My pet black widow just laid eggs, what should i do?
    #5771318 - 06/20/06 02:52 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

About 3 weeks ago i discovered a black widow in my back yard while i was high. i was very frightened. ive kinda had a fear of spiders all my life. i read up a little about black widows online and heard of a few people keeping them as pets. this sounded like a kinda cool and exciting thing to do, and ive been wanting a pet for a while anyways. i caught it and put it in a small terarium with some twigs and such. innitially i was going to raise it to fight the next spider i find, but ive grown attached to charlotte and now i dont think i could do that to her. its loads of fun catching crickets and other bugs and dropping them into her den of death. shes proven to be a very cheap and easy to keep pet.

However, she has just laid her first of possibly 12 egg sacs (over the course of summer) and i dont know what i should do. 250 to 700 spiderlings will be on there way in about 14 to 24 days. and they are small enough to crawl out through the air holes of her terarium.

Innitially i though i would pull the sac out with tweezers and just stomp it, but id like to try a more humanitarian approach.

what do you guys think?

yeesh thats a bad spider to keep around.
Take those bitches WAY out into the country, and let them loose.
Imagine if you woke up one day, and 700 black widows stormed you. That would be a shitty way to die.

get rid of Mama too. The only good use for a Black Widow, is to smite your enemys.
Get a puppy or something.

I have a rule, I do not keep pets that:
A. I am scared shitless of
and/or
B. That can kill me

If you have the balls to pick up the egg sac of a spider whom will defend it viciously, then take the sac and toss it into a mason jar full of rubbing alcohol. Then just leave the fuckers in there. Killing jar, it's called.

well, in the guy's defense, black widow bites are often not fatal... but they are nonetheless a very dangerous spider.

And, fun fact:
A person can only receive black widow antivenom once in their lifetime. Repeat use can cause death.

...that i did not know

before i thought about doing this i did alot of homework, they really arent that deadly. i know a guy whose been bitten 4 times. only 6% of reported bites are proven to be potentially fatal. its a pretty mellow and fascinating pet aswell. before i would just stomp any insect, especially a spider, but i feel ive gained a new appreciation for the beauty in all facets of life, even deadly facets. the only thing that i fear is the eggs hatching in my room so i suppose ill jsut take the sac out with a long pair of tweezers and release them at a local playground or something (just kidding) i think ill just put it somewhere where they wont bother anyone. i feel bad enough squashing a solitary bug now, i dont want to single handedly take 700 lives for no reason. bad karma i suppose.

I'd honestly consider keeping a pet spider as a means to help me overcome fear of spiders, but I think it would just wind up making me neurotic and paranoid about it getting out of it's terrarium.

I'd say you get the terrarium and release Charlotte and her spiderlings somewhere far out in the country. Why don't you get a tarantula or something. They're not deadly, they just hurt really bad. At least that's what I've heard. And you can play with them.
I'm also scared of spiders, well it's less now than a couple of years ago, but still I'd never keep one as a pet. I had walking twigs for a while in primary school.

Interesting how a few of you think anything that can hurt you should die.

Pluck the egg sack out.

The spiderlings will die in the cage anyway.

Having a den of black widows around your house is potentially fatal to you, your family, your friends - and other animals that may be around if they get bit. Do the safe/smart thing - take them out to a very remote area and let them free. Or : kill them.

Do you really think that a black widow is an appropriate pet?

I think you should say goodbye to charlotte and her kids. Release them far, far away from human habitation.

Sheesh... the fear mongers around here...

A few facts about black widow spiders:

1) The bites are rarely fatal in adults because the bite delivers very little venom.
2) Males and juvenile black widow spiders are usually harmless
3) The eggs in the sack may not be fertilized leaving them unviable

> I'd say you get the terrarium and release Charlotte and her spiderlings somewhere far out in the country.

The best advice given.

Oh yeah... I had forgotten about that...

the eggs may not be fertile anyhow. Seeing as how you don't have a male in there with her (if you did, she probably would have eaten him before the time was right to mate anyhow), It's likely the eggs are infertile.

I wouldn't rely upon that, I'd still release the spiders far from your house (far away is important, spiders are territorial and may return if released close enough to home).

Make sure she doesn't get pissed off at you when you release her, when they're irked, black widows are willing to chase you down. They've chased me across my back yard once or twice. The ire of a defensive mother is impressive.

