Hello, I'm new to this website.
This little thing scared me when it appeared on the armrest of my couch running towards me very fast when I was watching tv in a dark room.
I've never kept spiders and I'm actually a little terrified but equally fascinated by them.
I'm wondering what species it is and weather I can try to keep it. From what I've gathered it's a spider that's active in the dark.
I put him/her in a glass jar on a paper towel with a piece of bark last night.
How would it's enclose need to be set up? I have one of those plastic insect enclosures laying around. What to feed it? How often should it be fed? I know nothing about spiders, so I'd appreciate any advice given to me.
By the way, a friend of mine said it could be of the Scotophaeus genus. Could that be right?
This is what I'm planning to put her/him in.
