They range from Libya, to the middle east ( Iran, Iraq ), and into Russia. You can expect their bite to be similar to most other widows, as well as their husbandry. Avoid keeping them too moist however, as they inhabit arid regions.

Some pics.

Thanx Venom, I wasn't sure where they were from. Mine are coming here from Israel so I guess that they are probably native of the area. I will let you know when I get them.

P.S. I have kept L. mactans before so I figured that their husbandry was pretty much the same
