Dont you just love the way they catch their prey?
If you ever got a sack of those, you can always send one to me. I'll pay

Are kidding me, I wouldn't charge you for something I find under the nearest rock. LOL! I can send you one now, but I'm afraid of the weather conditions. I've got a juvenile that I can send you.

I wish I had a male to breed them to and then send them.

Well Mr T, sending them isnt free, not even for you.. so that is something that I should pay DEFINATELy. And a finders fee as well as some of your time isnt free either. So its a gesture, I dont really care about the money.

The slings I sent you were not free either and I didnt exactly nurture them myself

So its ok.

You dont have to send me a spider. Try to separate all little spiders when the sack hatches. There will be males in there, just not many. On top of that, they will be even tinier than the female slings. So they get eaten from the first week. Its important to separate them straight away and feed them fruitflies. This way you'll get males and will get to breed your widows. When you ever get a gravid female you can send me that and we'll get around the sending costs etc

That is, if you got time for that

*shiver*

But congratulations LOL

Hey thanks Anna. Do you ever see any of these in your neck of the woods?

I do indeed. Not as many as I used to see when we lived in an infested townhome lol.............but I come across one once in a while.

I'm not kidding, it literally took us 6 months to rid our backyard & laundry room of these things by the the hundreds.............that's why I shiver at them hahahaha.

You do know they cost an arm and a leg around here? :-)
