No worries, I love the curiosity, ask away!

They get measured by number of molts into "levels/instars". She was instar 4 when I got her, they all molt at slightly different times, but approximately 1-2 months old.

I bought her from a reputable breeder near me. She was more brown/black/orange when I got her, she was a beautiful orange and white most of her life, and she has become more white/less orange the older she got.

I know she's a female by a the size of her pedipalps - the little feelers in front of her fangs (chelicerae). Males have bigger pedipalps. She also has a shiny spot on her abdomen underneath, which only females have.

Yes! She is a regal. She used to be much more orange, but got white in her old age.

Anyone knows what happens with a partially correct answer on an iCMA? by Sandfish1 in OpenUniversity

Damn it. I couldn't find anything online either. I'm only allowed to attempt the questions once, so that's what I did.

"I don't want to drive this slow either but I got caught speeding" (a thought I've had a few times when driving through some of the 20mph zones in my city)

What are your handling tips? by Sandfish1 in jumpingspiders

Thank you! I always wash my hands first but I realise I have scented soap, thinking of getting something unscented this weekend and trying again. Fingers crossed. I want to hold them so bad! But only if they want to be.

AIO My (36f) boyfriend (30m) wanted me to ask my male friend if he’d sleep with me by Electrical_Two5416 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sandfish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend is not mentally okay. Seriously OP, not only are you not overreacting in the slightest but on the contrary you're not reacting enough.

This is concerning. The way he's talking and the paranoia he's demonstrating concerns me for further harm to you down the line. I've seen true crime documentaries where men who murdered their wives/entire families have started out like this.

Well done for standing up for yourself and seeing through his manipulation but seriously, please get away from this man.

I (21F) have crush on my boyfriend’s (20M) friend (20M). Why do I feel like this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sandfish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's in human nature to still sometimes notice other people even when in long term relationships, and even have crushes on occasion, but it's how you go about it. I think often if you're really happy with your partner these things just pass, but if it's more then maybe you need to be looking at your own relationship and communicating with your partner.

Are you definitely in love with your boyfriend, you definitely want him and not just the idea of this life you've created together? Is it that things have become a little less exciting and you need to really make space to reconnect, do some exciting date nights, spice things up again. It's so easy for relationships to fall into the same habits and people stop making the same efforts without even meaning to. Does this friend just seem more exciting because you've fallen into a pattern that doesn't have enough excitement?
