Update June 2026, she has passed.

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

She's still chillin. Oldest widow I'm aware of.

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

Like yea bro I'm sure the fact that no one has ever been able to produce a brown widow from your area or the fact that you live in an arboral tundra mean nothing against the fact that your dad's childhood friend's cousin was bitten by something a decade ago

It will never amaze me how willing someone people are to fight over the collective psychosis that makes people think brown widows inhabit all corners of America.

I finally found images of L. hystrix

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

I've had this girl for about two years now. She's never molted in my care and is at least 3 years old.

Very curious to see how long I can keep her.

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

Oh yea I don't post too often on here but my widows are all doing good!

Reptile and Invertebrate expo today in Bakersfield, very excited and I'm looking forward to picking up some new widows.

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

Turns out, it was not.

I'm sorry, is THIS A REAL L. HYSTRIX????

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

My widows are still alive and living their best life btw

[Kern Country Spider Guy @KernSpider]

I can't believe I have to periodically remind people that L. Geometricus is, in fact, medically significant.

Yes they're probably going to do less damage than a western or southern widow but that doesn't mean you should barehand them!

Eggs hatched

Also I got a new job that takes up a *lot* of my free time so less time for spiders :(

Finally got my L. Dahli to eat, she was getting so skinny but I didn't want to move her unless she ate first. Once she's settled a bit I'm giving her a new home.
