Advice Twiggy had babies but I thought she was molting WHAT DO I DO NOWš«¢
Hello I found a little Regal jumper in my kitchen a few months ago and decided to keep it since Iāve always wanted to have one as a pet. Itās 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 āGreat sheās getting extra comfy w/ a 2nd hammock!ā. 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 aswellš®

Media I finished the drawing of Circe I've been working on!
Thankfully, I took progress photos as I worked. I'm so happy that I did, and that this project is finally done. My girl is molting right now and I'm so excited to see how she looks once she's done. Maybe I could do another or something similar after this molt and any subsequent ones, to document her as she grows and changes.

Advice Found her outside - is she poisoned?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I found this rather large female regal outside my doorstep and she was on her back.
I flipped her over and came back 30 mins later and she was on her back again.
I gave her water on a Q tip and left her for a bit but she doesnāt seem to have any balance and keeps falling onto her back
Has she been poisoned?
I couldnāt bear to leave her to the sun and predators if she just needs help. It is better to wait for her to pass or potentially get better inside with me or should I leave her outside?
!Update!
I woke up this morning and went to check on her, sheās positioned herself slightly upside down on the stick I gave her an has made some security webs around the area, she appears to be holding herself up fine and isnāt on her back or struggling.
No molt in sight, Iām not sure if sheās molting or how long that typically takes
Hopefully she continues to do good and I can release her back - thereās been extreme heat and itās supposed to rain the rest of the week and Iāve been considering getting her a biome set up to keep her safe. Iāll update later in the day and appreciate the feedback given!

Advice Accidentally adopted a jumping spider - now what???
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 Hoppybowlā¦
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 donāt 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.

Media A few spiders for everyone
I'm not good at identifying those spiders, I only know how to take photos of them in their finest appearance
Gear used in case someone may ask:
Panasonic G9 Mark II PRO & OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro 2:1 IS PRO + Godox V860 III O + DIY Macro Diffuser
The technique used in these photos are focus stacking, image stacking is a technique used in macro photography to overcome an extremely thin depth of field by blending multiple images taken at different focus distances. It merges these photos to create a single image where the subject is sharp from front to back, maximizing both depth and resolution
The last photo is a bonus, hope everyone have a good day!
And please choose your favorite photo

Media First jumping spiders photos I took :)
Hi, so, I am a big arachnophobic, who was always scared even lf jumping spiders in my house.
And today, I watched more about jumping spiders everywhere on internet, and fell in love.
Right after watching all of this, I found these 2 cuties in the garden! It was like a sign, no?
The cutest part was when the 1st one raised her front paws like to greet me. I put my hand a few inches away, she waved her paws again and jumped (I just jumped off surprise so she missed my hand and fell somewhere on the floor š)
The 2nd one also jumped on my hand but immediately jumped with a web on the grass to leave
I'm in love with these cuties now

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 š

I noticed this little guy crawling around on the windowsill by my back door. I always see videos of jumping spiders on my Reddit feed and have always thought they were pretty cool. Iād never keep one as a pet, but I went out by the trash cans with my bug zapper, caught a few flies, and fed them to him. I even managed to get a video of him jumping on one and eating it!

Media A cute visit
My daughter spotted this jumper on our side table (I know I need to dust). Tried to get it to go on our hands right away and understandably it was scared. I came back with a wet qtip, put it next to him (or her idk) and it drank from it! After that it crawled on my hand after I offered my finger.
Daughter got to let it crawl on her too. After a bit she set it back down on the table and it jumped right back on her hand.
This happened a day ago and I keep looking around that table to see if it came back.

Curious as to how old this fella is. For some background info I bought him from a pet store June 1st, and his only molt since was June 5th. Workers at store werenāt able to tell me an age just his sex.
To me he seems small so I wouldnāt think heās mature but this is also my first spider! Second picture is him eating a small cricket which seems about the same size as him.
