Black Widow Baby

a reply to: annoyedpharmacist

I understand that is a creepy thought . I just have a soft spot for beauty and dangerous things lol

a reply to: Naturallywired

Oh golly

That shouldn't even be an issue.....I think I'd notice an egg sac and remove it before I'd end up with 900 baby spiders running around. Lololol

You better hope she hasn't mated for the season and starts laying eggs. Each eggsack can muster up to 900 spiderlings. Don't worry most will canabalize each other, but the others being very tiny can escape through tiny crevises, cracks or screens.

The female creates papery egg sacs that contain between 200 and 900 eggs each, according to NCSU. The eggs hatch after about 30 days.

Hey, even if they did hatch before we somehow noticed, they'd be just as trapped as she is. They'd all just die before I ever opened the lid again.

You could call her 'Slingshot', after the world famous catapults.

a reply to: Night Star

Well, if you think about it, it's not that bad.

No need to visit the vet or walk for a pee.

Don't forget there are air holes lol and baby widows are very small. You can put butter on the lid so they can't climb on it though

Nope, just Judy. It just felt right.

Think they'd be smaller than the holes!? Ok the more I think about it the more I regret this decision....

For you night star

Yes they are very small . No worries though

a reply to: Another_Nut

Aye aye aye. No bueno, señor. No me gusta.

The egg sack is very small, so imagine how small the spiderlings are. Just something to sleep on.

A centimeter? Maybe half that. And She will not attach it to something out in the open either, most likely it will be out of site under some structure in her surroundings.

Name her. . . .

Fluffy.

But.... That one's just TOO innocent for me lol

Idk why but Fluffy makes me angry on the inside because she's just so not fluffy

Espidrella sounds sort of Gothic and creepy but tasteful. And spidery

I had a spider leave masses of eggs on my kitchen ceiling once. They started off as small black dots and then... grew up.
