isn't she just gorgeous? i found her outside and because of where i live i know she wouldn't last long outside, so i've decided to keep her. about two and a half inch legspan, definitely the biggest spider i've ever seen in the area. my family has lived here for ages and no one has ever seen one (Olios giganteus, giant crab spider). she hasn't molted yet but she's been eating well so i have high hopes!!
i know huntsmen are generally found in more tropical areas, but i've heard about this species in arizona and other dry areas. i'm in central california, the central valley so it's very hot and very very dry here. i've read conflicting information about humidity for these guys, should i be misting the terrarium?
also, she's pretty damn fast! the first time i saw her eat it was incredible. her name is arachmaninoff, ara for short (arachnid + rachmaninoff because i'm also a classical music nerd)
