Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia)

[Jebbles]

I have a few questions about Yellow Garden Spiders. Recently my dad gave me a jar with about 150-200 inside. They were apparently in a giant ball on a bush outside his house and he thought he'd give me a present. Well, I've researched them, they seem really awesome.
But anyway, I have no idea what to do with them. Any ideas?
Also, if I were to keep them and breed them, how would I know when the males and females are ready to mate?

You would need a lot of space, patients, and experience to raise and breed orb weavers. Best to let them go and keep a couple; they need over a foot of web making space once they get a little bigger. As slings you would have a tough time feeding them.
