[QUOTE="Alyssa Martin, post: 141045, member: 28256"] New owner of a jumping spider here! So I've got a couple or questions for anyone willing to answer them. His (unknown gender just going with he for now) cage setup at present is a 1/4 inch layer of coco fiber, and two cut down exo terra plants for coverage and climbing. He is in a tall container which I'm guessing from our other jars is about a 36 oz jar. His dirt is dry, but I sprayed a small side of the cage for his water, since I've read this is ideal for this species. He's pretty tiny right now, I'm guessing a juvi. I found him in one of our windows and fed him in a catch cup to insure he ate. He struck rather quickly so I'll assume he was hungry. So I figure I'll keep him unless be shows signs of illness from captivity. So here's my questions. I've heard that they need about a 12" 12" 12" container ideally and was wondering if this is true? I'd like to go with an Exo Terra tank so here are the size options, prices aside. 12" 12" 12" 12" 12" 18" Do they tend to stay inside Exo Terras? Is there anywhere I will need to tiny spider proof? Or is a plastic/glass container better? What is the humidity requirements for these guys? What is the temperature range? I'm assuming temperature is fine since he was in my home. Anything else I need to know? [/QUOTE]
