Feeding a pet black widow might seem like a daunting task to many, but for me, it is a fascinating experience. As the owner of a pet black widow named Binx, I have learned a lot about these incredible creatures and their unique eating habits. In this article, I am going to share my experience of feeding my pet black widow, Binx, and give you some fascinating insights into their feeding habits.
Black Widows Make Fascinating Pets
Keeping a black widow as a pet might seem strange to some people, but for me, it is an incredible experience. Black widows are incredible creatures that are fascinating to observe, especially when they are feeding. Their unique eating habits are what make them such an interesting pet to keep.
The Way Black Widows Eat Is Fascinating To Watch
When it comes to feeding, black widows have a unique way of consuming their prey. Unlike other spiders, black widows use their webbing to detect movement. As their prey walks across the webbing, they can feel the vibrations and know where to strike.

When feeding my pet black widow, Binx, I drop the worm onto her webbing. By doing this, she can feel the prey moving and knows where to strike. It’s incredible to watch how she approaches the worm with such caution and carefully approaches it.
The Spider Approaches The Worm Cautiously And Webs It Up Before Using Venom
Once Binx has detected the movement of the worm, she approaches it cautiously and swiftly webs it up. This webbing serves to keep the prey in place while she uses her venom to subdue it. It’s fascinating to observe how Binx weaves the webbing around the worm, ensuring that it’s tightly secured before striking.
The Spider Spends A Couple Of Hours Enjoying The Meal
After subduing the worm, Binx spends a couple of hours enjoying her meal. During this time, she feeds on the worm and uses the venom to break down the proteins in its body. It’s incredible to watch how she eats and how her body digests the food.
