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.


Thanks in advance

Besides being aggressive hunters, how defensive can they be?
the hogna i had... VERY defensive!!:evil: great threat display and everything! she was a real monster, evil. i'm sure if looks and threat displays could kill, i'd be a dead man;P

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.

I have also heard they live up to 3 years in captivity.
