Giant Wolf Spider, The Best Pet Invertebrate?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- Wolf spiders are incredible arachnids, and many of the genus Hogna are bigger than some tarantulas. Not only are they big, but they are active, visual predators. So, are these giant wolf spiders good pets? Is the giant Hogna wolf spider the best pet invertebrate for you?

Great success! You have made me aware of yet another crazy interesting animal AND helped me determine that it's not the right pet spider for me. My little Bold Jumping spider Uhtred son of Uhtred is a lovely little pet and fills that little spidey shaped void in my life just fine.
Mission accomplished!
i've kept ones bigger than the one clint here has on display. See, i live in Florida where basically all insects are twice as big as they are anywhere else, and i have caught and kept wolf spiders with like, 6-8 inch legspans which is CRAZY big as far as these guys go. i can safely say that they really arent all that fun to keep, they are actually hella aggressive as if you try to feed them using like tweezers like you might do with a tarantula they'll actually lunge at your hand instead and they are actually escape artists from the two or 3 specimens i've kept. they dont really live any longer than 4 months, but that's probably because the ones i've always caught in my house and decided to keep where really old and grouchy individuals and i dont really have any way of controlling the humidity.
Sergeant So N' So it’s probably because yours is wild caught
I love that you have an Untred son of Uhtred spider. I think I need to up my name game.
@@sergeantsonso3490 I can't speak for Florida wolf spiders but the ones I have kept learned me after regular interaction. The Schizocosa I had last year was to the point that if I put my finger in front of him he would climb on my hand and and just kind of relax on my hand, I guess enjoying the warmth. The direction you approach them makes difference as well.
I am noticing a distinct lack of wolf in this spider. 0/10
That is the tragic fate of the first animal in the name of any create with two animals names. Cat fish, dog sharks, whale sharks, dragon fish, scorpion flies, and many others hear you loud and clear.
@@ClintsReptiles At least scorpion flies somewhat resemble scorpions. Although I was disappointed that the flies don't kill there pray with there tails.
Usually grey or brown, hairy, active hunters whose eyes reflect light at night - seems pretty wolfy to me. I suppose they're not pack hunters, but you can't have everything.
I've always heard they're called wolf spiders because of their coloration, speed and ruthless aggression to actively seek out and consume their prey.
i think they name them that based on their personality. even catfish for example. their personalities kind of match a cat's.
He's just so stinkin' hard-core enthusiastic.
It comes off as a bit forced and cringe to be honest. Don't get me wrong i like the guy and find his videos interesting but jeez acting super excited and over enthusiastic won't make me find your videos any better, maybe actually less...

It was rough when Harry and Ron had to get out of the forest.
Why did we have to follow the spiders
@@ilovenycsomuch Aragog based on one of those
We had a "pet" one growing up. Every single night at 8pm, it ran from under the couch in the living room, all the way across our dining room (a good ten feet), where he hung out under our sideboard until we turned out the lights and went to bed, at which point I'm sure he/she hunted without fear or mercy! Set your watch by that critter. Half hour after spider, upstairs to bed.
It's crazy how well they have a perception of time
I once had one of their smaller cousins, a Tigrosa helluo in my bathroom. It was the first wolf spider I ever saw (plenty of grass before, but no wolf). She was amazing at staying clear of capture for days, but I eventually caught her and was fascinated at the largest spider I'd ever found in my house. I set her up in a tank and named her Lupa.
I really wanted to see if she could learn. Twice a day I made an effort to get her used to my hand. She did! Eventually I could take her out, in my hand, with little trouble. About a month later, in December, she was burrowing, and right up against the glass side! That was neat to watch her engineering skill, using web to reinforce the chunks of husk she would push up to make a ceiling.
Then one day I found her tending to an egg sac in there. Then in January I had over a hundred of them! They initially ride on mom's back, but I stretched an extra large pantyhose over the lid to secure them since they could climb the glass when they strayed.
Once they were all off, I left the tank outside with the lid leaning inside so they could climb out. I actually saw some stand on the top ledge, shoot a web out, and went sailing off into the wind. Mom never left. I continued to handle her regularly, from hand to hand like a hamster. One day she came to my hand extra easy and climbed on. Minutes later, she started curling up and passed.
It was a pretty incredible experience. I've found several juveniles in my yard since then.
I don't like the look of these spiders at ALL, but I love your story! ❤️🕷️
cool story man!
Great story!!
Wow. I can imagine the heartbreak you must have felt.
How wonderful to bond like that with your spider
I have a wild a caught tigrosa georgicola. She does not like to be handled, but I'll admit I've never really worked with her. She has at least gotten used to me and no longer hides every time I walk into the room. She accepts me and my children giving her water and crickets. She was gravid when I caught her and produced three egg sacs! Like you, I took the cage outside when the time came and released the babies back into the wild, but from each egg sac there were one or two that wouldn't go. Two of those have survived to young adulthood and are living in their own enclosures. It's been a wonderful journey. I'm trying to prepare my daughters for the fact that Charlotte (the mother) may not live much longer. She is unusually large for her species, so I suspect she's pushing 2 years old, which is about as long as they can live.
I got my crested gecko today. His name is clint
He must be rad! 😉
Just gave him some crickets. Still in his hide though.

