I trapped a spider in my office, how long will he live for?
 

I had just a little bit of coffee in my mug left when I saw a spider hanging on to the telephone cord. I shook him off it and trapped him on my desk under my coffee mug. How long does OOT think he will survive under my mug? My plan is to starve him to death (Rather than squish him barbarically).

How is starving a creature to death less barbaric than killing it instantly by crushing?

Gonna be a while. My guess is 10 days.

I think he will last 2 weeks. If he makes it a week though you should set him free! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Really? I'd definitely take the under. I think it will be more like 1 day.

This is a trick question right?

The coffee is clearly going to cause him to grow to 1000 times his normal size and then he'll be eating you. I would be nice to him if I were you.

You should trap another spider and then take bets on the fight.

What if he pokes holes in the coffee cup?

Anyways, if suffocation is removed, wouldn't he die of thirst before starving to death? How much water do spiders need?
