So i caught this spider in the house a few days ago. My family would certainly have killed it if they saw it first. Im considering keeping it provided i can give proper care and housing. If not then back to the wild in my garden it is.
Does anyone have any experience with keeping them? I currently have it in a round 10in or so diameter critter keeper with a simple hide, bowl, fake leaves and soil. It has eaten several crickets and seems to be enjoying the hide after discovering it recently. Very fast and jumps crazy high.
First 2 pics in current enclosure.
.
Pics below of just after capture. Little blurry sorry.
If anyone has any options on gender, enclosure size, soil depth, or just in general id love to hear. When researching myself i mostly came across general care for wolf spiders as a whole or the giant wolf spider and not this one specifically. Just thought getting other opinions would benefit the spiders care.
Any recommendations on garden store soil brands safe for spiders and Ts?
