[QUOTE="Cody-Myles, post: 123689, member: 27027"] Native to the UK and the biggest spider we have over here. As far as I've read they usually reach a max of 3" leg span. Males live 9-12 months and females can live up to 3 years. I caught her around August and she has moulted once since then. I don't see it's cruel to keep her in a tank because I provide her with a guaranteed food source, steady temperature and she has no predatory risks in captivity. She's doing perfectly well and lives in a large enough tank for her to build a substantial web and enough places she could pick as a hide to feel secure and protected. I know they also go by another scientific name but I'm not sure which one is the latest 'official' name but I've called her Atilla.
