    Jumping spider loves spiders?

    Yes, this is a reason about their great intelligence: they've to manage other "intelligent" predators as preys. But I'm sure that if you'll try with a more mobile prey, like a small cricket or a roach, it will interested as with the spiders. Cheers Ema

    thinking about getting a Macrothele calpeiana

    If I'll have time I'll post a picture, but you don't need anything else than a plastic containter, about 15x10 with 2 inches/5 cm of ground lightly moistened. It's all this spider need to live well. Ema

    Hi Missy, as I said you... you'll not need any heat mat... Simply, during winter it will eat less than during summer. It eat crickets and so on, catching very large preys thanks to its very powerful venom (take care, it's a quite dangerous venom...). Ema
