Steatoda grossa Wanted

[invertasnakes]

Unusual i know but i love these lil guys so if anyone has some they wanna get rid of (if your garage is littered with them) then let me know. I know im gonna sound tight but dont wanna pay much considering they seem to flourish in certain parts of the country, just not where i am . Looking for a few 3,4,5 the more the better! Thanks guys n girls!

Obviously will pay the usual £6.00 for RMSD but just sensible peeps

WTF? I sent a couple of S. nobilis to somebody in Scotland and didn't even charge them postage! I must be getting soft in my old age.

That you must! Should have come and asked you

I know it was pricy considering most people consider them pests! But shes a really beautiful example and i really cant understand how people wouldnt want one as a pet. Theres another Steatoda species thats not living in the UK which is even more stunning (has red/orange markings) but their reeeally hard to get ahold of.

(if youve not already) Pop one in a nice setup and throw a locust in you can understand how these things are known to prey on the REAL black widow in the wild!

Yeah the one that you mean is the steatoda paykullia and they have stunning colours but aint easy to get hold of
