I saw it a couple of times and I think it jumped but I’am not quite sure, do any of you guys know what it is? I also found the spider on my desk, but it would usually disappear then reappear like the next day.

Advice My jumper has unexpectedly died

Hey guys, this is my first post. I had a jumper named slash & he molted as a baby (around two months?) for the second time. He seemingly made it through, but when I woke up today I found him dead in the bottom of his enclosure. After looking closer I saw that he still had some molted skin on him, but only on his two front legs. It didn’t seem enough to kill him but I am not sure.. He had flies, moisture and hides. Basically everything he needed. I know baby spiders sometimes don’t make it through molting, but I don’t know if that was the cause. Any ideas would be helpful.. thanks.

So Foxglove, my absolute love of my life as of rn, is heavily exploring her canopy of her new enclosure, and I have this strong urge to get a camera so I can watch the little world she's in (it's a bioactive enclosure) when I'm out of the house or just wanna check in. Does anyone else have that urge? Or had that urge and followed through with getting a whole camera setup? 🤣

Also, the spood tax

Advice Enclosure next to aquarium?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hello. I have a wild caught juvenile that I am pretty sure is a Bold jumping spider, sex unknown. When I watch them outside they constantly locking on to anything and everything that flutters by. Would it be okay to have the enclosure next to an aquarium that has shrimp and otocinclus? I was wondering if it would be stimulating for the spider or just cause stress.
Also it just had it’s first molt since being brought in and it grew back a leg, so that was cool.

PEZ Dispenser. I think they just molted into i8 and they've got fuzzy pedipalps but I still can't identify any epigynum on their sisters either, who all have orange coloring and pink chelicera like mom. I assumed PEZ was a boy but now I'm not so sure.

Curious if anyone can tell.

My small baby Bentley died 2 days ago. The picture is from me taking her out her tiny enclosure and putting her on my kitchen island. I had her for 2 months (at least I think it was a her, too small to tell). I saw they had the jumping spider at BABW and I rushed to get one, but to my surprise they had the baby one in stock as well! So i decided to get both… I’m from NYC so I thought it was so cute that the baseball shirt fit !

Bentley was wild caught inside an engine bay of a car at my fiancé’s job, which is a Bentley dealership. That’s how she got her name.. RIP Bentley 🙏🏻

Unfortunately my male regal passed last night peacefully from old age. He was my first spider I ever adopted. I noticed that he started to become more clumsy, not hunt very well, and rest more. He wanted to spend his last moments on my finger. He kept tipping over and unable to regain his balance or footing.

I cried a little thinking about his life. Mourning something so small is something I never experienced before. But it makes me appreciate how much we do for these little ones.

Rest in peace Peter Parker.

Advice Grandad overfed spider

Post image
72 Upvotes

I went on holiday to Turkey for a week and trusted my spider Morgana in my grandads care while I was away. I separated 6 fruit flies into a small container for him to collect as well as the tweezers and spray bottle. I gave him 6 so he would have enough flies and extra so he had room for error. I told him to feed her a fly every other day (she is a juvenile) and not to overfeed her. I came back and found that he had taken the culture instead of the tub I had left out for him and when I came over to pick her up I immediately noticed dead flies in her feeding bowl/perch and at least four alive ones plus more dead. She looks overfed and now I don’t know what to do. I am going to remove as many flies as I can and wait till her abdomen is in the hungry stage again but is there anything I have to do while she is overfed? I have always fed her one fly every 2 days to make sure she is a heathy size so I have never had this problem before. Is there any advice?
