Yeah, i'm waiting for the day we get no more posts and we hear on Fark that some dude was killed by 50+ baby black widows and was cocooned up and drained of all bodily fluids.

Do you throw them at people you don't like?
With all those babies, I'm sure sling shotting a few at the asshole neighbor isn't that big a loss.

Jeez man, I thought I was different when I got a snake as a pet, but you're off the deep end. Who the hell keeps Black Widows as pets?

So when you gonna expose them to radiation and create super spiders?

I am willing to bet anything, that what you are doing is illegal. And if I knew where you lived I would call the cops and I am totally serious. You are endangering people who live near you.

Yeah get the stick out of your ass prude, I mean it's not like he doesn't know what he's doing. So what he's breeding deadly spiders, I mean really aside from the fact they can escape and kill people, and possibly might reproduce enough to kill everyone in the area, this seems like a pretty safe thing to do.

Besides from all the posts from the OP it seems like all they want to do is kill HD's.

One thing nobody has touched on is he's MARRIED and his wife is OK with this. Shit, my GF wouldn't put up with me not killing one spider in the house. If I told her I was going to breed them, even ones that don't have poison, she would be like "have fun by yourself!" and be gone. I find it amazing his wife sticks around. That's not a shot at you OP, I really am impressed your wife puts up with this from you.

People need only understand one common thing in this thread.........
Do I want to get bitten? Do I want my wife to get bitten? Do I want anyone bitten?

NO!
There you have it. It's as plain and simple as it can be.

Make fun of it all you want, I'm posting more pics as soon as I get my new hard drive situated.

what you want and what happens are two completely different things. you can't deny what you're doing is quite dangerous. illegal, I dunno, that would depend on your local laws.

Man, you couldn't pay me to do what you're doing. Don't have much against spiders but raising them intentionally? And black widows to boot? Pfft, no thx.

Do have a question though (which might have been answered but I don't wanna sort through 10 pages...or google it), in the picture of the male and female, which is which? Are the females the big ones?

Pics please of you and your wife in the hospital.

The male is almost always the smaller of the two with spiders.
No pics of the wife or me. I've already lost a hand from a spider bite and it's not pretty. Damn, typing is painful!

you gonna ban anything that might be a little harmful? how about cars? or guns? knives? or is the actual problem behind the fact that you're afraid of spiders which couldn't give a crap about people?

I am confused, the OP goes out of his way to make it a point to say it's not dangerous and he knows what he's doing, but just said he lost a hand from a spider bite. If he wasn't kidding there I would say he probably doesn't know what he's doing.

and to GhettoPeanut, this is very different, I was taking out the trash a few months ago, i opened the lid to put the bag in and noticed a Black Widow scurrying away. It could have bit me if it wanted, I was less than an inch away from touching it. OP is breeding these. Being afraid of spiders or not has little to do with it. A Black Widow can kill you so there's really no need to BREED them.

I saw a huge BW under our trash bin last week... made me think of this thread. lol

Okay, it's been 10 days, got my new hard drive and my hand is healing nicely :laugh:

Small update, but there will be more soon.
It will be nice when the ones that are getting bigger can eat larger things like crickets soon. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Well, 5 in my case ;)

Getting to the point of moving each of the larger spiders into their own jars.

Okay, for those that are interested, I did get bitten on the finger. Sorry to say, but they're amputating the middle finger on my left hand!

I'm dying, send me money :laugh:

See, I can kill my own threads!
