@Lifesabeach86 I keep them in my living room. They don't take up too much space because many are still small.
@Soubriquet I'm not sure of the exact details, but I think tarantulas branched off at some point from true spiders - they are both in the same scientific class and order, but tarantulas are down a sub-branch. The most obvious difference between them (other than the size!) is that true spiders have fangs which curve inwards, while tarantulas have fangs that curve under.
@CodenameVillanelle They don't quite have personalities like a cat or a dog, but they do have a personality of sorts. They certainly have enough to make you attached to them. You get to know who is shy, and who is bold, and their personalities do come through.
@PeachesAndPops I've seen them - they are huge! I didn't realise the incubation period was so long though - that is a long wait for babies!
@ofwarren They don't actually take up much room cause many are small still. The smallest one I have is only the size of my pinky nail! The babies are very small. They eat anything like crickets, locusts, mealworms, silkworms, roaches, etc. I feed mine dubia roaches and red runner roaches cause they are the easiest feeder to keep (in my experience so far)...doesn't take much for cockroaches to thrive! I pre-kill them for the babies if they're too big.
@Fortheloveofscience I've finished my collection for now. We intend to buy a house soon - would have been this spring but clearly that's all been put on hold - so I don't want to add more for now when it's more to transport. The age range varies. Males have a significantly shorter lifespan - usually only a year or so after they mature, so they typically have a lifespan ranging from 4-8 years depending on species. Females on the other hand can live a long time! Up to 30 years for some species. Unfortunately the jumping spiders will only live a few years. True spiders have a much shorter lifespan than tarantulas. 
@ClaudiaWankleman They are not sociable at all. There are some tarantula species which can live communally - monocentropus balfouri being the first to spring to mind - but they are few and far between...most will just eat each other!
@Bobkitten Yeah, it's a shame that the jumping spiders have such a short lifespan. Honestly, I probably wouldn't buy them again cause I just know I'm going to be heartbroken when they die. I think the typical life span is only a few years and I bought mine as sub-adults so they are well on their way through those few years.
@wheresmymojo Here's a pic of Freya the female jumping spider. They are extremely cute! They are 2-3cm in size.
The wee face poking out the coconut is Morag. She is our 'special needs' girl. She has coordination issues so we don't know whether she'll have a full life but with a bit of extra tlc she's doing fine. It does mean she is often caught in moments like this where she's trying to organise all her legs!
