      You're just firing off the spider questions today.

      My brother had had some till a while ago, but they don't live that long. He had two of the American species ones and a redback. They are really chill spiders and don't handle differently than any other local Theridiid spider. They are quite boring, really.

      You don't really interact with them, they setup their web and then they'll just stay there till they die of old age (around 2 years).

            I have a significant colony of false widows (steatoda) around the house. They're very chill and mostly stay outside and make webs in corners.

              I have a terrifying story of black widows from Sacramento from about 35 years ago.
