Black Widow For Film Shoot?

Postby Fooble » Fri Sep 20, 2013 11:23 am

A strange request.

I have a friend in the film Industry based in Johannesburg who are looking for a Black Widow Spider and someone who can handle/wrangle the animal for the specific shoot.

Can anyone assist or know who can possible help out?

Please get in contact with me and i can share details and particulars.

THANKS!

Black widow specifically or will a Black phase brown widow do?
A lot of our local Brown widows here in JHB are black with the red hourglass.
I'm sure I can find a few in the garden with out to much effort.

Hey guys!
So long as it's that classic image that most people see in their head when they think black widow, little black spider with a red hourglass.
I googled and saw there are also some with red on their backs? That could work too.
All the spider will have to do it walk across a pillow.
We don't just want the spider though, we want someone to come along on set and "wrangle" it.
There will also be payment, so it doesn't need to be done out of the goodness of your hearts, although ill treatment of the animal will not be tolerated.
Send me a pm if you think you can help or know someone who can.
Oh and we're not sure where exactly in jhb yet, still doing location scouting, also no date has been confirmed, but it should be within the next few weeks.
Thanks!
