super -easy care. your set up sounds good. mine just hide in their TP roll and come out to chomp down crickets. good luck, they are badass when full grown.

Bad lighting, but here's a ventral shot. Looks like a H. coloradensis meets H. caro, but on steroids.

i'll try and get a better pic. on ken the bug guy's site he has a great dorsal shot. thankfully, i received mine as an adult. wolf spiders grow pretty fast. you should have full adults within a year i would imagine.