Well, the first time was when I was a kid, so I was just too damn scared to try and stomp it. I knew they could jump fast and far.

The second time, it was just fight/flight reflex, flight won... probably because of the memory of the first time.

I'm deathly afraid of spiders :crazy:

Normally I attempt to kill them, but if a venomous one makes a run at me I generally retreat.

Most female insects, spiders included, can mate once keeping the sperm alive within them until it is needed at a later time (or times). I wouldn't count on the egg sac being infertile, but it can happen.

oh, i thought you were worried about killing a spider as far as karma and all that goes.  its one thing to avoid killng random insects, but letting them run you around is a bit much.

no me gusta spiders either.  i turn into a four year old girl when i see one.

Just get rid of the egg sacs like everyone says. No harm in keeping the black widow as a pet as long as you have a proper cage. We used to go hunting for them in the mt's of NC, like most things in life if you don't piss it off or scare the spider they won't harm you.

Not true. It's dangerous all the time, but you can have it used more than once. I have. It's even commercially available (the antivenom). But it can cause complications, even used once.

I've been bit by a black widow 2 times, never recieved antivenom, it's painful,
it itches and it burns, but it's not lethal to a healthy adult, it will kill babies, the old and infirm

i have 2 black widows, they are common round here,
if you remove the eggs espect the female to attack you.

also, do not be surprised if the female wastes away and refuses food.

i find that letting them keep the sac promotes vigor and appitite bear in mind that the female will infact carry the eggsac back to a safer location if it is moved.

this means you can remove it, kill the eggs (a few secs in microwave or in a hyperbolic vacuum) then return the sac, the mother will continue to guard them for the remainder of her 5 year lifespan.

bear in mind that hatchling latrodectus are quite harmless, and males are always harmless.

My mama widow is protecting a dead batch now only because it got fungus from too much humidity.

my other widow had her eggs removed, and is slowly starving.

Scorpion would be a good choice, methinks.

They're just as cool as spiders, but more awe-inspiring and less panic-inspiring.

Man, if you have any enemies or people you fucking hate. Lure your spider away from the sacks with a cricket or whatever, put the sacks in a jar, place it near your enemies houseand put the sacks on some wood or something...

thats alot of spidys if they did hatch, i suggest taking care of em, thats a good number of spiders to start a black widow army, training will be rough, but i think its worth it, especially if they think of you as a superior

my suggestion would be to burn the egg sacs.

im not to sure if you want to be keeping the spider either.

but if you can avoid little spiderlings you should be fine keeping it in the terrarium

black widdows are not something to be feared, they are really a laid back spider.. i saw some discovery channel thing about this family that kept black widdows, they were handling them like a freakin pet, it was pretty sick seeing an 9 yr old just having a black widdow crawlikng on his hand.

but yea, take the egg sack and get rid of it, somehow. burning it in a hot fire would make it quick and painless..

but yea, if you feel comfotable keeping a black widdow as a pet, it's your choice. i'm semi-a spider phobe, but not nearly as bad as a lot of people.

No.

Keep the Widow if you like but snuff that eggsac. The Widow in the terrarium you can control, the sac will infest your neighborhood with spiders that are potentially dangerous to kids, housepets and adults.

Bleach, ammonia, rubbing alcohol, paint thinner.
any of these (not mixed) are effective. Put some in a small jar with a metal lid, drop the eggsac into it, keep it so for two days, then dispose of it whole.

It's a dangerous pest animal in its native habitat. Keep the spider if you want to but the eggsac has to go.

If you have the balls to pick up the egg sac of a spider whom will defend it viciously, then take the sac and toss it into a mason jar full of rubbing alcohol. Then just leave the fuckers in there. Killing jar, it's called.




then set the jar on fire, and pour over mother spider

spiders, yeesh, fucking hate them

hrm .. you might be safe then. 20 seconds might cause it to catch fire, which wouldn't be a good thing at all.

Now that is evil. Robbing her babies, nuking them and then giving them back to her. The first two, okay.. but to put the toasted eggsac back with her.. umm, wow.

Seriously. As if 100% of the spiders from the egg will survive and be 'potentially' dangerous. Maybe 20% of them will survive, MAYBE half will be female, so thats not too many spiders at all. Lets all not get our facts from Arachnophibia.
