Cool, jumpers are great spiders. I think they live maybe a year, 2 at most.

[xalbinox]

yes he is pretty cool igot home tonight and he was eating another cricket i sish i could take a pic under a magnifying glass to show you how awsome it looks=D

[Navaros]

I can't believe they are active so early, must be warm over there or maybe I should start looking already. I can't wait to collect jumpers this year. :D

[Navaros]