Nice, I think I might've seen a picture of him or something
Fun fact: Wolf spiders were the original tarantulas. The name comes from a city in southern Italy (Taranto) where Lycosia tarantula, a big wolf spider, is very common. So large spiders became known as "Tarantulas" in Europe. So when the first europeans arrived in the new world they applied this name to the large spiders found there, not knowing that those spiders weren't closely related to wolf spiders. Mainly because the only members of Theraphosidae (the clade spiders nowadays known as "tarantulas") native to europe were small and unassuming
Wrong but ok nerd
@@kanekochera57 proof?
Everyone outside native english speakers knows this :)
@@kanekochera57 They are correct, wolf spiders are the original tarantula. They were called this by citizens in an Italian town called Tarranto because of a disease that caused 'tarantism' that was thought to be given through the bite of a species of wolf spider called Lycosa tarantula. To get rid of the disease, they had to do a dance to sweat it out, which btw the dance is called 'tarantella'. When Europeans came to the Americas, the name tarantula just stuck with Theraphosidae.
@@kanekochera57 She's not wrong at all - that's 100% correct. Also, calling people "nerds" in the comments section of a channel about exotic animals demonstrates you're either a bully\troll or just very, very stupid. Or all those things rolled into one turd in the vague shape of a human being.
I challenged my arachnophobia by keeping these guys, it forced me to learn about them. Started to see spiders in a new light and it helped me overcome my irrational fear of them. They’re not what they’re portrayed to be, much like other living things.
That’s cool, but if you think about from an evolutionary standpoint, humans had much to legitimately fear of spiders throughout our development. So, your fear of spiders isn’t exactly irrational. Which I guess means there’s no such thing as “arachnophobia.” Huh.
It looks so terrifying. And I say that as someone who keeps tarantulas
Terrifyingly cute!
I think they're adorable
I do not have any problems, as long as it is thick and looks fluff. Thin legs freak me out like hell man. Just talking about spiders thou 😎😂.
Terrifying? ... You haven't met *my mother in law*

@@dogzer "I hate my wife. Bazinga!" *laugh track*
Why are spiders so fascinating yet SO HO HORRENDOUSLY TERRIFYING.
Gorgeous too - just terrifying.
Everything about spiders is demonic. They trap others in their web & tie them up & inject them with venom to paralyze them & (for adrenochrome) and eat them alive.
Because you’re a coward and a fool.
Evolution
There's no such thing as horrifying spiders, just horrified people :D
There's a psychology about fear of spiders. Basically the further away something is from ourselves, the scarier it is. So for spiders, 8 legs 8 eyes as opposed to our 2 and 2
Native Texan here, I've been camping many places with my grandparents and sometimes you can literally shine your flashlight out at night to a sea of curious little wolf spider eyes. Never thought of keeping them as pets, so I found this very interesting
Yeah that....that is horrifying.
I'm so glad I live where the most venomous animal won't even kill you unless you're allergic. I'd rather keep fighting the mosquitoes than have an army of wolf spiders creep up when I'm sleeping.
You smell bad.
@@Ironpine27 I'm starting to understand why there are so many world wars that start in Europe.....it's because everyone wants to live in a place without these scary ass nightmares
Rabid Wolf Spiders. Despite the name, they're quite friendly. Well in my experience they are.
I've wanted to know if it was possible to raise one because the wolf spider in my room is my friend.

