does anyone know the average life span of a jumping spider, the kind that are normally found in the New England Area of the United States? I was thinking of keeping some as pets

I'm from NY and have often kept jumpers. Try to find a female, they're much larger and I'm assuming live longer than the males. They can be lots of fun to keep, as long as you can get it to eat. I havent kept any longer than one summer so I dont really know about lifespan but I'm sure there are others who would know.

thanks, I will be looking into it when the summer rolls around. I did notice the extreme size difference of the females!!
