I have this little spider who's made my bathroom it's house. Once in a while I'll toss a mosquito or fruit fly in the web for him to eat. Watching it wrap it's prey is pretty interesting.

As the temperature dips there are fewer insects in my house and I haven't thrown anything in his web in over a week.

So, how long will the little bastard (named Syringer BTW) survive without feeding? He's been in my bathroom for over a month now.

I have got 3 of them in my apt and there isn't much for them to eat. If it gets a little cold, they may live for months without eating.

lmao @ little syringer

the first ATOTer to become a pet.

this could be a hit with the kids, like cabbage patch dolls and teddy ruxpin in the 80s.

you can make a childrens toy that starts talking to you but doesn't finish the story. the stuffed animal spider: syringer