It all started with a jumping spider. I watched your video about jumpers. When I found one in my window, I gave it a temporary enclosure, ordered a nice one of etsy. That's where it started. Now I have two jumpers, a wolf spider and a Costa Rican zebra tarantula (striped knee).
I love them all.
The food dropped in, I blinked, and the spider teleported to the food. That’s all I needed to know.
Daddy long legs - the most in the world of all daddy's named from their long legs
100% correct.
@@ClintsReptiles although what y'all call cellar spiders, we call daddy long legs here at the bottom of the Pacific. So in the world, and spiders, but still not all that venemous
These guys make great pets! I had one that I kept on my coffee table. People either loved him or were totally creeped out. Cornelius the Hogna wolf spider loved to stare at my husband, which made him very uncomfortable. I highly recommend them! Great video Clint! :)
Ik this comment was from a year ago but I just wanted to add to the coffee table spiders 😁 I have two bold jumpers I keep as a "centerpiece" of sorts on my coffee table and people will usually spend at least a few minutes trying to locate them when they visit! They are definitely great little spider ambassadors as even people who are initially hesitant tend to come around :)
I will be perfectly honest, I will likely never own any of the pets that he talks about, but his sheer enthusiasm makes me interested enough to want to learn about each creature he talks about. Someone give this guy a full TV series.
Me: *has severe arachnophobia*
Also me: *watches (probably more listens, I can't bare to look) this video*

I’ll never forget finding a female one summer crawling around with her babies on her back. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen...
I have seen some massive wolf spiders, usually the big ones I see are just really stocky and fat, and were hiding in the basement. However, the biggest I have ever seen was out in the wilds of Wisconsin, I pulled a log over looking for worms and it was right underneath it, it didn't even react. It was by far the most fascinating spider I ever saw in the wild, so cool I actually convinced family members to follow me into the woods to look at it.
It was easily the largest spider I have seen in person, and had strong, long legs similar to your spider instead of the shorter legs typical of wolf spiders that I know more about. It was very furry and was mostly grey with occasional brown spots, and had an egg sack underneath it. Still have not been able to ID it. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to refer to.
EDIT: did some more research, it could have been a fishing spider which makes sense, a lake was a short walk away from the spot where I found the spider, however it had a distinct egg sack attached to its spinnerets, which fishing spiders don't do, at least according to my limited research.
EDIT 2: found a picture that looks the closest to what I remember, it is in this article www.mtlblog.com/news/this-is-the-biggest-spider-that-actually-exists-in-quebec
Yep, couldn't even do it. Keep having flashbacks to when one these greeted me as I got out the shower. Gives me the willies heavy. Still gotta drop a like and comments just Clint is the Man
It just wanted to say hi.
OH MY GOSH SAME! I was trying to relax in the tub and one landed on my leg. All I saw was brown body and long legs and immediately though it was a brown recluse. It ended up drowning. And once it was dead I was able to look at it and I felt bad once I identified what it was.
If your in the us umm no it isn’t a brown recluse
@@radiationzack1012 I'm in south texas. They are found where I am.
Spoiled Splenden they are here in Arizona too, not the “brown” one but a very similar species of recluse.
There should be a 'Stinking rad' counter! Lol

