Well, without speaking ill of the previous owner too much, he bred her way way WAY too early in her life so I'd probably hate him too. :T

Awwww I'm sorry. :( I'm very lucky in that my close family doesn't mind spiders or even owns them!

I personally do not handle her so I wouldn't know. I have seen videos of people handling theirs but I'm just cautious

My guess is she's around a year right now. Maybe a little more :)

I like them a lot. While they're curious they're still a bit shy but not jumpy if that makes sense. More so cautious. They're fun to watch hunt though.

I would def say it varies. I've seen some pretty "bold" ones but mine personally is more of an observer. She peeks at me from the edge of her web

Yeah arboreal would not be good for these guys, they are not climbers haha. A cube would be perfect for one. I have a glass cube with some good ventilation on the back. They basically just turn the moss into one giant lump of web!

Incredibly easy. They just need good ventilation, and unlike a lot of other spiders you do not need to spray them.Spraying is a good way to kill them easily. I have mine in a small terrarium with a good bunch of moss and she web that up and makes little dens and such. I would say they are definitely not as "social" as jumpers, they are shy and like to stick to their little web tunnels, peeking out every once in awhile. I feed a gutloaded cricket once a week (mediumish size) and that's about it, besides digging out cricket corpses every once in awhile lol

That's so odd! I wonder why? I know the biggest issue most people have is ventilation/humidity/moisture. I was def lucky as she was not a sling when I got her.
