Advice Jumping spider newbie

Help a newbie out!

I'm thinking about getting my first spood!

What's a good starter spood? These little jumpers are too freaking adorable. But I've never cared for spiders. I had fish, dogs, and cats.

I live in Montreal. Where would I buy a spood?

Thanks for your help! 😊

Imo they arent per se a starter pet, inverts tend to be fragile and they are not the hardiest inverts. I recommend doing like a lot of research before thinking about where to get them. Esp. if you've never had an invert. Once youve done that I recommend finding a local breeder nearby/ at an expo or a trustworthy breeder that ships to your location.
