Will look great in your new house !

I had these in the past and always had problems with them living only in the very top of the cage. Not to fun when I had to open it up to feed her. :eek:

it's a mixture of "lime-sand,... leemzand" with yellow sand and some "spagnum" with some twigs :)

Easy!
just keep the box upside down! so when you have to feed them just turn it and through the feeders in.

Needless to say that this option is not workable if you have substrate in the enclosure for obvious reasons....

In my opinion, latrodectus do not need any kind of substrate. I keep them in pil vials with a piece of wood glued in them. In those vials the live AND breed without any problems.

Off course they don't need substrate,... but if you want something more esthetic to look at then a glass vial ;P ;) ,... you can make a nice enclosure with some sand and when putting a little oil on the underside of the lid,.. they don't make webs that high in the tank :cool:

Hmm, spaghetti! Very nice looking tank (and spider ofcourse) there!

Really, really nice setup! :)

Those pasta containers work great for hosing widows.

I put 2" of gravel iin the bottom with some peat over that. Of course, they don't need substrate at all, but the gravel weighs down the bottom so it isn't as easy to knock over accidentally.
