Oh ok then! lol
What’s the honorary Texan thing?

Whell definition of honorary :conferred as an honor, without the usual requirements or functions
so an honorary texan would mean that a bycer texan nominated me a texan...

Hi! Tarantulas and jumping spiders are by far my favorite, they have such cute faces! Wolf spiders are cool to. I like them all!

I had about 30 spiders, some daddy long legs (not spiders, but still!) and they had some babies, very cute.

GUYS so GUESS what JUST happened THIS morning:

I saw a jumping spider hanging out on the living room window. I had a plastic enclosure ready, so I ran out real quick and set it up with a nice, loose-dirt floor, several climbing branches, a couple of small plants, and a little curved-bark hide. Then I obtained the aforementioned spider and put him in! After he realized he couldn't just jump out, he went to exploring. We let him be for a little bit, just so he could get used to his new surroundings.

Later today he received his first meal and a name! I caught a lacewing for him and he loved it. It was really cool watching him stalk and catch it!

His name is Jasper and he's a big male Bold Jumping Spider. Very cool-looking!


So yeah, now I have a jumper!!


Will get pics ASAP
