So if this all goes well, should I sell them?? I'm so uncertain if the babies of this species are even desirable at all in this hobby. Would it be worth my time you think?
It is winter here, so I wouldn't release them in the wild.

Hogna caroliniensis is probably one of the most desirable wolfs there are, just due to its sheer size! If I had the money then, I would buy one.

Did you catch it or buy it? I hope to find some this summer in Alabama and Georgia.

I actually found it way out in the boonies on the outskirts of town. I was doing some local surveying on Aphonolema hentzi and noticed this HUGE turret with her sitting right by it. She's about 3". My wife found a MM walking around our house and caught it for me. She didn't know what it was, only a big spider. When I saw it I was like you have to be kidding me! A MM carolinensis!!

wolf spider babies are easy to care for. They're fierce little predators, alot easier than caring for tiny scorplings that get terrified of baby aphids! haha

Plus, they readily accept pre-killed prey!

I wish these would be common in Europe. Haven't seen one for sale but I'd love to get one.

There seems to be a TON of eggs in there. She is 3.5", the sac is the size of a nickel. Plump and looks to be fertile.
When I do sell them, it will more than likely be in lots of 10's or more, but I may make some exceptions

Do the slings make the turrets? Would you be interested in doing a trade for a few babies? (not 10, like maybe 3 lol)

Yes, definitely.
I would be more interested in trading VS selling these BTW.
