Would a jumping spider be a good gift for my truck driver bf?
Hi all! I’m totally ignorant about jumping spiders but my boyfriend absolutely loves them and has been thinking about getting one. Im considering surprising him with one but I can’t really find info on this cos it’s a little specific- would a jumping spider be happy and safe in the cab of a truck?
A little context, my bf is a OTR truck driver so he’s gone for two to three weeks at a time on the road and I know he gets lonely. I was thinking a little spider to keep him company would be so sweet but I also want to make sure the spider will be happy and healthy!
The sleeper cab is temperature controlled, and the spaces available to keep it would be out of direct sunlight . He would of course bring the spider back home with him for the days he’s off.
Thank you I. And sorry if this is an appallingly silly question!
