They arent True Spiders.Mygalomorphs such as Trap Door Spiders, Funnel Webs, etc.
In human years thats like Moses. Have you had some go that long? ...which species? That would be the kind of goo I'd want to add to my gene pool. ... seriouslyWidow spiders (Latrodectus spp.) live 3 to 4 years.
I have had a w/c hesperus go 5 years. Should have had her stuffed and mounted.I have never had any Latrodectus sp go longer than 2 yrs myself
