Cheiracanthium mildei/inclusum?

[AkitaYoji]

I see these spiders in my house frequently and finally got a few decent pics of one. They supposedly have a pretty powerful bite, but they leave me alone. This one was missing 3 legs on the right side! It didn't seem to hinder his activities at all.

Are you serious? I find these guys very frequently. I would be willing to send one your way.

very serious! if at all possible i would like more than one. some spiders just will NOT bite! plus, i would like to culture both the midei and inclusum. i find these periodically in CA and had one for a while but it went MM and died

from AB

man, those look a lot meaner than C. mildei or C. inclusum (i forget what sp. i have locally)

kind of blurry pic of the local species... mildei as it turns out

At this very moment, I have, what I believe to be, the 5-legged male that I took pics of, and a female, in my bathroom! I am gonna go catch them. If anyone wants them, PM me your address and PayPal me money for shipping ($9.00 - priority and $20.50 - express). PayPal to Akitayoji@aol.com. No guarantees as I am not looking to benefit from this, except to learn.

the eggsacs are somewhat small, but the eggs themselves are relatively large. it looks like a semitransparent eggsac built suspended in the middle of a living sac (the reason they are called sac spiders). i had the good forture to have a female make her brooding sac and eggsac in a tarantula's cage, with the brooding sac made between the plastic of the cage and a water dish so i could see into the brooding sac.
