I got my first T. (A juvenile B. Albo) recently, and I think she/he is just great, but once my mom figured out how long they could live if it is a female (I'm waiting for it to molt to find out, still), she decided I could not get any more T.s. So, I thought I'd look around and see what kind of spiders I could catch and make a pet, I thought about orb spiders and giant house spiders, and some others, but I decided against those. What did seem like a reasonable option, though, was a steatoda grossa, they seem to have shorter lifespans and be pretty easy to care for from what I've searched on here so far, but I'd like to verify some things.
From what I've read, the following are true:
They live 2-3 years
They can live in deli cups (if so what size, ounces, diameter, hieght?)
They can eat crickets (if so, what size and how often)
If they bite, it is sort of like a wasp sting, hurts a bit, ices a bit, goes away after a few days, no biggie.
I'd also like to make sure it'd be okay to just find a wild one and put it in an enclosure.
I live in oregon, so if you have any other ideas on spiders (or other critters) I could find somewhat easily, that'd be great.
If all the above is true, I believe I found one today, so I'd like to have it double checked in terms of identification.
Thank you
