This is my wolf spider snatching up a fly...

I got him a month ago, just found him around somewhere

i decided to keep him.

Now he's doing great!

killing flies and all, he's really fast.

i really haven't got a clue what spieces he is but i don't care.

his house is full of this web stuff and empty-sucked flies XD

lycos 4 life!

Great vid! That spider isn't camera shy!

I'm still learning to make videos (with enough light, etc.), but I've made a few this year:

Why does he have a mantis skin in there?

Idolomantis,

I know people can hold tarantulas, but can, or do, you hold spiders like this? Do people hold or handle their pet spiders much, or just observe them in their habitat? Just wondering...

PS... Was this also a cricket habitat at one point? Lol (the toilet paper tube)

Katnapper:

i'm keeping him to observe,this is a observe tank to see if he's ok..

i'm busy making his real enclosure which simulates a more natural habitat.

I can't handle him, he's way to fast. People do handle tarantula's tho.
