I've made a price sheet for my commissions with current pricing! This is a sampling of my most common sizes, but I have other options too (including driftwood, furniture, wooden spoons, cutting boards, and jewelry boxes!)

Some people around me keep live black widows in jars. I feel it's a bad idea. Am I wrong?
Well... It's not a good idea per se. Their venom is potent enough to hurt adults and kill children. But the same goes for horses, and those are common animals to keep around.
Black widows are very docile. People have been known to handle them without any issue (which I have to stress I don't recommend you do, because a bite can send you to the hospital, but it does illustrate how docile they are). They're also very slow, like other orb weavers, so they can't suddenly bolt.
As long as you keep it in an escape-proof enclosure, there isn't really anything wrong with it.
EDIT: Horses are not venomous! They're capable of hurting and killing people, but not because they have venom!!
Here they are! Meet the first round of RAMS horses that we will be gentling and adopting out as a nonprofit organization!!
We have a 14.3hh 6yo buckskin mare, a 13.3hh yearling black gelding, and a 15.2hh!! Dark bay 9yo gelding. The black baby is from McGavin’s Peak and the other two are Devil’s Garden. Best guess at arrival date is some time in March!

I went out to the barn early on the 4th, since I had the day off and we’re in a heat wave that makes riding inadvisable in the afternoons and evenings. They has just turned the horses out, and Thea was waiting for the rest of her breakfast in the pasture, so I elected to just hang out for a few hours instead. Lots of grooming, some work on her feet, more grooming, and then some sitting by her while she ate.
A barn hand came out to toss in the hay and was like “Thea wouldn’t let you catch her?????” And I had to explain that I was happy just wandering around in the pasture with her, brushing and talking.
I got to watch some of the herd dynamics. Thea is NOT top mare here, which is hilarious. She’s solidly middle of 5, even when there is food, which is not usual.
Wild pony :-) this particular breed is a rare variety of semi-feral horse from the Exmoor area in England.

He do a roll. Then he SCRĒM
This is really bad. Rolling on the ground tangles their intestines and is a sign of discomfort.
I’m sure you mean well and I appreciate your concern but this is misinformation.
The only bit of truth to this comment is that excessive rolling can be a sign of colic. It does not cause distension or displacement.
Otherwise rolling is just fine. Horses roll to:
- Scratch their sides/backs/faces
- Stretch their muscles (they kind of give themselves chiropractic adjustments it’s pretty cool)
- Cool themselves off (if there’s mud/moisture on the ground)
- Relieve themselves of bugs (again, a benefit of mud/dirt)
…or any combination therein.
Individual horses vary in horse often they roll, but they tend to roll more often when they’re relaxed and in environments in which they’re comfortable. They’re putting themselves in a position that compromises their ability to flee from danger.
On the long long list of things that kill horses, rolling is pretty low. Maybe if they cast themselves or trip on the way up or down. But in general, a rolling horse is something that inspires “awww cute :)” in horse owners/enthusiasts
Spirit lost???????
