Can you take them out to pin them for a frame?

Our widows are posed within the vial in a way that would make them difficult to remove without damaging the specimen. Being that they have been submerged in alcohol for preservation they are malleable, so it is possible, but it would take a bit of dexterity to remove without damaging them.

Do u have to change the rubbing alcohol?

You can add more alcohol if it evaporates a bit over time, but you don't need to change it unless you want to

Can you take the lid off and stuff the specimen? Because I want to make it into a headband accessorie for my emo girlfriend.

I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably break just trying to remove it from the vial.

Can this.be cast in resin

Yes I have several customers who put them in resin

Cool spider!!!

No, this was an awesome gift for my husband. It was something different and unique. The spider inside looks so cool and you can really tell that it’s a black widow. The condition was great. The size was perfect and the glass valve it was in was perfect so if you drop it, it won’t break.

Great for D&D Games

I used this for a D&D game as a magic item prop that called forth a giant spider when used. It was a lot of fun and added a depth to the game and I let the player keep it for the memory of a fun day. Absolutely worth it.
