Our house is over run with black widows. I'm finding more and more juveniles each evening. (I've done some investigating since last summer on BW's and now am proud to say I can spot an immature one from 10 feet away LOL).
Tonight I found a pretty big immature BW (about 2 inches in length, just starting to turn black) and a pretty good sized violin spider inside the dogloo for Ralph. (Also found two BW webbing from the fence to the grass inside his enclosure). Does anyone have any info if these spiders are dangerous to sulcatas? What if Ralph eats them? What if they bite him? Could they bite through the skin on his legs? I know they could on his neck and upper legs near the shell where the skin is thinner.
Between the rats and the spiders, I'm really worried about him staying outdoors 24/7 now. We've had him since he was a 2 month old hatchling and will be 4 yrs old next month.
