hey guys.

I went up to get some cickets & tub of locusts from where i got Draco (main place i go).
When i started to transfer the locusts i saw a little spider. I dont know where they get their
locusts from but my partners brother has come over tonight and had a look and he says
it looks like a bown recluse spider. its still in the tub which the locusts originaly came in.

have a look on there and see if it looks like the picture on that sheet chances are its just a normal house spider

if it does look like that take it back to the shop and let them know

Thanks for that Dee.

No i dont know where they get the locusts from.

I had a look on the net last night at the recluse. it does look alot like it. whether it is or not i dont know
because its small but it doesnt look like a normal british spider to me. It looks quite agressive.

I have occasionally had these spiders in my cricket tubs. Never had a problem with them biting or anything.
