Spiders are tiny friends that will leave once they stop catching food

i dont think spiders live that long

Spiders live for several years. Some tarantulas live for more than 20 years in captivity.

Do they go grey headed and yell at younger spiders to get off their web

They do start balding when they're old

Apparently spiders can live for a couple years although they usually die after some bangin.

Male spoders tend to die after tgeir adulthood molt. Their sex organs are in their pedipalps and they get bigger after spider puberty. Unfortunately this means that they can't escape a molt as an adult.

Do spiders poo?

Do you find little spider poos on the counter each day.

Not really, spiders are very efficient at digestion. They do usually leave some inedible parts of their prey around, though this varies from spider to spider. Some are very messy while others are very clean. It's actually a personality thing, not a species thing.

Reginald, being a cool spider.



I don't know how he gets water, I am in Denver so the air is also very dry, hopefully that won't be a problem for Reginald. :ohdear:

Spiders get most of their water from their food. Tarantulas will occasionally drink from water sources (they basically just dunk their face in) but for 99% of the time humidity and food is more than enough water for them.
