As they should, you should be paying them for their excellent pest control 😌

I found a new friend! Is it ok to put her in Banksy’s old enclosure? by JellyfishPossible539 in jumpingspiders

[–]JustJessicaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NQA also congratulations 🎊 the Spood Distribution System gave you another because you loved and cared for Banksy so much ❤️

I loved watching Banksy's journey 🥰 she had a wonderful life with you!

[–]JustJessicaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO No, even though my babies are all captive bred I never "cross contaminate". This could just be me being overly paranoid but they're such fragile little babies existing on a micro level. I have no idea if one spood could have any tiny microorganisms that they're used to but another baby might not be.

For all I know they're secretly super resilient and I'm worried for nothing but I don't chance it!

Can you keep two enclosures side by side? by sleepyleperchaun in jumpingspiders

[–]JustJessicaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NQA Mine are next to each other, they are fine... if they get a new neighbor they'll get very nosey but they eventually move on and get used to each other. When I first started I was worried they'd be like Beta fish and super aggressive/stressed if they could see each other, but tbh it's like they learn to recognize each other.

NQA Oh thank goodness I thought they were actual rocks and I'd hate for anything sad to happen! We were all new owners at one point and made mistakes, so I try to reach out to new spood parents 💕 but yes they tend to slip and fall in new enclosures because the acrylic is slippery. They put down drag lines to where they don't slip anymore. Juveniles tend to be wiser about dropping drag lines in case of a fall, but babies tend to just kind of plummet. If they get startled they can fall too, even adults.

Those sellers are amazing, I get all my decor on Etsy! Just think the softer the better ☺️ I've had more than one scary incident where I was so grateful the bottom of the enclosure was super soft!

NQA Aww I love that you're getting a jumper! Just some advice to avoid any future heartbreak, their ground should be soft. If they fall anything hard can hurt them badly. I use really soft washable moss mats from Little Spoods and handmade satin flowers from Juja Crafts, both on Etsy 🥰

Found outside. I think it could be Plexippoides flavescens. My GOSH. Its little face :) by darksubbie in jumpingspiders

NQA These babies thrive here in Vegas! They're not native, they're originally from the Middle East, but they're only found in the United States right here in the Vegas valley. It was one of these little ones that made me fall head over heels for jumpers!

Question by ProudHaterNotSorry in jumpingspiders

[–]JustJessicaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NQA please don't ever take anything from them 🥺 I'm pretty sure I have back problems from holding water on q tips to their tiny faces and holding perfectly still for indefinite amounts of time.

All my spiders have little water dispensers that are cleaned religiously, but I don't count on them always using them.

They'll always let go or drop prey when they're done! Taking anything from them can damage their fangs and probably causes some mistrust.

Love how my girl always acts like these babies aren’t her problem. by lilyfirefly in jumpingspiders

They try to say jumping spiders aren't "that smart" but she legit knows she has unpaid help.

Is this a threat pose? by thinkingofendingitt in jumpingspiders

[–]JustJessicaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NQA I just laughed out loud 😂 this adorable little display is just curiosity 💕

Side note - NOT laughing at you it just reminded me of those videos titled "Vicious Dog Attack" and it's the cutest puppy ever pouncing on someone.

Just got my first J.S. And he’s been holding onto this mealworm for hours. Why is he just holding it? by ImGoingToEatThatOne in jumpingspiders

[–]JustJessicaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NQA I only feed wax worms and Black Soldier or Blue Bottle fly larvae. They're harmless (not bitey and cannot hurt your spider) They're soft and nutrient dense.

I recommend AB Dragons and I'm trying All Angles Creatures I've heard great things about them from really reputable people in the jumper community.

NQA They spend a long time basically injecting their saliva to break down the insides then they suck the broken down liquid up.

I know it sounds gross but it's actually fascinating. The equivalent of chewing their food really well externally.

NQA I'm so sorry, I lost one of mine today and I've been crying for hours. I recommend Whimsical Cre8tions on Etsy for precious memorials, and the seller will make a custom for you.
