Depends were you live I never see wolf spiders anymore here . And the larger variety only lives in the country. Easier to buy them online , for op personally with prices I’d get a tarantula too. If site sells both wolfs don’t live long . Last wolf I caught only lived a few months . Caught as adult .Any local wolf spider species should do the trick. If it's local you don't need to worry about temp and humidity as much which already makes it pretty easy to care for. Small water dish, plenty of cover, doesn't need as much sub as T's. Make sure the enclosure is big enough for your spider, wolfies like to wander around. 4-5 times their length should be good and width maybe 2-3.5 times their length, just as a general rule for wolf spiders. Making it too big will be fine, but it will make feeding and maintenance a bit more difficult. Good luck and keep us updated.
You could add some more raised plant cover if you wanted to really ball out on your new friend. Fake terrarium plants work great but whatever fits the budget.Here is the enclosure (I just went outside and caught a female rustic wolf).
Too much room is rarely an issue.I just got the new plants, and new setup.
Yeah I can’t find them here unless I dig in the garden and there too small to keep , they are hunting masters .in my experience wolf spiders are good at grabbing prey before you get a chance to see the takedown lol
Congrats and best wishes to you both.I forgot to ad that her name is August.
