Alopecosa kochi. Is the species of wolf spider we have here and get up to like three inches either way does anyone know how to take care of these guys they're local so I figure I could probably catch one but I'm just curious cuz I don't know I think it would be an easy first I know that they are mildly venomous and they can give you up pretty gnarly bite that can make you sick for a while but if previous experience tells me anything well their bite is pretty painful it doesn't really result in anything for myself I don't have much of a reaction luckily but does anyone know like the type of substrate or whatever you would want to use with these guys or are they just not really good for having as pets or whatever I don't know I just think they're really cute and it is one of my favorite spiders after all
