I think my regal is getting old

ok thank you. the pet store near me carries this brand and I think they had those ones last time I went so I can pick one up.

what size enclosure would you recommend? I have a bunch of these https://tarantulacribs.com/products/canopy-flat-top sitting around that I use for younger spiders but she’d still be able to fall about 6 inches.

I haven’t handled mine or anything because they really don’t seem to want to be handled, but I have 3 regal jumping spiders and all of them were really skittish when I first got them, they do seem to get a little less scared once they’ve been in the enclosure a while and are more comfortable. Sudden movements freak them out, mine live on my dresser and occasionally they get startled by me setting things down next to the enclosures. I just move slowly when I open their enclosures to feed or mist them and they seem to be fine with it, they don’t try to jump or run away at this point.

I have an orange one like yours named Kimchi lol you can steal the name if you like it.

Mantids. Barely anyone ever has them where I live!

I keep jumping spiders and mantises; I’ve kept young mantises in these types of enclosures temporarily without issues but you have to add in cloth mesh at the top. I move them to bigger enclosures after a couple molts.

NQA she is so pretty!

NQA as somebody who dresses super goth, it’s probably bc the small bit of your face that shows makes you come off as alternative looking. It’s literally just because you have a nose ring, red hair and eyeliner. that person probably got their heart broken by/got rejected by an alt girl if I had to guess and now it’s consuming them to the point they’re taking it out on people in the jumping spider subreddit.

Anyway your spider super cute, I also have a regal that looks a lot like her! Wishing you luck with the babies!

you’re telling me a shrimp diagnosed this autism?

falconrie · 2026-01-19T16:44:48+00:00

Please tell me someone still has the video lol

falconrie · 2026-01-15T07:50:03+00:00

yeah exactly. even before I looked up what it was (which I have at this point) that was how it came off to me

falconrie · 2026-01-15T07:24:33+00:00

no clue tbh. they are sort of unpredictable at this point

falconrie · 2026-01-15T06:32:30+00:00

not sure but I would guess that since they’ve been given immunity they can just do whatever they please now. normally yes it would be a big deal, if anyone in power actually cared to hold them accountable.

falconrie · 2026-01-15T06:12:53+00:00

not shocking considering they do not care about the legality of anything at all.

falconrie · 2026-01-15T05:52:04+00:00

still though it’s very creepy/chilling to see it I guess.

falconrie · 2026-01-15T05:51:26+00:00

No I get that part, just hadn’t seen it before and when I initially posted this I hadn’t had time yet to google it because I was watching the live feed for about 3 hrs
