Ooooohh, the babies are smokin'! Wouldn't it be cool if they STAYED that way?
Hmmm, I still have no idea what their head looks like, what a funny spider. Thanks so much Kyle for all the pics! Do you keep more than one species of Widow?

Said it before and I'll will say it again...Even the pictures make me shudder. Beautiful pics and it was nice to learn about the Black Widow...but from a distance is fine by me...

i am horrible at telling the species, i used to guess by colour but that isnt very acurate seen as many are found with NO red and major variations. RM probably knows the secrets....
I only keep hesperus and mactans, for now. I am very interested in getting the red&brown and almost any of the non-northamerican sp!

I found a spider in a cricket box that looks like a red widow,cept the pattern is white instead of red,right down to the 2 spots near the spinnerettes.Im trying to find out if it might be an immature widow,or a look-alike.Any sugestions?
Ive got 1 bad pic so far from the side : http://www.geocities.com/pirranha25/start.html

yes it is a western, how big is it now?
pirranha it may be that or a false widow "steatoda sp". I have some steatodas that looked VERY similar to that when younger and some still have white on them.

Isn't it also possible for Black Widows to have yellow hour glasses on the abdomen?
