Wow you guys are good tyvm...Its winter soon so do you think it would be a good idea to catch her for the winter and let her go in spring? Also I have kept T's for 6 years but know little about spiders. Do they molt like T's and behqve in a sikilar way? Well Ive decided not to be lazy and to just google it lol thanks again I appreciate your help! Cheers

Yea you could keep it in captivity!

I'm no expert, but she looks gravid to me.

They molt as they grow but stop molting once they reach maturity. (This one looks like a gravid female, so she may make an egg sac but won't molt.) Their lifespan is 1-2 years.

Here is some additional information about them.
