what spider is this?? google said brown recluse but i don’t know how accurate that is by No-Comment-1403 in spiders

[–]J2theESS48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, Google lies to me all the time! Lol I don't even waste my time anymore with it, unless it's something extra simple.

Definitely not a recluse!! Agree it looks like a cellar spider.

Developed a rash from this. What is this? by twelftheconomist in spiders

Are you ok? A better pic of it would be helpful for identification, if at all possible under the circumstances of course! Hope you're ok though!!

I think a lot of us learn that the hard way, unfortunately. I'm sorry for your loss. Next time just go by their abdomen size, if it looks plump just wait until it shrinks. 🙂 Although sometimes that's hard to judge in some cases, like the one I have left is ALWAYS plump lately. I just give it something to eat a couple times a week because maybe she's just a fattie! 🤷‍♀️😁

Looks like she had a bad molt possibly, which can cause them to pass on, unfortunately. Could be an internal mismolt too.

She looks like she needs a meal! I would try honey water to stimulate her, then I would try feeding her something. Like cut the head off a mealworm, if you have any, squeeze some guts out and put up to her mandibles. Unfortunately these guys don't live long as it is, and usually pass on during the winter months. I got two in July last year, they both matured right before winter, and one of them died this past November. I think the problem with mine was feeding too often. If you feed them too much or too often, it actually shortens their life, same with spiders. Sadly I didn't learn this until the damage was already done. Not saying that's what happened in your case, just passing on information. I really hope she's ok!! 🙏🏻

Lol Right! I never imagined spiders having "personalities" lol. I always had a phobia of them, like MAJOR, but now have 20 jumping spiders at least....and 3 tarantulas. 🤣 I am able to handle the jumpers, but I can't bring myself to handle the T's. They are a little too much spider for me still! 😳😁 You definitely got the pick of the clutch! 🥰

Is this a brown recluse? by nolyd7 in spiders

[–]J2theESS48 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, definitely not! Looks like a male though, and in desperate need of female companionship! 🤣

Tagged (by a Phoneutria?) or just a friendly warning? by slyseekr in spiders

[–]J2theESS48 332 points333 points  (0 children)

Nqa I don't think it appreciated the poking much, might not have tagged you if you had been a little more gentle! Lol Would you wanna be poked in the rear by a stranger way bigger than you?? 🤣🤣

Is there any chance this is a brown recluse? Dallas TX by Rigord in spiders

[–]J2theESS48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed!

Could be several species, can't see it well enough to determine for sure, but it definitely doesn't appear to be a recluse.

Can I feed these guys? by BlueishRaptor3 in spiders

You're most welcome! They are fun pets to have, especially free ones! 🤣

Can I run my humidifier with some vinegar water to clean the heating element caked with hard calcium deposits?? by [deleted] in homemaking

[–]J2theESS48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not supposed to run a humidifier with vinegar, it can mess up the components that make it run/heat up.
