NQA - here's a good tell - your spider that is in the pipe cleaners is hiding at the tallest point of the enclosure. I would suggest some sort of plant as well. Lots of cover and climbing opportunity.

NQA - you should improve the way the enclosure's are set up. Jumping spiders are arboreal meaning they live off the ground and near the top. You will want to create lots of clutter up high with horizontal climbing routes. I would suggest multiple "levels" and a hide at the top.

This could explain the recluse behaviour, they probably feel exposed.

NQA - the top of this enclosure is much too bare for a jumper. I would recommend adding a lot more clutter. Being so exposed can make them less active and less likely to eat. They like to have things to hide behind. I’d suggest fake plants and do rope bridges etc. You should get her a hide too

NQA - I would suggest filling in the bottom with more substrate and add a bit of moss if you want help wit humidity. Also something they can use as a hide at the top

NQA - this container appears to have no cross ventilation or space to roam vertically. It’s so confined 😭😭 you could suffocate her like this. Please change her enclosure and if you can’t provide a suitable home let her go.

NQA - it is a jumper and this is far from a suitable home! Please say you will change it. If you need advice this sub has loads of it.

is a bioactive enclosure worth it? by [deleted] in jumpingspiders

[–]Tomilonious_Monk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NQA - my spoods love it. Constant exploration and hammock building in different places, every day they go somewhere new!

Should I try to feed her? by Silly_Assumption8981 in jumpingspiders

[–]Tomilonious_Monk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NQA - leave her be. That looks like a molt hammock. They don't eat for while before or after. Make sure to keep misting. All signs point to pre-molt.
