Hello Everyone
After watching many videos about how to care for jumping spiders I decided to get one myself. I bought it from a pet store and purchased the enclosure it was already in. While at the store I also inquired when it was fed last so I could try to keep it on a regular healthy feeding schedule. It was active and roaming around when I looked at it. I brought it home and placed it in a quite room by a window for light and try not to disturb to allow him/her a chance to settle in and only open the enclosure to give it a slight mist.
Now my concern is while I have owned it, he/she has stayed in one area and not ventured out ( at least to my knowledge). I have a cotton ball soaked in bottles water to offer water.
Is it's inactivity normal or have a done something wrong?
