Lol, I think you guys will like this.
It's not Dolomedes tenebrosus, or scriptus...and I don't really think it's a Dolomedes either..
Male!
Found in southern Croatia, at Plocice! (this is Europe..for those none europe people)

Well, thanks to the people in the chat last night, I think we could safely narrow it down to Tegenaria.
Possibly Tegenaria ferruginea.?
Tegenaria atrica was mentioned too..but it looks a little too different in color.. and pattern.
More of the giant house spider look.. lol, but pretty. Also people around croatia claimed the bite to hurt a lot, and be toxic to some extent.










Anyways, try your best I guess, no positive ID can really be taken from a picture, but an idea of what they might be can.

Great pics. It certainly looks like a Malthonica (Tegenaria) ferruginea when compared to other images at least.

hi,
it is an Agelenidae. But it is NOT Malthonica ferruginea. I´ve caught and kept M. ferruginea several times and in different instars, they never looked like that.

Spider Resistance :
You will be surprised to know that Spider can survive for a long period of time without having any type of food good.A spider can survive for more than one year and it is very rare in all others species that they could survive for a long period of time
without having food.
