Okefenokee Giant Fishing Spider (Dolomedes okefinokensis) - 1-1.2" body, 3"+ leg span (Adult WC)

The biggest fishing spider in North America, and it walks on water Dolomedes okefinokensis, the Okefenokee Giant Fishing Spider, is the largest Dolomedes species on the continent: females carry a body over an inch long with a leg span past 3 inches. It hunts by reading the water, sensing ripples from the edge of a still pool, then striding straight out onto the surface to snatch prey. Watching one walk on water is the whole show, and it is as dramatic as spider keeping gets. Bites are rare and not medically significant to most people, but the size and speed make this one of the most striking display animals we carry, and one of the easiest to get right. It is a Spice 2, beginner-friendly keeper with one real requirement: a genuine water feature, not just a dish, so it can actually do what it does best. Give it real water and room, and it performs every time. The care guide has the build and the boundaries.
