Message: <blockquote data-quote="PercyTheJumpingSpider" data-source="post: 195635" data-attributes="member: 37315">Hi yall,I'm new here! I have always wanted a jumping spider, and have been looking for one for 3 months. I almost gave up, but before yesterday, I found a male bold/daring jumping spider in the house! I was thrilled! I named him Percy! He is currently in a 10g bin with some sticks and coca soil, but I would like to transfer to something smaller. I was wondering If I could keep him in a Kritter Keeper of about 5g (if so, add a link to a good one $10-20pref. I want something small because  I intend of catching more of these. So for my care... Every day, I mist a side of his cage. Every 2-3 days I catch him a fly, carefully trim its wings (just trim them, not pull them out, so it can't fly away) and he happily eats it. Every 1-2 weeks, he will get a baby cricket. Every day, I also let him hop on my table for a bit.  Also, Is there any way I can make him less scared of me? I really want to breed jumping spiders someday! TYSM!</blockquote>
