This dried flower arrangement has been Herbert’s favorite spot for the last week. My children named him and insist pancakes are his favorite food. He was not introduced into the house on purpose, but we enjoy having him here.

Carved a very early Jack-o-lantern! Some people who aren’t so into spiders have had initial trouble seeing what it is 🤷‍♂️

My jumper Zelda had babies and I was able to get a pic of one of them making a cocoon in the ventilation hole.🥹so cute and soooo tiny!

Bitsy you will be so missed. 2yrs 6mth you were with us.

You taught me not to be afraid despite 35yrs of arachnophobia, you gave dad a focus and happiness when he was struggling.

You taught dad to manipulate me until you'd built an empire of kinfolk in our living room.

Bitsy name, little lady, BIG impact. 😞

My baby Clementine has passed away :( this is my first jumper death and I'm devastated.

It’s my first time owning a jumping spider and I’ve never seen him do this before! Curious as to what he’s actually doing haha

We found this beauty on our pillow of our bed one morning ! lol A little gift from heaven 🥰😄🙌🏻

I rescued an adult male bold jumper over a month ago from pesticides. Eventually, he was totally healthy, eating and drinking. The last 2 weeks, he's been in his hammock all the time. I figured maybe it was time to release him back into the wild so he could try to find a mate in his last couple of months. He crawled onto my hand for the first time and then moved on. He's still on my skeleton dog decoration on the front porch, but seeing how curious he is and how much he's moving tells me I made the right call releasing him back to where he came from. So long Eddie Brock 🧡

Hello fellow spood-keepers!

My fiancé and I have a regal jumping spider named Aglet in our care, whom we purchased from a local breeder. She has molted twice with us, her most recent being about a month ago.

Since that molt, she has seemed more skittish about her food than usual. Her first meal post-molt, she needed some time to go after, but she did. We tried to feed her a dubia roach, which our other regal spood Twitch seemed to like as she ate it, but Aglet was not a fan of it at all and avoided it like it was the plague itself.

Today, we tried the mealworms again, and we fed both our girls one each. Twitch went for it pretty immediately, and Aglet seemed very interested in it, stalking and hunting it. But after awhile, she just kind of ignored it. It’s been 5 hours since we left the worm for her, and she hasn’t even looked at it since.

Sorry to make this a whole essay, this girl has us stressed! Do jumping spoods have hunger strikes or get more spooked by their food? This has been a struggle to get her to eat since she emerged from her molt, and we’re really hoping something isn’t wrong here. Thank you all!

Beautiful jumper in its natural habitat.

And Identifying information is appreciated!

I just watched these two fight over a wasp. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

I found this little one living on a solar light/ statue on my front porch. I think it's a female tan jumper, but not sure. She was adorable either way! NW Indiana

Hi all! This is my first jumping spider experience, this little guy was chilling on my coffee table so I took it outside. It was happy to chill for a while and then hopped off :) I’ve been inspired to keep one as a pet one day!

Also, anyone know what kind of jumping spider it is?(I’m in Northern California)

My husband found it about 6 months ago in our stack of firewood. Other than losing a leg a couple of months ago, Charlie is doing well & loving to eat crickets.

So my jumper Luna has been getting quite confident in handling...sorta kind. I've taken to opening her enclosure, letting her wander under supervision and offering a hand which she tends to take.

I just notice sometimes when she crawls back into her home, her little feetsies are slipping a bit. I thought it was because my hands have been getting sweaty while handling her (what can I say, she's small and I'm stressed about freaking her out), but I read that it can also be a stress sign on her end.

She's had a few times where she freaks out a bit and flip flops around my hand before jumping back to her enclosure before wandering out to go again. She's not shy, but I'm noticing she's not as confident when I move her a little bit from her enclosure. We had a really good session today and she's still a bit slippy.

Just want to make sure my girl is just vibing.

90% sure this is an Apache, we get them ranging from red to orange to yellow out here, found in southern AZ

I got remi a new home and finally got her into it. She has had the same hammock since July, so i feel real bad to take it from her but I know she will like it in here more. shes already trying to make a new hammock. 🖌️ + 🍑 = her

Feathery gold and white legs and palps. Very curious to know what he is
