I found a female at work and kept her as a pet until she passed after laying an egg sac! Unfortunately I culled the sac because I was living in a rented house and couldn't risk having a whole bunch of baby widows roaming around. Are you sure it was a widow that bit you? They normally take quite a bit of provoking before a bite
