Black Widow pics???

I saw some one on here that showed off a pic or two of their black widows. (I think it was Rustydragons).. If you want to post them, feel free :) I'm just trying to find them to show my fiance. :)

Thanks guys!

The best I can do is a (bad) pic of our last red widow.
She was a wonderfull "mom" as she defended her egg sac quite well!!
She has since past on but was a very interesting spider!

I'll move this to the invertabrate forum, try and keep things in their proper forum, lol.

Nice pic. I've never seen a black widow, and don't like little spiders. But I like tarantulas and would kill for an emporer scorp. Got any of those?

i found a black widow in my shed last year. it was jet black with the red hour glass shape. needless to say, he got the timbos in his face. they totally creep me out...

Will, now all of his brothers and sisters (by the thousands) are going to find you when your sleeping... mwahahaha...lol
Emporer scorpions are great, at the moment all we have is an african flatrock:

and a desert hairy scorp who is on her last legs, (very old)
But I have had alott of emporers great scorps to care for.

lol, yeah im terrified of anything that small. ew, bugs.

Thanks Rusty (and John, lol).. I lived in Los Angeles my whole life up until 2 years ago, and there were black widows all over the place. I wanted a pic to show my fiance, he's never seen one, lol. Thanks!

cool spiders

do you even have to clean its cage i can't imagine spider poo is all big
what did you feed it?

They eat small insects IE: Small crickets etc. They are excellent masters in killing and eating their prey.
It can be quite the intense thing to move one from it's enclosure. Very exhilerating to say the least..lol
Respect them and learn about them. Very ineresting animals to care for.
Thanks
Rusty

I haven't seen a black widow aaround our place in probably a couple of years. Whether that's because of the cats, the geckos, or some other factor, I'm not sure, but suffice it to say, I haven't missed them at all.

I found a spider that looks like closest to a red widow in my box of crickets.Im not sure where the crickets came from but it was the U.S. somewhere.I got a bad pic of it from the side so far.
Its got the same pattern as a red widow,only its white instead of red.Even has 2 white spots on its underside.I figured it might be immature still and will get its coloring in another molt or 2.Any ideas if its what i think it is?(ill try to post a pic or link) http://www.geocities.com/pirranha25/foundcricketbox.jpg

I find black widows all the time around here.....I kept one for a while and fed it extra crickets I had layin around for my Beardie.

The link didn't work for me :(

hmm ok heres a different one to the same pics http://www.geocities.com/pirranha25/start.html

Huh, well my husband and I agree that from that pic the body style looks right but the whitish spots are throwing us a bit off. I do know that red widows are only native to the palm areas in Florida. Maybe if you can figure out where your crix came from. None the less try not to make that spider mad..lol

black widows are real common in the rocky's in BC
i used to find them when i went to visit my uncle in kaslo

I agree with rusty Its body type looks like black widow but the markins say other wise it would be interesting to know what kinda spider it is
at any rate don't let it bite you

ya,im not taking any chances just in case. :)
Im no expert in spiders so anyone have any ideas what it might be?
ill try to get a better pic of it from the top soon,it doesnt like to pose in a photographic sort of way for me,and im not big on poking it to get it to sit the way i want it to.

I found out what it is.
its a Steatoda triangulosa. I looked it up on google and found a pic that looks exactly like a better pic i took of mine.

I'm glad you were able to ID it
