I was wondering if anyone knows the life span of a Giant Carolina Wolf Spider? Last weekend I took some pictures of one and I really am considering getting one.

Besides being aggressive hunters, how defensive can they be?

How big can these wolf spider get?

I was on my way to releasing a male wolf spider i found in my bathroom, when i opened my door, i find this massive female. This is the biggest wolf spider I've ever seen, its leg span is about 3", maybe more.
