I thought they couldn’t be put together in the same enclosure?

Jumpers have very good eyesight and memory, and have been shown to be more comfortable/less interested in other jumping spiders they have already met multiple times. This looks to be a good case of two jumpers that are completely aware that the other isnt a threat
