New Spider, Argiope aemula.

[Ganoderma]

Hoping this girl is prego

Currently she is in a cleaned out 5 gallon paint bucket with mesh top and dirt/sticks etc. hoping she can manage to make a web. is there anything other than space that will help orb weavers form a proper web?

peace

the argiope I work with are all kept in wooden containers with glass on either side held together by latches.......picture a short (lets say 3-5" wide) wooden box that is about a foot x foot in length...add plexiglass, with latch, on both sides.....the spider should attach its web to the wooden supports and then you will have an awesome display cage....
