Small Hobo

Small Hobo

So i live in the UK and found a hobo spider?

Its definately a hobo spider, it has the exact same pattern as one. I've managed to get it into a small, compact container. From what i know, it has atleaste 20 other children or atleaste smaller hobo spiders in the same room, will they find a way into the house? And what should i do with it?, i've read up on them, they're a major problem in America & Canada, and they seem to be very venomous, check out their bites on google images, not nice at all.

The room is outside in a very dark, damp room.

Sounds weird but i wanna keep it as a pet....

Hobo spiders (Tegenaria agrestis) are not proven to be dangerously venomous. And they're also tricky to identify, so it /is/ possible you just have a wolf spider or someone similar.

As long as you leave them alone and just check your clothes and shoes for them, you should be fine. I haven't read anything that lists them as a pest, or even aggressive. They were rather incorrectly named.

And if you don't want them in your house, you can catch them in a cup or lidded container and take them as far from your house as is comfortable for you. Spiders don't make very interesting pets.
