The reason Spiders do not get cold is because they are not warm blooded like other animals with fur. The "fur" that you see on tarantulas and other spiders is not really hair but "bristles" and has nothing to do with how a spider keeps warm. The "hair" on a spider is used for several reasons. The hairs on a spider sense vibrations and a spider can tell a lot about it's enviroment from what it senses in theses hairs. Some spiders, like many New World tarantulas can use some of their hairs for defense. These urticating hairs are itchy and when a predator comes to close they shoot these hairs to make the predator go away. So, back to your question, how do they keep warm? Well, spiders are cold-blooded (actually, their blood is called hemolymph and is different from reptiles, etc). Spiders are the same temperatures as their surroundings and different species are adapted for different surroundings. when they are cold they will move to a warmer spot and if they are cold they will move to a warmer spot. Some spiders lay their eggs in Fall and then die and their eggs hatch in Spring. Other spiders dig burrows deep in ground and stay there all winter. The spiders that live in your house live there because the temperature is comfortable to them. Some people find spiders in their house and put them outside. This is not really a good idea because house spiders are adapted to live inside and can't survive outside. But, it's good to have in your house because they eat all insects like roaches, etc. that might carry diseases.

FranNot all spiders build webs (in fact, nearly half do not!) but all spiders do use silk. Most wolf spiders do not build webs, but they use silk to wrap their egg cases and to leave draglines or safety lines. Some males can follow a female's dragline Not all spiders build webs (in fact, nearly half do not!) but all spiders do use silk.
