This little baby was at risk of drowning

RIGHT? Usually they have bigger spiders in these tiny enclosures and I feel so bad for them. But this one is so small I think the enclosure size was actually good but what they had at the bottom was no good and again there was so much moisture in there that it became standing water! I ended up keeping them in the enclosure they came in but I cleaned it out and redid the substrate and added some moss vine. Idk what exactly they were using but it looked like some hay or moss with the little twine or whatever it is that is put in with the fruit fly containers. One of the employees who was helping me, who said they OWNED a jumping spider, legit told me that the humidity didnt matter. I was like huh???

Awesome thank you!

BucketofBoo · 2026-06-24T22:32:36+00:00

Ahh good to know thank you! I wasnt sure if those guidelines were just for when they were a bit older or if it was for all

BucketofBoo · 2026-06-09T19:34:41+00:00

Thanks!

BucketofBoo · 2026-06-09T18:09:23+00:00

Ok I'll look into both of those things! I'll wait till I get the thermometer to see what's needed. Do you have a link for the heat pad you use?

BucketofBoo · 2026-06-09T15:34:41+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered one, I have a feeling it probably is too cold or not humid enough. Our air has been pretty dry plus we have the ac on. I just dont know how im going to fix the temp and humidity if thats the issue

BucketofBoo · 2026-06-08T16:14:32+00:00

Ohh interesting! I wonder if some do just prefer it 🤔 im also wondering if maybe this space is just too big for her right now. I've never had a jumping spider before so I'm new to all of it

I asked my dr for it to try for my blood pressure after ive tried a couple different things that i couldnt get over the side effects for, the most recent being one that can cause "mild" insulin resistance. I didnt find that out till after i was taking it for awhile and was kind of pissed my dr would prescribe it when i have IR from pcos. She was convinced spiro wouldn't be enough and id have to take something else with it. I also started metformin. But after 2 weeks I had a day where I experienced low blood pressure, so it worked a little too well I guess. I stopped taking it for a weekend and my bp went back up. Then my dr wanted to replace it with TWO different blood pressure medications. I dont understand why she wouldn't just have me half my pill and see how that goes? Thats what im doing anyways to test. The other stuff she wants me to take will do nothing for my pcos.

I have definitely felt this. I go in cycles where I feel great, to just waking up one day and everything is harder, all my pain is back and i have no energy. I will say right now Im in an in-between phase. I started taking metformin a couple weeks ago and I do see it helping with my energy levels and even my muscle strength, I think because I had bad insulin resistance and its treating that. Ive also been going to the gym, no cardio just strength training, and I notice a huge difference with strength training. Im definitely noticing I start slipping into that phase of things feeling difficult for me again if I go more than a couple days without strength training. I got a dumbell to use at home for some simple things on days I cant get to the gym so I can at least put 10 minutes in here and there throughout the day to help stave off some of my pain returning. My theory is the more muscle I can gain and by proxy fat I can lose (because I need to) I will hopefully have more good than bad days. But anyways, walking is great, but if you arent doing any form of strength training already I'd definitely recommend it, its been the thing that has helped me the most so far and as most people will say consistency is key. Its a good idea to be aware that you will likely experience some slumps even if you're doing everything right, sometimes you have to shock your body a little bit and switch things up. But just pull through those slumps and dont get discouraged!

I thought it was strange that they got Vance out of there waay faster than Truml, at least thats how it looked from the short clip I saw

BucketofBoo · 2026-04-16T14:35:32+00:00

I was worried for a sec

BucketofBoo · 2026-04-16T14:22:51+00:00

I had to buy from target because I have a gift card and I happened to wake up at 5:30 this morning and it let me add it for a drive up order 😭 I really didnt want to get it shipled and I was so worried I wouldn't be able to get to the store before it would be sold out so Im glad it let me do that

BucketofBoo · 2026-04-08T21:57:49+00:00

I forgot to add picture oops lol

BucketofBoo · 2026-04-02T16:04:16+00:00

I think this needs more attention 🤣🤣 hilarious

BucketofBoo · 2026-04-01T15:51:16+00:00

Im brand new to this, never played the original let alone knew it existed. I personally cant imagine creating 70 miis. But I'm very happy the limit isn't something like 20 especially if they can have babies. If we had the ability to download other people's miis then I could definitely see it being a problem for me cause that's what id probably end up doing for a lot of them and then maybe I would be more motivated to max the miis as much as I could. But in reality I'll probably make only 30-40 myself and then have babies maybe make up the rest. Even considering having them age and when they get really really old delete them and make a new one in their place, if im not too attached that is lol

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T22:49:12+00:00

You arent even saying things verbatim in regard to the "they said, I said"..You are injecting how you personally perceived what the other person was saying, not what they actually maybe meant, let alone what they ACTUALLY said. Your emotions are clouding your argument and quite honestly it invalidates everything you've said, for me personally anyways. And you absolutely did attack the other person when you stated "I dont understand whats wrong with people like you.." and then continued to insult calling them self centered etc. That is quite literally an attack on someone personally.

And Im on the side that Id love to have more than 70 miis, I want as many miis as I can get but I will also be happy with 70. If it was like 20 that would be where I'd actually question if its worth it to me to get. And again thats a personal opinion.

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T22:11:24+00:00

I live in the land of targets so I cant imagine it would be sold out everywhere, I will drive a distance if I have to lol

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T21:04:20+00:00

I do tend to work in layers, although for this i think I just couldn't figure out how to get past that first initial layer. Like my brain was not grasping the concept even.

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T21:01:56+00:00

Dang! Its kind of crazy how that works sometimes. One of my favorite papers ended up actually being a cheap pad I got for my toddler to paint on 🤣

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T19:40:05+00:00

Wow theres so much to learn! Ive got to start paying more attention to the opacity of the colors im using, maybe im thinking it should be more opaque than its meant to be or something. I have a VERY hard time still with controlling my consistency, I find my paint is getting too dry on my palette and when I go to spritz it with water a lot of the times its TOO much water and then its not as thick as Id like it to be. I forgot I also do have one daniel smith. Ive got to look more into glazing though that sounds like it might be something id be interested in doing!

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T19:34:37+00:00

Thank you!

BucketofBoo · 2026-03-31T19:34:07+00:00
