Woodlouse spider feeding

haha you can see me frantically and carefully attempting to stop the spiderlings from escaping, i'm capable of very gentle touch, as an artist my hands are trained to be delicate with fragile things.
Mama becomes curious of the commotion and runs out to check on her tykes, and snatch a few baby isopods I dumped in. These spiders actually care for their young, and will regurgitate a liquid to keep them hydrated and nourished.
This is probably one of the most interesting spiders I can think of.
These spiders are able to be housed communally, and will share a meal peacefully, sometimes fights DO break out, but they're peaceful and merely a demonstration of strength. As long as everyone gets fed, they wont kill each other.
