jumping spiders together

[darksidemxer]

so i have alot of those black and whige "happy face" jumping spiders are here and my brother wants to imitate my t. collection by having a few. can they live together or will they be territorial?

Don't put them together.

To the best of my knowledge, they are not a communal species. I'm sure others will chime in.

I have & do occassionaly still run jumping spider communal projects, Fors the most part the spiders *WILL* predate each other, however. with enough space you can lower this occurance and watch some very dynamic interaction displays and territorial disputes, so again, it can be done, but losses will occur ( I usualy housed 4 in one 2l pespi bottle)

Include lots of private hides, lots of obsticles to reduce line of sight between the spiders, and try at least to keep similiar sized spiders/species, and you should see minimal cannabilism.
