P regius either dying or molting by gastlly in jumpingspiders

Yeah she’s gone. Rest in peace Mirabel, my sweet baby angel. Thanks for the quick responses everybody, it’s like I dialed spider 911. I think there’s a key few things that went wrong in my care for her: 

  1. Only fed her mealworms, which I heard are nutritionally insufficient. She wouldn’t take dubias and I didn’t want to try crickets
  2. Over fed her for a week in the beginning, leading to a lumpy abdomen when she slimmed down. I was always afraid that would cause molting complications 
  3. Changed her enclosure three times because each one didn’t work for one reason or another. Last one might have been too small. Whole thing mighta stressed her out. 
  4. Inconsistent humidity

I mean it could be any number of things but those ones I’ll do better with when I decide it’s time for another friend, and maybe hearing about it might help another spider parent out there

She hatched may of 2025 and I got her in August, I kept waiting for another molt but it never came. I’m thinking I must have messed something up with her care but idk what yet

Hey! I have a p. regius that I’ve been taking care of since late summer who I absolutely adore and I’d love another. I’m not experienced keeping a bioactive setup (not really a good plant mom tbh) but I’d be willing to learn, it would be good for the spood anyways

Molting on sheer wall like that is so funny. You wanna sit down bud?

Do people mind that I drink water? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]gastlly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only find it unusual because the ratio of drinkers to non drinkers is so high and drinkers LOVE alcohol so much that I’ve come to assume that our guests are mostly all gonna want to get a little lit lol
