spider!

[cam]

Hey i found this spider(wolf spider?) while cleaning the pool. it was floating ontop of the water. i put it in a little container and thought why not keep it for a while. So anyway Its about 2cm in length(?) and ive put it in a 15cmx12cm tupperware container. ive got some sand in there and am going to feed him crickets. anything else i need for him? should i make the sand deeper?

Mate, your parents must really find your interest annoying......

I hope you are going to feed it to a lizard? Sorry I don't like spiders, Frogs will eat them too though, and most birds would take care of them! But keep a moist cottonwool ball in with it for any additional moisture it needs, any insects will sustain the beast.

Spiders cant "drink" they get all fluids from their prey.

thats a wolfie, not hard to keep, dont need much moisture, they will get enough from insects, shallow sand dont bother them

Thats what my first thought was too:lol: :lol:

Put it in a 4 litre paint tin with an insect bomb and put the lid on then walk away, or you could put the paint tin onto a fire if your game enough

Its a wolf spider, it'll eat any animal small enough including other wolf spiders. The moisture from the insects you feed it should be enough but to be on the safe side put a wet cottonball in there with it, I found a wolf spider trapped in a plastic container I had left outside once, it seemed on the edge of dying but I put a wet cotton ball in there and it attached itself to this and seemed to get its energy back. They are interesting to watch and an essential little tool in the control of pesky insects like cockroaches.
