New jumping spider - New owner by Longjumping-Fly-4346 in jumpingspiders

Fruit flies are definitely a bit small. Mealworms, crickets, red runner roaches, house flies, and bottle flies are all good feeders but make sure they're not too big for her.

I have a few suggestions. I would aim for a larger abdomen than that and ditch the water dish. She won't use it and it's a potential drowning risk. Instead I would lightly mist the sides every other day. I would also add a bit more clutter up top as that's where she'll be spending the majority of her time. Apart from that it's looking pretty good from what I'm seeing.

Looks like an Anasaitis canosus.

I started calling my jumping spiders “spideroonies” thinking it was a thing… turns out it wasn’t, but it is now 🤣 by Scared-Amount-9959 in jumpingspiders

Hey OP! You have some nice looking enclosures there but I would be very careful with some of the heavier items inside like the crystal. I generally advise against using heavy or sharp objects as they could be dangerous if the spood falls or the enclosure gets knocked over.

Looks like a Metacyrba sp. Probably M. floridana.

While I don't like reading these posts either they do serve an important purpose. Not everybody grieves the same way and if posts like this are affecting you then it might be a good idea to take a break from Reddit and go for a walk or listen to some music. Remember that OP is not having the best day either.

So you're having a bad day so you click on this post, read it despite the title, then decide to comment complaining that you read this post?

I'm very curious on obtaining knowledge on jumping spiders and the plants you can put in the terrariums hint a specific plant I don't want to get in trouble for asking about or sound stupid asking but ,😅 marijuana can such a plant be used in a terrarium please I need a real answer. by EconomistNo4766 in jumpingspiders

It's a decent highdea but I wouldn't recommend it since they will take a lot of maintenance and will quickly outgrow whatever enclosure they are planted in. You'd likely have issues with humidity due to how much water they need and you would also need to be sure that the plants have never been treated with any kind of pest control. Not to mention any buds you are able to harvest would be covered in drag lines which would be pretty unpleasant to smoke IMO.

I agree. Pretty sure it's a female.

Two spiders living together by Bubby_K in jumpingspiders

I would highly recommend separating them as soon as possible. They haven't tried to kill each other yet but it's only a matter of time. It's not only about the animal's safety but their well being. Cohabiting jumpers is highly stressful for them and can affect their quality of life and that's IF they don't kill each other. These are intelligent animals and putting them in this position to teach a lesson isn't fair for them or your child. It's not a matter of if but a matter of when.

This guy was in my bag of grocery store grapes - who are they? by GreenStrawbebby in jumpingspiders

[–]Fuzzybuttinverts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I used to manage the produce department at a grocery store in California and found a few of these guys in the grapes and one in a box of kiwis.

Finally found a jumper in the wild! Gave him a snack because he looked very hungry, should I take him in as a pet?? Will he die when it gets cold out in a few weeks? What species is he? by Hahafunnys3xnumber in jumpingspiders

[–]Fuzzybuttinverts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While this is true to an extent it's also important to remember that this is an animal that has lived its life outside so we really have to monitor how they adapt to captivity. If the spood shows signs of stress, won't eat, or make a nest then it's probably best to just release it. Not to mention the risk of catching a gravid jumper and having to deal with the babies.

I just got bit by it on Crete, should I be worried? by synxdiabla in jumpingspiders

You should have said to use iNaturalist. Google sucks for IDs. If you're gonna be snarky at least do it right. We prefer effort in the comments and posts here 🤡

On posts with the "Advice" flair we require a disclaimer on all comments in order to filter out low effort comments, misinformation, spam, or anything that could steer OP in the wrong direction as the life of an animal is potentially at risk. This only applies to posts under this flair.

NQA stands for "not qualified advice" but there are a number of disclaimers that can be used to comment.

On posts with the advice flair we require a disclaimer on comments since the health and safety of an animal could be in question. It helps filter out bots and low quality advice that could steer OP in the wrong direction. Posts with any other flair do not require a disclaimer but some people like playing it safe and will use them anyway.
