Who's this little guy? - Central coast, NSW
It looks like a baby orb a juvenile or something, and I'm not sure if it's even old enough to be able to tell that great. The photos aren't incredible but this thing is TINY, absolutely adorable though

What on earth is this? (Nsw/central coast)
I was guessing maybe a baby red back or something? Photos were really hard to get due to how tiny the thing was, but it's built like a widow spider with a little black strip on the abdomen but what threw me off was the fact that it was clear looking almost, like a marble. I'm not aware of any other widow spiders in Australia but I'm almost certain it was one due to the fact that it had a web like one, hung upside down like one and looks just like one. Anyone know what it is?

I'm buying a red thighed wolf spider to keep as a pet and I'm not sure what size enclosure to buy. Apparently they need sand to burrow in which makes sense but a lot of the enclosures on bug frenzy or minibeast don't seem like they'd be suitable cause sand would just spill out onto my desk from the looks of it. I'm buying the enclosure and everything for it first before the spider but I don't actually know what to do for the enclosure and a lot of information online is unclear. I want it to have enough space to be comfortable for the spider. Sorry if these are stupid questions but I just want what's best for the spider and figured this would be the best place to ask because a lot of people here would be keepers of wolf spiders and would have experience. Any help or recommendations help.
