Can you house a spider with its babies?

Answer by  crisduarte (363)

I would say you couldn't house a spider with its babies unless you havespecial accomodations for them. There are some spiders that have dangerous venom and if you house them freely in your home you could be in for some serious danger. I would not recommend housing them unless you have the gear for it.

A spider, such as the wolf spider, will carry her babies on her back for a few days. When the babies begin to leave the mothers back, or nest, they should be housed seperately to avoid the mother eating them. They can also be provided with grass to hide in.

It depends on what type of spider you own. Some spiders if they don't leave their young will eat them and other protect them very aggressively. You will have to look online for your species of spider and sees it habits.

It depends on the type of spider, the number of babies and the size of the enclosure. Most spiders will eat their young if not enough food or space is availabe. Research your species on the internet for more information.

Yes, baby spiders or "spiderlings" stay with their mother after they are hatched for protection and safety. If you have any doubts, contact your local pet store or Entomologist!

Yes you can house baby spiders, but if you dont want them all over your house, it is suggested that you keep them in a covered home like a tank, or a container. do not let them wander or you will have a house full of baby spiders! Its said that baby spiders can implant themselves under your skin.
