I am very interested in keeping jumping spiders, but I'm having a hard time finding detailed information on caring for them. Specifically hatching eggs and rearing spiderlings.
There is a Phidippus audax with an eggsac near my house. I am very tempted to collect her and the sac and try to keep them. But I'm afraid of doing something wrong. And I'm sure the "right" thing to do would be leave them alone. But I badly want pet jumping spiders.
Can anyone point me towards some information on keeping jumping spiders. Like humidity, how often and how much to feed, caring for spiderlings and how much success people have had with wild eggsacs?
