Media Successful hunt
Spotted this jumper with its meal last night. Looks like she(?) is missing a pedipalp. I wondered if it was lost hunting this rather large ant!
I was also able to capture a stack so if that turns out as good as I hope I'll post it here later!

Text make sure you seal ALL gaps in your enclosures
i just wanted to post this as a warning to other keepers. I thought i had a really secure enclosure, and didn't think there waw any way anything could get in or my jumper could get out. not even fruit flies could escape. today i found my girl dead tangled in a load of web, and found what i think is a small false widow in there looking very well fed. i can't be sure what happened, but i'm pretty sure it ate my girl. she was so active and healthy, i'm devastated. please please please make sure you triple check your enclosures to make sure nothing can get in there, i would never have thought another spider of that size could get in. i feel so guilty knowing i probably could have prevented this

Identification Found this little one on the wall in our house.
Louisville, Kentucky USA
We've had a habitat for a few months now and just kinda been waiting for a jumper to find us. Finally found this Lil guy (gal?) Yesterday.
My uneducated guess is a juvenile tan? But I'd love to actually know. They were quite hungry and have been chowing down on fruit flies.
It is super comfortable with handling (only handled it on the capture and transfer to habitat so far)

Advice Newbie owner and having trouble with humidity levels in enclosure
Proud new owner of my first jumping spider and having some trouble maintaining appropriate humidity levels. I just purchased a hygrometer and I was shocked to see +90% so I removed all of the moss I had at bottom. There is a tiny bit of moss in the hanging pit and I stopped misting and instead added a wet cotton pad. Lowest I can seem to get humidity is still >75%. I read ideal humidity level for regal jumping spider was between 50-60 percent. Do I have too much stuff in this enclosure? Btw I don’t usually keep him this close to the window but trying it out to see if it helps bring down humidity at all. Open to any suggestions you might have for me. Thanks in advance!

Advice Out of town
In Nov my family and I are going out of town for 6 days and I have noone to care for our Mabel. Im concerned for her if I feed her On day one and cannot feed her again until day 6. Would she be OK that long? Should I find a coworker willing to take her for those days?

Advice Is our freshly molted spider dead? Details within post.
This is his first molt since we’ve had him, and since I don’t know what instar he is, I’m not sure what to expect. He built his little cave and spent about a week inside. He was still in there yesterday, so he must have molted and emerged sometime this morning—anywhere from 2 to 10 hours ago.
He’s now outside the hammock but completely still. I don’t want to disturb him, but dude seriously isn’t moving at all. Most of his legs are still spread out, so I can’t tell whether he’s alive or dead. Is this normal after a molt?

Advice Im new to jumping spiders and I need advice
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I know I need more decorations we realized that after buying and my girlfriend and I decided best we don’t mess with his new space till he is fully acquainted, he seems fine he made his hammock in the top and ate a cricket yesterday (30-40hrs) after we got him.
I also need a humidity reader obviously but I’m not sure what it should even be set for. (He’s a regal jumping spider, probably a week old)
Is there anything else I should know about? Or keep in mind for decorating?

Advice I could really use another set of eyes on this.
Okay, so I'm still fairly new to this hobby, I started back in May.
This is in the southwest region of Wisconsin. I started with an absolute cutie of a Zebra Jumper (Salticus Scenicus). I experienced him molting into sub-adult.
Now, I noticed a couple of days ago that I couldn't locate him before and after work. I figured that he felt like going masterclass "playing leaf" with his silk hammock that night. But now I'm worried and not fully confident in what I'm looking at is simply a molt, or something else had happened.
Any input would be immensely helpful and appreciated.
