Easy DIY Habitat for Huge Spider Intruder

Earlier this week, I found a Fishing Spider that snuck into my home. There's no telling how long it's been living here, but I didn't really want it free roaming... neither did my wife! She found him to begin with. I managed to capture it and decided to design a custom habitat for him since he insisted on living in my home.

EDIT: Unfortunately, I made an error in this video. What I thought was a Wolf Spider is actually a Fishing Spider, likely Dolomedes tenebrosus. I spent hours trying to get a proper ID as I scripted the video and even got other opinions. I believed it was Hogna aspersa, but I got it wrong. Thankfully, this is still an ideal habitat for this species, but I don’t like that I messed that up. Regardless, I'm still happy to have this spider around and am excited to share more in the future.

I managed to capture it and decided to design a custom habitat for him since he insisted on living in my home. Since Toby insisted on living inside, I figured I would allow him to continue doing so within a vivarium. I like how this turned out and have enjoyed him thus far. He also seems to like his new personal forest habitat. What do you think, and what would you have done if you found a spider like this in your home? Have a great weekend SerpaSquad! Also, I just wanted to give a heads-up that I will not be uploading next week because of various things I have going on. I’ll be back the following week with something incredible. See you then.

Remind me to get lost, cold and hungry in your home, especially as SerpaSquad, I would love my own bioactive terrarium 😂

Toby already looks brighter after a couple of good meals. Seems like this little guy is on his way to some fine, healthy living.

This is actually a fishing spider, not a wolf spider. Very similar looking but if you compare the eye positions for both you'll see at 10:24 that Toby's eyes are positioned like a happy face like a fishing spider, while wolf spiders eyes look like a frowny face, if that makes sense.

Bro, this is like kidnapping a person then giving them a mansion and all the care they need for the rest of their life.

Being a male spider, he likely won't live too long. If/when he passes, you should definitely get a female Hogsna David-Bowie huntsman spider or some kind of confirmed female tarantula that would enjoy the setup you built for even longer. Just a thought

Maybe a fire red millipede scape in the future... Could contrast amazingly with lush plants - a fine addition to the invertebrate area! Loving the recent videos! Keep up the amazing work!

OMG! The narration and filming at the beginning is so entertaining! “Cooking dinner”, was it chicken pot pie? Then, the discovery and capture of Toby… and finally such a happy ending! Thank you so much for your very interesting, inspirational, and enjoyable videos.

I saw some color morphs for wolf spiders that are completely amazing, great species and so inspirational! Love how you put in so much work and pay attention to every little detail to make the enclosures the best they can be! Thank you for keeping us entertained and inspired!!

A great way to tell wolf spiders apart is that they have these beautiful stripes running down their head and backs, often brown or black and heavily contrasted against the rest of them. Fishing spiders are typically more mottled in appearance with striped legs. And I doubt you'll ever see them outside of Australia, but a huntsman spider is all grey or brown with minimal markings. Oh, and it's flamethrower sized. Hope this helps!

I love your compassion for household "pests," they should not be punished for the crime of being small ❤

Out of all the things to do with a spider in the home, this is by far the coolest and most rewarding option. Any animal that spends the rest of its days in a serpadesign enclosure is a truly lucky creature, even if it gets misidentified by its new owner 😂. Although a male Dark Fishing Spider likely won’t have any interest in burrowing, it’ll definitely appreciate the semi-arboreal aspects of the enclosure.

I cant reccomend keeping a colony of Bess beetles around a nice stump of wood enough. They are so delightful to keep, very personable and sweet, easy to hold, and gorgeous to boot.

This is lovely and wholesome. You usually shouldn't release critters that find their way into human areas for too long as a lot of native populations of various species have suffered disease outbreaks from unwitting good samaritans so this was a truly excellent option. I do love the care given to one of our most underrated neighbors. Those running agile spiders have a crazy high powered processors and are very smart and attentive creatures. Thank you so much for giving him the best retirement home he could ask for! Thank you for all your good work as a responsible and empathetic shepherd. You are an excellent steward and representative of wholesome animal care! I hope you can continue to shape the next generation of animal caretakers and continue to guide people to a higher path of responsible, ethical and empathetic animal keeping.

I have arachnophobia but your vids bring me so much peace and joy that I will face my fears just for this vid.

Considering that most of your terrariums, paludariums and what not contain springtails, I would say that you have done a lot with invertebrates 😋

Have you ever made a terrarium filled entirely with flora and fauna that are native to your area? Its really fun, especially if you research them before putting them in. i love knowing some of the names of the things around me. makes it feel like home.
