I'd like to show off one of the most beautiful animals that I've ever kept, even though she's gone now.
Meet Bellatrix, the southern black widow spider:

We found her living in our garage last November. Initially, I wanted to let her out in our yard, but my mother decided that she was too big of a threat to be released. I ended up keeping her over the winter, until she died this May. It was horrible losing her, but the few months that I was able to observe her was worth any trouble she caused.
