[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 66462, member: 1393"] Bad idea all around. Keeping HOT species requires discipline and taking necessary precautions. Handling them is akin to handling wild animals. Widows are actually quite fragile and do not do well out of their webs. At the very least, you are going to stress her out incredibly by even taking her out of her web/enclosure. Worst case is you drop her. Widows are deadly to humans under the right circumstances. However, the fangs are extremely small and would need to bite in a soft area of the body. If you insist on pursuing this, just wear decent gloves as she probably cannot pierce through them. If you do get tagged, please do not share this with anyone as it is a matter of time before the keeping of HOT species will not be allowed if people start advertising this kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
