[zueskiee]

Check this out..anyone on here able to answer these wolf spider questions, please..


I'm from the uk, i'm interested in wolf spiders and would like to own one for myself, i was hopeing it could be the largest availabe..

I've heard they only grow up to 4 inches, but by these photos and videos you can see they look well larger than 4''

Anyway, thanks for your response

hey,
I found an average sized wolf spider not long ago, a Trochosa sp. About 15mm in body length, and it's in pre-moult. You could try looking for one, since this October is gonna be really warm almost all the way through. They'll accept mini-mealworms and crickets.

And if you can't be bothered looking for one of these wolfies, then you can buy H. carolinensis here:

yep, about 4". my MM was about 3-3.5" and my MF was much stockier, but about the same legspan, maybe only 3" max.

Lycosa Tarantulas

Check these pics out, Lycosa Tarantuals look well bigger, what do you people think, or is it down to camera angles and magnification!

Got a picture? Would love to see it.

Unfortunately it's in a little moulting hide now, so I can't get a picture of it. However, here's a picture of one identical to mine.
