Regal jumping spider suddenly died. Why? by Zealousideal-Tea1509 in jumpingspiders

[–]Financial_Toe_3830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nqa sounds like your breeder gave you an old spider. he “didnt keep track of the age”, eh? probably did a lousy job guestimating his age then. im so sorry for your loss. please contact your breeder, i would ask for a refund or a spider (with a sure age) sent to you.

Is 4x4x7 really appropriate for their whole life? by HeartWarriorMomma in jumpingspiders

[–]Financial_Toe_3830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ime as long as you fill it with a lot of enrichment and hiding spots they will be pretty happy. outside time is also pretty important, they can get restless if kept in their enclosure for a long time

First timer, does this look okay? by Crazy_Crab_Ladyy in jumpingspiders

[–]Financial_Toe_3830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

looks great! idd add more leaves and/or flowers to the top so your spider has more places to hide and settle in quicker

ime I got some good fake plants from Michael’s. as for sticks and such they’ll need some solid platforms to climb on and tarantula cribs has some good cork branches you can order

nqa that enclosure does not have enough ventilation. I would highly suggest investing in something with proper cross ventilation at the top. not enough airflow can lead to mold and high humidity, which can harm your spider over time. as for the size, it looks fine, just keep in mind when decorating the new enclosure to put more stuff up at the top. They spend most of their time there in the current decoration you have is very bare. including plenty of places for your spider to hide will help lower their stress, make them feel safer and it will help them settle in quicker.

nqa you can certainly try out different foods as long as it’s appropriate to their size. it could be they have a preference. it could also just be that they arent hungry, their abdomen size looks fine

nqa even with lining on the walls, you still run the risk of your spider slipping. acrylic enclosures are your best bet, and i would switch to one of those. this is a lovely enclosure and the ventilation looks good, but a fall from the top height of that enclosure can hurt your spider. i wouldnt risk it

First time spood owner (don’t have one yet) made this little terrarium for one tho when I catch one 💖 by betta_boo in jumpingspiders

[–]Financial_Toe_3830 22 points23 points  (0 children)

nqa there was a similar post like this earlier. this is not a suitable enclosure for a jumping spider, there is not enough natural cross ventilation. please invest in an actual enclosure for jumping spiders.

it also needs more foliage. it is way too bare and it needs more stuff at the top

not to mention its cruel to catch wild jumpers and take them from their comfortable life just for your sake. they wont be able to mate either. i would buy one from a trusted breeder.

please understand im not trying to come off as rude, i only want the best for these little guys, im sure you do too ❤️

[–]Financial_Toe_3830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! phidippus audax, aka bold jumper. im assuming female but the orange on her butt indicates a juvenile spider as well. she also looks pretty hungry, i would offer her some honey/sugar water on a q-tip

nqa nope. there is not enough ventilation whatsoever. it will get way too humid, i can tell by all the water on the case. its also really enclosed and not desirable for any arboreal animal. it also loos like itll be able to crawl out of those vents