College drinking game?... 😂
One of my clearest memories from childhood: there were a couple wolf spiders on the wall of the family bathroom. I scooped them up and put them on an oak tree in the backyard, one on each arm. I have loved spiders ever since!
For a time, when I was young, we lived in a house with a lot of cracks to the outside. We had a lot of frogs make their way into our house, and a good number of "Texas wolf spiders". I even saw a few with their babies on their back. Never let my dad squash them, got pretty creative trying to get them outside.
Oh god imagine turning on a flashlight outside and seeing hundreds of little lights appear
Or...INSIDE. UNDER THE BED.
is that why they did it with the spider in minecraft?
@@perplexedcats7687 Oh no. Nuke the house
you can actually do that. go outside at night and walk around your lawn with a flashlight held against the side of your head straight ahead, you can see the light reflecting off of the tiny eyes of all the spiders living in the grass.
We see those little eyes light up all over our lawn in the summer. So much so that it looks like it just rained when you shine a flashlight on the grass.
Just came here to support. Not a fan of arachnids and insects as pets.
That means a lot!
Same lol
Pretty much
I LOVE pet beetles, as well as crustaceans... but arachnids? No thank you lol
im listening and not really watching to this video because i do have arachnophobia hahaha
I grew up in Kansas, and as a child my bedroom was in our basement. We used to have lots of wolf spiders in our home. I think they were striped wolf spiders?? Some of them got rather big (quarter sized, or even close to half dollar sized including their legs). It was always quite intimidating how quickly they could cross the floor... or how quickly they could appear and then disappear again, leaving 7 year old me feeling a bit uneasy.
I have one! She is beautiful. I found some of this useful for improving her living conditions. Thanks, mate!
I’ve seen plenty of animal showcases over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone as genuinely enthusiastic and excited to be talking about them as you and I live for it
I just love how absolutely still spiders stay when nothing is bothering them. It's like they're frozen in place. So cool! ❤
Gotta conserve dat energy when food is uncertain!

I like this guy, he always seems so excited to show off the animals that he gets to work with and I learn a lot about them while he does that.
I love the fact that you’re doing inverts too! The hobbies overlap, and there’s only so many reptiles in the hobby. I would love more amphibian or turtle videos though, or a video on quince monitors!
That moment when you have been watching this TH-cam channel for almost a year and you just now realize he lives in Utah 20 minutes away. I want to see your reptile room @Clint!
I had a wolf spider (I think) crawl up through my vent in my living room. It was one of the most terrifying things that's ever happened to me. I was legitimately paralyzed in fear. The way it's spindley legs pulled itself through a tight space looked so unnatural.
I hope you smashed it to bits with a broom
I used to have wolf spiders as porch pets. They were very easy to care for. Other than constructing a home (couple of bricks stacked in a way to leave small hiding places) they did not require any care. I remember the first time seeing a turquoise egg sac, eventually mama would look fluffy with precious babies riding on her back. Needless to say, no nasty bugs ever got in the house through the front door. Thank you Clint, every time you said 'hardcore' we had to take a drink.
they are so cute! and terrifiying at the same time.... i love his face especially the eyes

When I worked at this restaurant, we had a LOT of wolf spiders come in for a visit! I’d catch & released them. I’d gently talk to them, calm them down and make sure they knew they were safe.
Man your videos always put me in such a good mood. Your passion for critters bleeds through to your performance. Amazing channel always recommending to friends who want to get into the hobby!
As someone who started keeping tarantulas to conquer my arachnophobia, true spiders scare the crap out of me still. But wolf spiders are just so STUNNING!
Shining a light on a road in the everglades I caught the eye shine of the biggest wolf spider I've ever seen. The body alone was the size of a quarter with the legs extending to a silver dollars circumference. I approached and it mock charged me. Then I grabbed a little bamboo like sliver and poked at it. The fangs came out and rasped against it. Gave me the chills.

