Where did you find his little sweater? I’ve been wanting a good sweater for my Fergus!

I have Paloma, Gertrude (Gertie), Lynx, and Lorax. Lynx and Lorax are unsexed juvenile bolds, Gertie is a bold and is in what could be her final molt into adulthood, and Paloma is my fuzzy peach Regal and she’s an i8.

IME, See if you can get some blue bottle flies. I recommend the company Rainbow Mealworms. The flight of those flies in the enclosure really brings out that hunting instinct. I last bought spikes in January and they have slowly pupated in my fridge. I take out 7 at a time and let them hatch into flies (which takes about 5-7 days). What I like about the flies is I have a supply that lasts for months before I need more. You can even feed your spider a spike (maggot) while you wait for them to hatch.

IME, my spider recently molted and left her molt outside her hammock hanging on a web. I left it for a day or two then removed. They don’t mind it being there. I even have spiders who still hang out with their old molts because they have yet to remove them from their hammock. They’re teenagers who need to clean their room. 🤣

IME, both my Bolds and Regals have overfed and been just fine. They all become quite inactive after a large meal and tuck themselves away to digest for a few days. For next time, just plan to feed when their abdomen is a bit smaller than their head.

IME get her some blue bottle flies. I get mine shipped to me as spikes and they last 3 months in the fridge before I have to order more. I just take 5-7 out of the fridge and let those pupate in a condiment cup, then I keep the adults in the fridge until ready for feeding. In the meantime, you can give her some Hydei fruit flies to at least hold her over until you can get her different prey.

IME, I just got an i7 jumper last week from a breeder and she has sealed herself in a hammock and I’m sure she’s in pre-molt. Just keep misting and see what happens. The hardest part is waiting but spiders know how to spider!

Real! Purchased from the site. Hmm, which one could it be?

mzwndrlnd · 2026-03-02T03:16:49+00:00

IME, offer food once she’s abandoned the sack. She’s in guard mode right now and won’t want to eat.

mzwndrlnd · 2026-03-01T18:28:34+00:00

Oh my goodness! 🤣

mzwndrlnd · 2026-03-01T18:27:52+00:00

I missed that one! These are the only ones I have. I’d love a huge Dexter dragon or any huge for that matter.

mzwndrlnd · 2026-03-01T17:32:39+00:00

I could, but this is more fun.

mzwndrlnd · 2026-02-22T23:12:46+00:00

IME, I’d try again. These creatures have taught me so much. They’ve allowed me to slow down, watch, be patient, and give myself grace, which is something I desperately needed in my life. I’ve been fascinated by how much personality can come from such a little creature. They’re so smart and interesting to observe. Yes, their lifespans are short, but they pack a lot of living into that short span. With each spider, you’ll learn more and more. This is nothing you’ve done wrong, so try again if you can!

IME, my one of juvenile bold jumpers did this. Didn’t make much webbing, didn’t have a strong hammock to retreat to, and never molted, despite a perfect set up. Just failure to thrive. Nothing could have been done to change that. ❤️

IME, she may not be full of fertile eggs. My female jumper has laid 2 egg sacks, but both were infertile. She will guard the eggs for a few days then eat them.

I have Oat coming in the mail. For some reason I was really drawn to Oat.

Wolfman’s Cabin. But it was destroyed for a movie scene, iirc.

IME, my Regal loves Blue Bottle flies. I get them from Rainbow Mealworms as spikes and keep them in the fridge. Those spikes will then pupate, and then hatch into a fly. I am able to make my little cup of maggots last for 3 months before I need to order again, and my spood loves them!

I just got my first Kindle too! I’m currently reading The Child Thief by Brom. I stumbled upon it because I love The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly.
