

Hey widowman10 I have a couple of egg sacks from my southern widow but they haven't been hatching at all. Could they be dead?

 

[Widowman10]

They could be, if it's been longer than 2 months. Have they turned dark at all?

 

[FatherOfWidows]

Yeah there were a light yellowish then turned brown. I dissected one and the eggs were dry and hard

 

[Widowman10]

ok, they will turn dark for 2 reasons- development or decay. i know SC is usually pretty humid, but is the place you kept them really dry or hot?

it's fairly rare that mactans will drop dud sacs.

 

[FatherOfWidows]

Was humid but I tried to keep them 75-80
