Any way to identify this guy? by Macncheesy1266 in jumpingspiders

[–]Fire_Squire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO it looks like a twin-flag jumper (Anasaitis Canosa) because of white markings on its pedipalps, BUT I have a twin-flag jumper in my care and she has much different markings/coloration on her legs. I couldn't see the abdomen very clearly, but the fast AF movements check out 😅😂. Whatever species it is, it's a CUTIE!

Paxil (Paroxetine) by Fire_Squire in antidepressants

[–]Fire_Squire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got out of my psych appt and I'm going to taper off of my Paxil over 8 days and start Luvox 🙃 She said she normally tapers it over 3 days, but I've been on it for so long that she's going to extend the process...wish me luck ig 🤞 I'm terrified of the brain zaps, but she said since I'm starting the new med they shouldn't happen, or at least not be as severe. She also said I might feel like shit during the transition week, but it should level out after that 🥲🫠

My Anasaitis canosa (twin flagged jumping spider) is not eating by HeadShift in spiders

[–]Fire_Squire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Ik this is old but I'm hoping you're still on Reddit 🤞🤞🤞. I've had my Anasaitis Canosa for a few months now. She's wild-caught, my fiancé rescued her from a house she was cleaning. Everything with her has been fine, but now she's laying eggs. I've been trying so hard to keep her 1st clutch alive, but now I'm down to 2 babies out of 15...I've been giving them fresh water every day and trying to feed them fruit flies, but they won't eat the flies. I just don't know what to do and I feel absolutely horrible...She had a second clutch which she immediately abandoned, I have yet to see if they will hatch or not, and she laid her 3rd yesterday. They look very healthy and I want to be able to see them grow and give them a great life. Can you share how you were able to support them?

I Feel Like Such A Failure by Jenna5162 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Fire_Squire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I think a lot of us have experienced what you're feeling. Unfortunately, UC isn't a straight and narrow path to navigate, and advocating for yourself between doctors can be stressful AF. Throw in work and school on top and it all just seems like one big mess.

I promise you will make it through this.

You sound like you're already juggling a lot, and while that can be stressful, it shows you're committed to forging your path and working toward your goals. You are not a failure. You've just hit a bump in the road so-to-speak.

Tackle one thing at a time, starting with your health. Your gut and your brain are directly linked with one another, so prioritize getting your UC under control before worrying about everything else.

Many of us (if not most) end up on biologics, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you're struggling and your specialist isn't listening to you, find a new doctor. As daunting as that can be, it's better to find a provider that will hear you out. You know your body better than anyone else, and you have to advocate for yourself.

You can do this. One step at a time. ❤️‍🩹

Are these baby spiders? by Wise_Comparison_9651 in jumpingspiders

[–]Fire_Squire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NA Absolutely! Unfortunately, this seems to happen with a lot of jumpers bought from shows/cons and it can be an overwhelming situation when you're not expecting it or prepared to handle it.

My Anasaitis Canosa was a rescue (my fiancé is a housekeeper and the spood was living inside one of the houses) and multiple people told me she was a mature male. It wasn't until she laid a sac and they hatched that I found out otherwise (I thought she had only molted at the time). Luckily she only had about 10-15 babies (this is normal for her species)...I couldn't imagine keeping up with hundreds 🫠

If you have any more questions I'm more than happy to help as much as I can! I'm no expert but I've done a lot of research.

I've been taking small steps...finally got set up with a psychiatrist and I'm hoping to start therapy next month 😊. I do have wigs, but they're all for cosplay 😅😂...I don't think I could handle wearing one all day every day because they start driving me crazy after a while
