ive just recently recieved a hobo spider from one of my co-workers who found it in her house. its turned out to be an extremly interesting captive.

however their's some information i keep finding online that seems incorrect. for example im trying to sex it but the information most websites give, are the size differences between sexes and even those have to be wrong. most websites say a female is around .6" and a male is around .4" my hobo is around 1-1.5".

any one know a better way to sex the spider? also i was curious on the lifespan of each sex? (please tell me the lifespan is 5 years, i love this lil bugger)

thanks for any info.
