You’re very welcome and same here. When I was little, I spent a lot of time at my grandpaarents’. My Pappaw liked sitting on the front porch in the evenings and there would be several brown spiders (orb weavers maybe?) that would make webs around the edge of their porch. I would catch the bugs that flew around the porch light and feed “my” spiders lol. I was never discouraged from doing it. I was riased to not be afraid of animals, but to have a healthy understanding and respect. I didn’t even know keeping spiders as pets (other than tarantulas and I had a few of those as a teen lol) was a thing until earlier this year. I started out with a few jumpers, but now I have several more jumpers, some wolf spiders, crab spiders, and few others I’m not sure the species lol. I can’t promise you won’t become addicted to owning more spiders. lol
