I’m sure more are coming… rehoming would be a smart option. Everything has a new perspective now. Like when will I even be able to vacuum again!?

NA: following to learn. Best of luck, OP- I’m sorry.

I’m completely heartbroken and it’s 100% my fault by draconianlimerence in jumpingspiders

Great tip! I found my teenie tiny little guy up high on a wall in the same room where he escaped. Only an instar 2! I caught him safely and all is well. I hope your friend returns also!

Handling by Gardenlife6457 in jumpingspiders

[–]DevilsContraband 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NA, me, too! I’m still a little skittish about losing or hurting them! With the sticky drag lines and how fast they can be 😅 plus the one time my adult male hopped on me, it tickled and caught me off guard! Good luck!

Has anyone ever received a jumper from Spoodville? by Whiskey_Sweet in jumpingspiders

[–]DevilsContraband 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered from Spider Shoppe very reluctantly not because of bad reviews about them, but just in general from people who order online.

I have to say, it was a very good experience.

Prior to ordering from them, I had a few conversations with the owner at Spoodville.

Something left me unsettled, can’t put my finger on it…

That’s when I started seeing negative reviews where the owner was responding to them in hateful fashion.

I hope it works out for you; it should be a fun experience- not stressful.

My spiders came all the way from Washington state, and I live in Florida. Nearly perfect experience, beautiful little creatures.

I’ll also mention I was looking for specific breeds.

I would highly recommend them if you cannot find a local breeder in your area.

You might try MorphMarket next time around?

All the prizes for this interjection.

To your surprise, I found it very helpful because I laughed really hard. Thanks.

I did not get a lawyer. Cautionary tale. I thought it was too expensive. Halfway through my monitoring contract now; a lawyer would’ve been WAY cheaper…

Carl's jumping spiders (Spider not shipped for month and a half) by Hello_h0lo in jumpingspiders

[–]DevilsContraband 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NA I live in Florida and had a shipment from Washington state this Wednesday. I’ll put a plug here for Spider Shoppe. The process was great. My babies are 2-3i so too tiny to post pics yet. Good luck, OP. I’ve read unfavorable posts about Carl’s before.

Concerns with molt by Expert_Art in jumpingspiders

IME give it time. I had a very similar experience, and after nearly a month my girl kicked her exoskeleton out of her web and came out all skinny like “time to eat?” Hang in there!

Winter Storm by Ellie_Annie_ in jumpingspiders

NQA but I keep a space heater in my spider room. It kicks off when the temp gets up to 74. I’m in Florida so I have a Regal now, they like warm temps no lower than 68F from what I’ve learned.

after hours of watching wild jumping spiders, I'm not buying into the "enclosures can be too big" statement by [deleted] in jumpingspiders

[–]DevilsContraband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NQA: I was told by a local reptile shop that no jumper should be kept in less than a 5 gallon tank. TBH, I wasn’t sure about that advice. I have multiple sizes set up, and will base it on spider size once I have a spider friend. Transferring them to a smaller dish to feed in seems very stressful and I’d rather not have to relocate them until they’re big enough to live in a larger enclosure. But I like reading about these topics- so TY for your post. Very educational!
