I kept a couple N. clavata for a while. Once they got settled in their places (corners of my room) they didn't move from the area. They're not very agressive towards food, but they're also not very agressive towards each other.

The male mated with the female but because it was right before winter she died before making a sac.

I've only had this one species but I highly recommend getting any Nephila. :)

the web is a typical orb web (maybe a higher ratio of height to width than most) with scattered/tangled strands on both sides. I let them web freely.
