[QUOTE="SikmT7, post: 161956, member: 10145"] Never had a jumping spider, but I do love to find them outside and pick them up, they are so cool! There are many out there that have jumping spiders as pets, they are quite intriguing. I own an A. seemani (sub adult female), got her from a pet shop over 3 years ago, wonderful T, they are quite skittish (at times). When my seemani hears my footsteps, she scampers straight to her hide and then there will be times when she will calmly walk right up to me and even let me pet her. The thing about pet shops is a majority of the time, they have little to no knowledge about tarantulas and even have a tendency of neglecting them. My seemani was seriously stressed at the pet shop she was at, it took her several months to calm down once I got her home. Pet shops are the worst when it comes to tarantulas, I would say go and rescue that seemani from there, it will be much happier :). Females can live up to 15-20 years and males 5 years, if cared for properly. They are great eaters, have lots of personality, and as [USER=4548]@PanzoN88[/USER] said, damp substrate for them, overflowed water dish, and deep substrate. Avicularia avicularia are sweethearts but they are rather quick and jumpy, and yes, they will readily poop on you.
