What is Cobweb Castle and the Spider Keep?

Cobweb Castle LLC was formed in 2020 by Elliott Stanton as he was wrapping up a career in the military. The company launched the patent pending Spider Keep as a wooden habitat designed for the Southern House Spider or Kukulcania hibernalis. These are harmless spiders which proliferate in the Southern states. Elliott had been working over a decade on a design that would allow the unique behavior of Southern House Spider to be observed in a controlled environment. The Spider Keep has been featured on channels such as Clint's Reptiles and The Tarantula Collective. Currently, Elliott continues to grow Cobweb Castle through building the YouTube Channel and updating the wooden habitats to a new plastic design.

Thats so cool. I cant wait to see how the nest developes. What will you be feeding her?

You're a lot braver than I am. i am originally from Louisiana. The red wasps we have are seriously aggressive. I have always been nervous around them, which may be part of why they seem so aggressive. I live in North Dakota now. The paper wasps here are everywhere in the summer, but don'tseem too aggressive.
I love those spider keeps. I'm still waiitng for my husband to agree to let me have one. He cut me off on pets.

Was the nest empty when you found it? I bet you could use that setup to pupate butterflies and moths. Ever consider getting one of those jewel wasp which zombify cockroaches with parasitod venom? I know they are an act of cruelty on cockroaches, but they are fascinating. I wonder if you could use a tarantula molt as bait to lure in a hawk wasp; that is if the scent traces are strong enough for the wasp to pick up. Perhaps a fresh molt would be your best bet. That would possibly eliminate the likelihood of being stung trying to catch one by hand.

Very cool! I’d love to try this with some of my local paper wasps, which include Metric paper wasps and the yellow/red striped small ones. When might these new habitats be available?
