I feel an idiot for not having noticed this before because of course this is a thing but I think i was using some of the friendlier spider species in my previous zoos. I went to see if my Brazilian wandering spiders were going to give me any more babies when I noticed that my male spider had dissappeared. I looked in the trade centre, tried to work out if he could have died of old age etc. when I realised I should probably read the zoopedia:
"he will move away quickly to try to ensure she won't kill and eat him"
Yikes! So I've moved on to scorpions because they seem much nicer...
