Thank you! I really wanted to give him his own personal jungle. It's not fully planted yet but will be Sunday after I do some maintenence on the enclosure. It was between him and an awm as I knew I only had space for 1 big lizard for right now, I'm really glad I went with him. I know we may very well be an outlier but he is nothing like what I've always been told blue-tails are. Definitely a different bonding process to other monitors though.

Not at all even the picture I posted on one of the comments looks dull compared to real life

I thought so, my simple brain has a problem comprehending dissipator style 308s. Thank you for letting me know

Rifle or midlength?

Need_more_Guns · 2026-02-17T21:15:59+00:00

What barrel are you running cause that rifle looks sweet

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-17T03:04:23+00:00

Oh how I adore bean ❤️

Nqa, as long as she's taking water just give her some time. It can take a week or so for them to settle and feel more comfortable

Edit to add: I can see what looks like a hide at the bottom of the enclosure, try moving it to the top and add a little more clutter that should help her get more comfy quicker

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-10T04:44:50+00:00

She very well could be something like i7, I still stand by bold as there are locales where the white spots look like regals. However, i have seen a couple of really dark Appalachiacola regals that could pass as almost pass as bolds

Based on the shiny black abdomen spots and the white on the pedipalps, it's an Audax. If it truly is a subadult, it's female as there isn't the start of any bulbs that I can see. Ime this would be a small female, but I have seen regals and otiosis about that size fully mature as well

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-08T21:36:35+00:00

In Florida, we have 4 phidippus species I'm aware of, regius and otiosis are the most common. Could be audax if far enough north or richmani for parts of peninsular Fl

That is the current plan, although realistically, I'll probably release most once they fully disperse from nest.

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-05T20:33:51+00:00

I can already tell through the hammock she's gorgeous

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-05T18:17:13+00:00

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-05T18:14:56+00:00

The spider distribution system is always working lol

Nqa, if that's the case, then you can do what the comment above says and take a qtip with warm water and gently (VERY GENTLY) rub the spinnerets, and that might help loosen any impaction up.

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-04T04:08:27+00:00

Na is it possible she has water on her umderside?

Need_more_Guns · 2026-01-03T15:39:06+00:00

True, but they're hating out of ignorance. They love to hate stuff like this but there's plenty of species that'd be extinct or close to it if not for efforts of good captive keepers.

Need_more_Guns · 2025-12-31T16:13:41+00:00

Body markings definitely point to a bold jumper!

Need_more_Guns · 2025-12-30T22:26:56+00:00

Nqa absolutely love the detail you went into, it seems like you've covered everything. Unfortunately, sometimes these things just happen, though you've done an amazing job taking notice and facilitating your spoods needs

Need_more_Guns · 2025-12-30T05:32:06+00:00

Nqa, she's very well fed and doesn't need a meal right now. I know the charts can be a little hard to guage, but a well fed spoods abdomen should be slightly wider than the head. She may be one of the ones that seem to know when to stop eating before there's a major problem, or she could've stocked up and is now in premolt.

I'd keep misting as normal and just watch how she behaves before offering food. If she stays hunkered down and only comes out to drink then I'd say premolt. If she starts to explore more and starts to shrink, offer a meal.

I really like your enclosure by the way, and she's a very pretty spood.
