Wrong area to post this thread...maybe @Enn49 can move it.

 

[Arachnid Fun]

Move it where?

 

[Arachnoclown]

@Arachnid Fun you have to be more specific what area...California is huge.

 

[Arachnid Fun]

Grass valley

 

[Arachnoclown]

Looks to be a Calisoga longitarsus (Nemesiidae)
"False tarantula" unless someone has a better guess?

 

[Arachnid Fun]

I live in grass valley and I am keeping this spider but I looked up what to feed it and all it said was insects dose anyone have more information

Don't feed it wild caught insects, you don't know if they've been exposed to pesticides.

I am pretty sure you can feed her crickets...buy a few at a pet store. At least that is what I would do.

 

[Arachnid Fun]

Thanks I will buy some crickets

 

[menavodi]

[Arachnid Fun]
