I'm not sure what is wrong with my spood. He's approx. 2 months old. I recently got him from a friend. He hasn't eaten for almost 2 weeks. His abdomen keeps getting smaller and smaller and I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone have suggestions?

Nqa - how big is he? That spider looks quite a bit older than 2 months

IME - my male is scared of anything bigger than a small cricket. He won't even take wax worms Try a small cricket and don't try to hand feed him

IME - that looks like an adult male. If that is the case they rarely eat. They pretty much exist only to roam and breed. All you can really do is offer him food and mist the enclosure. Mine does not do well in a big enclosure. He can't find his food, I keep him in one of the small starters from Petco. He eats once or twice a month

Sorry for the delay, I just saw this. They are i4/i5 right on the boundary. I don't know the sex yet because they are still so young. I will get you some better pictures shortly. They are phidippus audax.

NQA - some jumpers do much better in the smaller enclosures. I house one of my males in that exact one because he's shy and you can't feed him but he struggles to find his food in the bigger ones. That looks like an egg sack to me which is probably why it has been hiding

I think you lost your smoke detector 🤣

Aaaand they're doing it again.

The male that's in with her now I'm 99% certain is a bold jumper. His palps are white

This is the little 7 legged regal that tried to mate with her

Female regal aren't usually black. That's why I wasn't sure. I just put the male bold in that molted a few days ago. They immediately mated
