Ok, so ppl I work with are bringing me all kinds of little spiders, I generally just let them go, but these two are very pretty, and so they are keepers. One looks like what most of us call wolf spiders, though it looks different to me from the ones I see most often. The other is a jumper, and is so pretty. It was very entertaining to photograph.

Housing should be a large deli or KK for the wolf to explore the place. Should have moist substrate with bark with some rocks and then add some sheet grass. Those wolfs, I usually find them running across dead grass and weeds. So, just kinda make the habitat look like where you found it.

I snatched up a P audax like yours a few weeks ago. I've been keeping it like a little avic minus the moist substrate and it seems to be thriving. I should let the little guy go though as it's MM. He's fascinating to watch, the hunting behavior is nothing like a tarantula. He actually stalks his prey!
