Southern Black Widow variations

[DavidD]

I have two Black Widows and the red pattern on one is like a motley corn pattern while one has the classic hourglass such cool animals.

I recomend them for people with some experience with spiders

Here they are everywhere..........when I was a kid.......I use to catch them and keep them........they are really neat.
The funnest thing was to get an egg sack and keep it in a Mayo jar and let them all hatch out.

I think the ones in my yard were killed when they sprayed the front of the house with bug killer.
I don't keep any as pets anymore........I do however.........keep a cool T.

I played with spiders and constantly got bit when I was a kid, so it's a good thing there weren't any of those where I grew up.

Something venomous nailed me once though, I ended up having to get a series of shots for it. I don't know what it was though.

No widows up here that I know of, but we have a truck load of brown recluses -.-
Found a dozen or so stacking wood the other day. It had been piled there for several months, so ya... infestation.

[DavidD]

recluses dont live that far up

[rocketcrotch]

If they are there, they are there.

Black widow bit me on the hand last week, squished her #$!#$!#$! !!!

After seeing what can happen after a spider bite from something like a Widow or recluse... I think I'll never go near one.

I'll maybe own a Chilean Rose hair... But that's it. Nothankspackinggauzeintopainfulbites.
