Blackwidow...

[Blackwidow69]

Well the first blackwidow of the season, was sweeping the kitchen floor and sure enough there she was.. Well now she has a sweet little home in a nice pickle jar.. Shes tiny but she has alot of growing to do befour she reaches the size shes supose to be, well see how she does over the summer.. Tomarrow is her first feeding in her new little home.. We get widows all the time here durring the spring and summer i usualy keep a few in with my collection of spiders...The red on her belly isnt as dark red as the one in the pic..

When I lived in California we used to have TONS of Black Widows living under our stairs. I miss them! I wish I could just go outside and see them here! But no suck luck!

Nice lady you have there!

We have the black widows in SW Sask here, and a few other creepy ones - big humpbacks with striped legs and a lizard skin pattern on them, and the big ones with hair on them that grandpa called wolf spiders - sorry, I can't get close enough to them to get pics. A fellow enthusiast was out here taking pics of snakes and spiders, when we have the slides made into pics we will add them to our gallery.

Ok as far as helping ya out heres 2 places you can try.. the first one is the best dealer i know for canada, you should get ahold of them and ask if they ever get in or carry red widows but they do have a fantastic list of T's in US prices but they work with ya on that NP.. http://www.angelfire.com/biz/Arachnophiliacs/
Ok the second one is arachnomania , try and e-mail this person ask for a price list and if they ever carry anything like the red widow.. arachnomania2002@yahoo.com see if anyone of these help ya as the e-mail one only ships within canada.. There was another dealer but he closed down just lately as he had no time to run his biz, personal probs.. anyways hope this helps some il keep looking for yaz...

[Kyle Barker]

Thanks for the link! You rule! And I think the red widow tat is a great idea! I would even use the pose in the pic. it's simetrical and shows the pattern well.
