I'm hoping someone can tell me what kind of spider this is. It was found behind a dishwasher of a trailer. I believed it to be a fishing spider by comparing pictures, but seeing an article on fishing spiders, those pictures did not look the same. I have kept it as a pet and it is surviving on meal worms in a home-made terrarium. I can provide more pictures should anyone require them.

looks like a dark fishing spider (dolomedes tenebrosus). don’t take my word for it, since i can’t really tell any smaller details from the picture.
Thank you for your response. I’ve just looked at pictures of “dolomedes tenebrosus,” and they really do look very similar. I’m still not positive though because the spiders in the images seem more hairy than the spider I have. If you like, I can attempt to take a clearer image of whatever parts of the spider you need to see to be able to draw a better conclusion. Just tell me what that is, because I have no idea. lol
