What's this I've found in my Chile's tank?
Sorry if I'm just wasting everyone's time with some house spider here, but I found this in my gravid Chliean's tank a few weeks ago. It kept weaving webs in between a piece of bark and the substrate and every time I tried to catch it, it just shot off into the bark. Well, yesterday I finally managed to catch it and was wondering if anyone could identify it for me as I have no experience with spiders whatsoever:
 NB. The distinctive abdomen markings, strikes me as some sort of exotic specie?  The leg span is <1cm and I dropped a small cricket in last night which was gone when I took these pics today. Thanks

Woah, that looks pretty unusual. Almost widow like, lol.

Steatoda bipunctata aka Rabbit Hutch Spider.. looks exactly like one to me... Its one of the false widow spiders, so has a slight ammount of venom, sortoff a sub species i suppose...

Ah cheers for that!
 It does look similar to the male spiders on that link, exept the abdomen has white dots rather than that kind of textured colouration  I was going to keep it anyway see how big it gets Dan

It is sort of shaped like the false black widow spider, which tends to be all black.
I cannot be 100% sure, but I have a feeling that one of them perhaps killed a med sized camel spider I had, some time ago. I had netting as lids. The camel spider was maybe 6-7cm. I thought it had died of the usual thing, but when cleaning out the tank, one of these false widows ran out, from near were the body had been. It seems unlikely, but not impossible...
