Nice snails, and nice spider. I have a Steatoda grossa who eats the woodlice in the snail tank. |

thats fantastic. i never considered keeping the 2 of them together. but i did once come across a very emaciated steatoda bipunctata (a very small steatoda spp. but very common where i stay) i took pity on her cause she looked near to death. i didnt have anywhere to put her so i momentarily put her in with my snails and she kept feeding (or drinking) on an apple that was in the tank. within a week her abdomen was plump and i released her. i love the steatoda spp. as much as i love GALS they are very pretty shiny little spiders. sadly we dont get S.grossa or S.nobilis where i stay as im 2 far north in uk. keep promising my self a trip down south though |
