Our Pet the Black Widow Spider

I would agree with you concerning the black widow spider as a pet. I don't have it anymore. When I was married, my husband and his father, had a wildlife farm in Florida. They raised all types of wild animals. There were cougers and leopards, tiger and servals, bobcats and various birds, a raccoon and otters, and wild alligators that stopped by to visit.

Frank Jr & Sr, did wildlife lectures at local events and Indian Reservations, and once at the Coco Convania Club in Miami. So having a black widow spider to teach people about the danger of having them around your house, was normal for them. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, but luckily no one was ever seriously hurt although, we had some close calls.

The reason I don't put my own pictures up is because I do not have a scanner right now that works well. Even if I did still have the spider in a jar it would be hard to get a good picture for here. Thus, I need to use other people's video's to show the creatures I write about.

Any other questions? I will be happy to answer them.
