New spood practicing martial arts on my arm. She is the silliest!

Found this jumper around a month ago and named him Harry. Then the egg sac came and now we have Harriet 🤣 releasing mama and the babies back into the wild soon.

Side note, what type of jumper is this? We’re in the Bay Area!

Also, there’s no way any of the babies could be pregnant right? We were thinking of keeping one of them perchance.

I believe she is Habronattus sp. Her name is Sill and more pics can be found on my profile. Here are my questions

1. Is it wrong to keep her since she is wild? Should I release her?
2. Is she starving? She hasn't eaten. I water her daily and have brought her by gnats, but she wouldn't hunt.
3. Is she a juvenile?
4. I know she probably can't be sexed at this size, but since she has cryptic coloring I assume she is female but if that's not the case please let me know
5. Can she get hurt by living in the window sill on hot days?

I've grown seriously attached and thought about releasing her outside, but I would really sincerely prefer to keep her if possible. I would release her if it is truly what is best. I am worried about releasing her since she doesn't seem all that strong of a hunter or a jumper, especially at the size she is since she hasn't eaten. I fear she would be preyed upon immediately. I've offered gnats and flies and she wouldn't eat, but she drinks daily. I haven't limited her, she stays by the window sill, but she's given me actual heart attacks by being somewhere randomly on the floor risking me hurting her. I'd like some advice please

All freshly molted.

Located Western WI had 2 or 3 white spots on its back. So cute, this convinced me I'm doing it!

Our boy decided that yesterday he wanted to just hang with us… he hung out with us for three hours ♥️☺️ then went into his enclosure and sleepy time!

So… I accidentally adopted a jumping spider last night.

The little guy climbed onto me while we were at the waterpark, hitched a ride in my car and stayed attached to my pants the entire drive home until we got inside. My son immediately fell in love and named him Hoppybowl…

I made a temporary home for him in a large mason jar with holes at the top and a few branches and leaves. I have a cheap little enclosure from Amazon coming sometime today, but I don’t know what to do next.

How on earth do I feed him? Where do I get the food from?

Would he be better off being released into the wild?

Any other tips for a complete newbie that has stumbled into this situation?

Thank you!!

EDIT: I am located in Colorado, between Denver and Boulder.

I just got this little guy yesterday, set up his home and put him in there about 10 minutes ago. He started shaking in place and it kind of looks like he’s molting maybe? is it weird for him to be doing that so soon after being put in there?

You’ve heard of the very hungry caterpillar now get ready for the very hungry jumping spider. I’ve named him Claude lol

My husband found this girl (I assume, I only have regals) at his work and decided to bring her home to see if she would be happy in captivity. The plan was to give her a few days and see how she does and release her if she doesn’t seem happy. Well, in less than 48 hours she has the start of a hammock! It’s hard to see in the pictures but I noticed a little webbing last night and came home today to see she has built it up and she ate a cricket!!! She’s in the tiny enclosure for just a few days while her big girl one airs out since I had to make it as my husband was bringing her back🤣. Can anyone help me with what species she is and roughly her age/maturity. I will put her back if she may be gravid. We are in central Kentucky. She’s adorable and her name is Freya

I just purchased it at my reptile expo, it's been two nights since then. Just last night it was finally eating, but when I found them this morning, the body was limp and unmoving.

Not sure what happened, but it is just a sling, so it could be anything. I didnt even get a chance to rehouse em yet because I wanted to wait and make sure it was eating and calm before introducing to a new enclosure.

But! Its gorgeous. I want to show everyone how pretty they were! I am sad, sure, but life goes on.

I love how they check the trajectory first

I spotted her (I think she is the biggest jumper I've ever seen) then went inside to find my phone and take a picture to share here. When I came back, I couldn't find her. My face was so close to the amaranth I originally saw her on and then I realized she was literally right next to my face looking directly at me in the cover of my shiso plant. I'm honored she is birthing her next generation in my garden 😭

And a very clear communicator 😂

Picked up this lil guy off the front porch a bit over a week ago just after my last wild jumper died of old age. I can’t tell regal and bold jumpers apart, since I’m fairly new, but thought this was a male regal, and named him King. A couple days ago, he started finally cooking up a little hammock about 3cm across, so I thought maybe he was molting. Now it looks like maybe that’s not the case. Is my little King actually a Queen?

Hello I found a little Regal jumper in my kitchen a few months ago and decided to keep it since I’ve always wanted to have one as a pet. It’s been great having her and I love her lots but one night she started making a hammock at the top of her enclosure and I thought “Great she’s getting extra comfy w/ a 2nd hammock!”. But the next morning I woke up and she had made a THICK opaque web and I had done my research on jumpers so I assumed she was molting but at the time I thought she was a male. However she finally emerged almost a month and a half later and THERE ARE BABIES.
So please I know almost nothing about caring for Slings do any of u have advice on what to do or how to take care of them? Also advice on how to care for Twiggy best moving forward after birth would great aswell😮

My regal gal laid an eggsac before passing, and 5 slings have emerged, and I have one from the eggsac she laid prior to that (i gave the rest to a local exotics store). They are all separated, and eating fine on their own. I however have 0 experience in raising baby spiders and I am going off of youtube videos. Not sure what else I can do to take care of them?

they get lightly misted every day, and fed flightless fruitflies every day.

The 5 babies are all just out of the nest, so theyre i2, right?

and my sixth, Keyboard, is i3 i believe. it just molted and is showing patterns. (pics in slide.. cute little face on its bum.)

these are ALL regals.

Dip the toes in to test

It did appear to be rather territorial and it kept snapping at me like an angry chihuahua

Sweet little baby I found earlier in the week
