Great colors, and very tame. Loves mice (pre-killed, of course) but the warmer they are, the harder he strikes and often will throw a coil or two around the prey like he did the kill. Instinct is just amazing.
Not tonight, sorry.
Here is a Black Widow (dead now) that was discovered by Lexie. The spider had set up home in a crevice on a utility trailer parked on the driveway. She had a nice big egg sack that she was guarding.
Lexie told me about it and I asked her to show me and there it was - dangerously close to home, to say the least. I told Lexie to always tell an adult about spiders like this one.
