Thanks for the tag! I was waiting all day! it's funny that the tag for "my brain is so full...." Acctually made a tag You have wonderful arachnids! What kind of container do you keep them in? How do you catch them? How do you Identify them?

LOL I hadn't noticed! Thank you so much!! It took me all day to photograph, post, perfect.. etc etc. I catch them with my hands or by gently scooping them up in a container. I identify them with bugguide.com and Google, I also have a Keen eye for details so it's easier to weed out which species it might be.

Cali and Citrus really need an upgraded enclosure, I know!!
When I find something usable for an upgrade I am immediately going to upgrade them. I think I'll be two more containers that the pods and pedes are in!!

No! If it's a male, call it Wilbur! How do you identify the gender...?

Usually there is a way to tell, either by markings, size, colors or any other defining feature!! And that's a good suggestion as well!!!

An example is the red backed jumping spider, the female has a black stripe, the male has a complete red back

Aww thank you!! I'm positively going to breed spiders when I'm older, I might try it if I find a female red-back!! I'd love to and yes, the male being eaten would be the worst outcome!!

If I can breed rabbits without letting the male eat the babies certainly you can do the same!!
