Jumpers seem to be really taking off now. I think more and more true spiders will become more popular too.
It is a pity that jumpers are apparently "out". It is not easy to find some.

I've noticed them up for sale a lot more this year.
I got the impression in the last months, that in UK are more not so common species available as in the rest of Europe. I found only one offer for jumping spiders, on the expo there were not one. I had them on my list. Unfortunately I didn't want to have a scorpion at this time, there were many offers.

She's cute when she burrows herself! ^^
I just researched HOW venomous this spider is :wideyed:! Is your specimen especially calm so you can "pick her out" of the sand only with a cup, or are they generally as calm as yours?

Mine is an adult male. They're a very docile species. Obviously you should NEVER handle one and be extremely careful around them but they're easy to deal with. And a pleasure.

Oh, sorry Mister Sicarius :bag:.
I read that their venom makes bad necrosis and other damages and there is no antidote. Nothing what somebody wants to have, so of course no handling at all. He is another special spider you have ^^.

You'd probably have to hurt one to get a bite. But yes, then you'd be in some trouble.

I see them the same as the Queen's royal guards. Keep themselves to themselves and are quiet. However annoy one at your peril.

She is fast. And funny when she don't find her entrance. Great to watch ^^.

I'm completely in love with my Gandanameno sp lass. Just look at her "face" at 1.38.
