They said they're going through a hard time and that I should give them another week to get the rent.

Kill it.

Shhh, you can't plot murder so loudly

Looks like a female, judging by the pedipalps-I'd say wolf spider, but I've never seen them with legs that long before, still, she's really lovely-! *_*

Glad you like it, I've only seen a couple with legs that long, and they usually always appear around this time of the year. Funny things ^_^

Yeah, I've got a funnel weaver of my own as a pet-she looks very much like a wolf spider, so it's really hard to tell the difference unless they do something un-wolf spider-like

Nice stuff! I've never had a spider as a pet, are they a lot of work to take care of?

It all depends on the species you're taking care of; if it's a spider that makes webs/suspended webs such as an orb weaver or funnel weaver, then it's fairly easy to take care of and feed since they don't require food too often since they kind of just sit in one spot/space for long periods of time, so maybe once a week or 2? If it's something like a wolf spider or jumping spider, then they actually need to be fed a bit more often, like once every 2-3 days, then there are tarantulas, trapdoor spiders, etc. a fair bit of research to find out what makes each kind comfortable is usually the bet method to making sure your arachnid is happy and healthy

Ah righty, that's pretty interesting stuff, I didn't actually think that certain species could go without being fed for so long. Research is key with all pets I think, especially ones that have such specific needs as certain spider species do. I've always wondered about getting one as a pet, then I realised that I've got so many spiders living in my room that I probably already have a small zoo of them. X3

Yeah, it'd be much easier to keep a spider you found inside the house as a pet since they're already accustomed to the inside environment-setting inside spiders outside is actually very dangerous for them-just the slight nuances in temperature, humidity, etc from outside compared to inside can actually kill them-and it's vice-versa for spiders found outside as well

I didn't know that, that's certainly very interesting, didn't think they'd be quite so sensitive to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Although the more I think about it, the more I can see why, feeling sorry for the spiders I may have put outside in the past.

Yeah, I've pretty much stopped setting spiders outside whenever I encounter them in the house; my own laid eggs recently and all of her slings have more or less scattered to the winds inside our room and beyond

Think I'll be copying you in that sense, no more putting the poor creatures outside. Most of the ones I have living in my room at the moment are cellar spiders.

It's a type of ground spider, it might just be a subspecies of wolf spider (they change depending on location of the world).
Ironically, the arachnid family is so VAST and continuously evolving, biologists discover new species on a daily basis.
Either way, typically ground spiders do not have venomous bites. Aside from...Australia. Then you are boned.
Though, that is a different class of arachnids that are ground-dwelling who are venomous/Poisonous: Like the Goliath spider (Poisonous), the funnel web spider, and the violin spider.

Wolf spiders are odd, because there species changes. For personal examples, I lived all around northern united states wolf spiders all my life, they wher very fast forest dwelling spiders and if they saw you they darted across the room away and tried to flee.

HOWEVER.

I encountered a Southern united states wolf spider and they are MEAN and will attack unprovoked...

...spiders are just an interesting class of species. ^^;

That does sound very interesting, didn't realise there was such noticable behaviour differences within the same species. I've not known many wolf spiders to attack or bite at all, the species I tend to get bitten by the most is woodlouse spiders.

I do like that there is such variety with spiders! Makes them so fascinating, just watching them wander about or spin a web is hypnotic, although I find that watching most creepy-crawlies is pretty hypnotic.

What kind of spider is this? And is it dangerous?

Not entirely sure of the species, although it seems like it could be a wolf spider. Don't think it's all that dangerous really :D

Eratigena atrica

This spider is harmless. Like most spiders.

if not E. atrica certainly in the right genus.

Certainly looks like it, certainly a nice visitor to have in the room.
