Spiders in the crickets?

Whats up with there being spiders in with my cricket orders? The last time I found one this time I have already found two. Has this happened to anyone else?

Who are you ordering from? I personally never had spiders in mine when I used to order crickets....I would contact the seller and see what they say, and consider changing suppliers.

I got the first batch from herpfood.com and this batch from the reptile show here this weekend.

lots of wee baby spiders and alot of them with my crickets from reptilefood.com almost with every order, I stoped using them due to that and alot of other reasons as well.

I have had different kinds of insects in my crix orders but never spiders. Man I hate spiders. Id rather wrestle a fear snake blind folded than a spider...lol..

My problem is the spiders move in after the bugs are there. I used to catch black widows in my cricket tubs, and now there's always at least one roach tub with a spider taking up residence.
I guess the 24 hour buffet is just too tempting.

Clay,
Remind me not to put my hands in you roach colony...I beleive I would have to call in the national guard if I saw a black widow in my crix....I know I know I;m a big woose

Widows are actually very interesting spiders. I haven't seen any in a couple of years, but I used to just catch them out of the tubs and keep them in one gallon pickle jars.
I had one for two years. Always enjoyed watching them hunt.
I'm not much for spiders overall, but I found the widows to be pretty neat.

I just saw my first one the other day while cleaning my rabbit hutches...It was living in some brush beside the cage, I just checked him out and went on my way.....I beleive that the female is the only one that is dangerouns right and then it is just mild envenamations....

is it okay if the gecko eats a spider ??
