Just got this beautiful girl from my bud

Latrodectus mactans (Black Widow)

She's missing a leg but still very beautiful

They are simply awesome. Feed it and try to keep your mouth closed about the size of prey these guys can handle..

going by how my false widow take crickets double its size... i assume true black widow spiders take on bigger things?
*FEEDDING VIDEO*

Nice spider. The most stunning of all true spiders.

Spiders will grow legs back with molts. But that looks like it's done molting. Or is it?

I have seen black widows, where their abdomens were as big around as a quarter. Now I can handle T's, but not these things. They are beautiful, just not for me.

Sorry, I forget that this is an international site, lmfao. Quarter = about an inch.

Wow that's beautiful I want one

I'd handle a widow. I wouldnt make a habit of it but it shouldn't bite unless you mess with it's web or squash it a little bit or something like that. Baboons and earth tigers are far more likely to Bite. I wouldn't handle a H Mac or H Minax or similar T's. Although I'd be tempted. They're just too unpredictable.

beutiful spider

Widows generally dont bite, ever.. unless you pinch them or push your skin against it.

Cyanide I'm not really sure about it molting again but she had no prob spinning up 2 large crickets without that leg so she might have been without it for a while. Kinda makes me think she might not molt again but I've been surprised before. Either way she's still a sexy bitch.

Pluto these things are beasts when it comes time for feeding, the crickets she took down today were huge.

I know, you can drop in a full grown locust no problem if you take off one leg. They have the strongest web out of all spiders (except maybe Nephila) and they go mongol on their prey...
