Black Hole Spider (Kukulcania hibernalis) - 2-3" leg span (Subadult/Adult, Unsexed) WC

Kukulcania hibernalis (Black Hole Spider / Southern House Spider) The easiest, most hands-off display spider in the hobby, and one of the cheapest ways to put a real web-builder on your shelf. This jet-black crevice weaver moves into a crack, spins a flat mat of woolly lace around the entrance, and turns one corner of the tank into a living trap you get to watch work every night. Big for a house spider at a 2 to 3 inch leg span, harmless to people, and she can hold the same doorway for years. Grab a Black Hole Spider today and give your collection the web everyone asks about. Why do hobbyists keep Kukulcania hibernalis? • The Web: a wide mat of cribellate lace that funnels into one dark hole. It grows every week and it works: anything that touches it gets pulled in. • Hands-Off and Harmless: shy, reluctant to bite, and not medically significant. The perfect first true spider and a safe one for a kid's room. • Years of Display: females are long-lived and almost never leave the retreat. Set it up once and watch it for years. • Tiny Footprint: a small enclosure is all she needs. A big show in a small cube. How should Kukulcania hibernalis be kept? • Adult Size: females reach a 2 to 3 inch leg span with a thick, velvet-black body. Males are smaller, brown and long-legged (and get mistaken for brown recluses every spring). • Enclosure: a 4 to 8 inch cube is plenty. Lean a slab of cork bark against the glass or give her a slot in a piece of wood: the crevice is the whole setup. She builds the web around its mouth. • Temperature: 70 to 85 degrees F. Normal room temperature is perfect. • Humidity: dry-leaning. Coco fiber or sand kept mostly dry with a light mist on the walls once a week. • Water: she drinks the mist. A bottle-cap dish is optional. This listing: 2-3" leg span (Subadult/Adult, Unsexed) WC. Spice 1: Kid Safe. Ships FedEx Overnight, Monday to Wednesday.
