Now I have 35 male Metagyndes innata still available... I will be selling them for $15 a piece. They consume decaying matter (dead crickets, and rotting plants/fruits), need high humidity and low heat (room temperature).

So for food wise already they love grated carrots.

They also grab pinhead crickets. They just walk up on them slowly and snatch them up. They don't mind eating a squished cricket either.

The "spiders" look like Harvestmen.

Soooo.... they are spiders, so to speak, by what I read. Right? Arachnids, at least....

No, not spiders. Arachnids are made up of about 10 groups:
Arachnida:
Araneae - spiders
Scorpiones - scorpions
Amblypygi - whip scorpions
Solifugae - camel spiders AKA sun scorpions, AKA wind scorpions
Acari - mites
Opiliones - harvestmen
Ricinulei
Schizomida
Uropygida - vinegaroons, tailless whip scorpions
Palpigradi

Then there are the almost-arachnids:
Pycnogonida - sea spiders
Pentastoma/Pentastomida - tongue worms Relationships uncertain, sometimes thought to be highly specialized arachnids. NASTY parasites.
