Can you get a shot
of the belly of the spider? That helps ID Hogna sp. I'm thinking it might be Hogna carolinensis.

I think you're right
gut instinct says carolinensis.

the underbelly of the spider is black on its bottom, grey on the thorax and its got like a orangish patch around its fangs.

Lifespan.
Well my Carolina wolf is doing great so far. I was just curious if any of you experts could give me any pointers on how long they live, what tempertures/substrate they prefer. It seems to like crickets, is there anything elese reccomended? Any and all feedback welcome.
Thanks,
Chad Crosby
