Some basic info:

13/7/10 – Mature male and subadult female S. capensis were collected, both kept in the same enclosure.

17/7/10 – female completed her final moult

30/8/10 – Female made eggsack then ate daddy.

17/10/10 – Eggsack hatched.

My Steatoda sp. are kept in dry set ups, with sand as a substrate and some twigs for web construction. I spray the webs lightly with water once per week and feed approximately once a fortnight.
