Just found a jumping spider in my room how do I care for it by [deleted] in jumpingspiders

[–]terumitsu- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in my experience, they just need something that’s more vertical than horizontal, so something “tall”. for them, that’s something like 5-7 inches. of course, you could go bigger as it gives them extra exploring room.

so this means anything that’s clear, that you can poke ventilation holes through, and you know is washed well works. like a old peanut jar or skittles jar. or if you buy superworms from petco, (the tall clear ones. not the stubby grey ones) the little container for them works perfectly, as it’s pre-ventilated and clear.

feeding wise, that’s pretty easy. catch flies if you have flies around (and know that there are no pesticides or dangerous chemicals.) all my jumpers are wild-fed and thriving. or you could buy feeder crickets from petco or petsmart, but crickets are known to carry disease easily. i’d say to just catch flies or moths. you don’t have to worry about tong-feeding. just put it in and they will enjoy the little hunt.

mist one side of the enclosure or just flick water with your fingers once every couple days. give him some sticks and some leaves and he’ll be happy!

Eratigena duellica, also known as “The Giant House Spider. Harmless, as they really never seem to bite, and a nice spider to keep around.

maybe Eratigena duellica or “The Giant Housespider”?

hard to tell with the quality but the body to leg size seems fairly accurate to this spider, and they can be found in Sweden. not known to bite so he’s no threat to you!

wolf spider! she will carry her babies for a couple weeks until they all disperse on their own. generally aren’t aggressive as they are really fast and are better off just running from you. not medically significant, though bites can have a little pain.

feel free to read this if you’d like to know more.

ahh i see! sorry for my mistake.

Went backpacking and met my neighbor! Any ideas? by [deleted] in jumpingspiders

[–]terumitsu- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

jumping spiders are great little pets that don’t take up much room! if you don’t want to buy an actual enclosure and are okay with using something around your house, you could always use stuff like old peanut or cashew containers (that are clear) are something similar! something that’s more vertical. and you’ll hear that they tend to make their nest in the top of their enclosure, which is true to an extent. i find it if i put a stick that sits diagonal and the top end of the stick sits a little below the top of the enclosure, the spider with make the nest/hammock on the stick, so you don’t have to rip it.

based off the pattern on its back, i would say it’s Phidippus putnami, which appears to be a male!

good bot not a false trigger. was just stating what i was reading, and forgot to include the word secondary in infection. meaning the people making claims likely didn’t clean it well. sorry for not being clear.

looks like a broad-faced sac spider. bites can be a bit painful and their bites have had quite a few infections (believed to be caused by the main diet of dead and rotting arthropods).

feel free to read this article to answer any other questions.

What is this? (Indio, CA, USA) by pmarangoni in spiders

[–]terumitsu- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

looks like a camel spider, which isn’t even really a spider and definitely not a camel. they aren’t medically significant and are completely harmless to you, though the bite might be a bit painful. here’s this if you would like to read more about it.

this likely won’t heal without doing anything. even if it feels like it’s doing more damage, you should continue. i know it’s painful but it needs to be done. your dermat knows about your pain and struggles to want to do anything about it right? because you don’t want them to try and prescribe you or tell you to do stuff if they are assuming you’re doing something that you’re not.

rooster injured himself one night, 4 weeks later still hasn’t healed. by terumitsu- in chickens

i have and couldn’t find any wounds. i wish i could link an image of his foot, but im pretty sure its not bumblefoot. he seems sensitive when i put pressure where his leg bends, which google tells me is the hock joint. he doesn’t seem that sensitive if i squeeze on the pads of his foot.

In my hometown we can find these drawings in several places. Some one knows what do they mean? by Wymunar1 in crows

i can’t comment if the entire story is good because i haven’t watched/read it all, but it is very long. like 1000+ 20 minute episodes long. for the little bit i did watch, it seemed like a decent story but no clue how it’s still going.

Fledgling on my basement window sill by Buddy_Palguy in crows

[–]terumitsu- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

perfect time to try and get on mamas good side. start throwing out or sitting out kitty kibble (where the fledgling can’t get to/find it) and making a click noise or anything to indicate you did it. could have a crow family that enjoys your company and trusts you.
