It's the second one I've kept, the first I found in my basement, but what I was wondering was has anyone else ever kept one of these spiders? I think they are super cool with the big skull on their butt and very cool for a pet spider, not to mention free and relatively common. I know people like jumping spiders which are also super common and can be found in the back yard as well. How have these creatures not caught on more yet. If anyone out there does have one in their collection, what does your enclosure and spider look like. My first one was a mature female and my new one is just a sling, although after having her just one day she already molted so that's pretty cool. Maybe I'm just crazy but I find these spiders to be fascinating and amazing to look at, just didn't know if I was the only one out there. Thanks guys!</p></blockquote><p></p>