The spider videos are helping me become more comfortable with spiders I encounter in my life. While I don't foresee ever keeping one as a pet, my fear is strongly dissipated. Thanks for the stinking rad content!
If you live in the US all you have to worry about are Black Widows and Brown Recluses.
When i was a kid i even played around with a black widow once (i was a dumb kid). And they, like most spiders are rather docile to animals that are larger than them. Most spiders dont bite unless your a) prey b) trapped/pressed down on their bodies and stopped them from moving.
Hey Clint, I know you made a video about the praying mantis already, but could you please consider making a video specifically about the Orchid Mantis, or maybe other difficult species like the devil's flower mantis? Recently, probably due to animal crossing and tiktok, they absolutely exploded in popularity and many inexperienced people are making impulsive purchases. Orchids are slightly more demanding pets that other mantids and I think they do not make for a good beginner pet, at least not without some good research. I'm a part of a few mantis keeping groups and we get 2-3 posts a day of people asking where they can buy an orchid mantis from, and some only ask for care advice AFTER they bough it. It's quite worrying to say the least.
This! I still don’t think I’m ready for an orchid mantis I can’t imagine if I had started with one! I went for ghosts as my first few!
A Devils’ Flower Mantis is certainly, not a beginner insect. They are gorgeous though.
As someone with acute arachnophobia, I'm proud that I made it through this video
When I was 11 I picked one up and just handling it was enough for my mom to scream and threaten to call the hospital because she was convinced I was gonna get bit. I just loved it
I remember me and my cousin once opened our window outside.. we live in south Florida right across the Everglades. Lots of wildlife. As soon as we opened the window a giant wolf spider jumped inside the window. All I remember is a flash of legs coming at us, hitting the ground, scuttling up my cousins bed, and then behind it. We looked for hours. Never found it. Traumatizing moment lol
On the bright side, if you ever had any roach problems.....now you don't!
Anamal exists.
Clint: the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
I have wolf spiders invading my house constantly and I remove at least one a week, but usually a lot more because my yard is full of them. The last one I caught in the lounge room a couple of days ago looked like an 8 legged mouse it was so fat. Scary fast on carpet, but once they hit polished wood flooring they just skitter slowly along without any traction, allowing me to sweep them into a pan and take them back outside where they belong.
Edit: Im in country NSW Australia
These guys just have the cutest faces. I don't know why, but they look so polite.
@Creepy Crust they look like they would wear a top hat and say 'terribly sorry, do pardon me'
You are weirdly wholesome. First I found you unsettling but slowly you have won me over with your passion for these creatures. Consider me a subscriber.
Fairly scary looking, but at least it's not a spider wolf... That would be much worse!
CORRECTION: daddy long legs that you are talking about in the video are actually called harvestmen. And you're correct in that they aren't spiders, but daddy long legs is ALSO the nickname of an ACTUAL SPIDER, known as the Cellar Spider.
I call them attic weavers
Daddy longlegs may refer to:
a) Cellar spiders (pholcidae)
b) Harvestmen (ophiliones)
c) Crane flies (Tipulidae)
d) A plant from Western Australia (Stylidium divaricatum)

I found one of these in my kitchen one night (central TX). It was waaaaaaaay bigger and more unique looking than the regular wolf spiders I usually find around here. We ended up catching and releasing it in the backyard. I didn't know specifically what type it was until stumbling across this video. So awesome, thank you!
Awesome video, still not sure how I feel about big spiders but I'm slowly coming around :)
There is a place for having a cautious respect and still loving the heck out of something :)
They are amazing critters. Been a tarantula keeper since I was a kid.
Jumping spiders are cute and small!!
There are smaller wolf spider speices
I remember when someone taught me to spot spiders by their eyeshine in Borneo. Let me just say there are a LOT of massive spiders in the jungle 😂
@Jerry Smith Go to the lake... out on the rock peer... as it gets dark. They love rocks. And those creepy nightmare critters come crawling out all over until you will want to run and scream !!! They are big too.
@Jerry Smith We were walking our dogs. Suddenly hundreds of giant spiders appeared. I couldn't get off that dock fast enough !!! Never went back either. People may fish there... but I know what is under all those rocks.
Note to self, Borneo is not the place to go.
the most terrifying thing about spiders is how they stare. that's the main reason i fear them, apart from generally being fast and the ones we have around where i live are tiny and vicious. the jumping spider that occupies one of my windows will sit on the ledge and stare down whoever wants to pass unless the feel threatened enough to leave, then she goes back to doing whatever.
Really informative. Fantastic visuals. Thanks for the info
I absolutely love and appreciate wolf spiders, even though my girlfriend hates all spiders, she has me take them outside. Apparently it's much more masculine to pick one up and take them out of the house, than it is to kill one lol
