White wolf spider

[Ricky seung]

Has anyone ever bred wolf spiders in captivity? I have a few white wolf spiders. (Arctosa litorallis?) I would like to try and breed them if anyone has please let me know

I haven’t bred Arctosa, but I have a bit of experience with Tigrosa, Geolycosa, and Hogna. Strategy is pretty similar. Make sure females are well fed and have an established burrow or hide. If they’re stressed, they seem less responsive to males and may be more defensive. After mating, leave the mom alone as much as possible. The nice thing about wolves is that the mom does much of the work at first, as slings remain on her back for several days. In my opinion, Lycosids are one of the easier true spiders to breed. Good luck!

Pretty standard like most Ts, although make in my experience it was best to keep the female in a large enclosure. Whenever I kept her in a smaller setup(16 oz deli for tigrosa), she'd lunge at everything.
