The always amazing Faber Laser Co have been hard at work putting the finishing touches to the Arachnamoria adult enclosure, so now I can give you a sneaky peek 🤫 lots to do behind the scenes still so you can have a proper look very soon.

06/09/2024

A gaggle of Goblins, a scrum of Soroas, and the very last little Isla De La Juventud bean from Desdemona and Yorick.
All these are on the website looking for their new homes 🧡🩶🖤🤎

05/09/2024

Baby Goblins and the brand new Soroa line will be going online tomorrow.
Including Goblin Boo, who is far too cute to be spooky when lurking in the shadows.
Unfortunately, photographing them on a rainy day is hard. They sense the rain and are all in their hammocks and refused to come out no matter how much I assure them it doesn't rain indoors.

03/09/2024

As soon as the lovely Melanie suggested the name Nyx when it came to my 19 new arrivals, I knew exactly who would gain this moniker.
This here is the dark and glorious Nyx. She had two little orange spots on her head, and bright green chelicerae. I'm looking forward to watching her grow up and hopefully a date with a Goblin boy in the future, or maybe a new line of dark Floridas 🤔 decisions decisions.

02/09/2024

Portia the Soroa has raised some beautiful bright orange babies. They will be available to rehome this Friday.
You can read more about her and Mercutio on the breeding pairs section on the website.

30/08/2024

Baby Goblins are now on the website including a little female with green chelicerae and a very silver male

29/08/2024

Edited to add: baby spoods going online tomorrow afternoon.
I'm back! Bit soggy and a bit groggy, and although it was lots of fun, it's so nice to be back home with my spiders.
I was very excited to see Calliope the monochrome Apalachicola has laid a massive clucth of eggs, I was also greeted by a 6th clutch of Goblins dispersing as a horde.
I was back to work today, packing orders and pairing spiders. Cobweb (pictured) had a wonderful date with the massive Atlas. Hopefully, I'll see big grey Florida babies in a month or so.
And yes, she does have teal chelicerae.

27/08/2024

How about these gold chelicerae on the cutie patootie Thalassia?! I thought they were green till I got a closer look.
I will be travelling home tomorrow and looking forward to getting back to work.
Yes, I know that's a weird thing to say, but I do love my spider wrangling job.

23/08/2024

Artemis showing off her emerald smile! So many of this batch of goblins have been blessed with green chelicerae.

22/08/2024

Holiday reading: Book 1
Written by my favourite professor with a passion for jumping spiders. I have read many of her research papers so when I saw she'd written a book it was a must!

20/08/2024

Meet Electra, the absolutely stunning and outrageously fluffy, latte lady with the violet chelicerae.
If you don't fall in love with her, there just might be something wrong with you 🤭
She's 8th instar, and I can't wait to see how she grows.

19/08/2024

I attended my nieces wedding last Tuesday and it gave me the perfect opportunity to put on some of my spider bling. The earrings are my new favourite and I'm chuffed to have found a broach to match.
A Spider Wrangler must always look her best 😜

17/08/2024

THIS SPIDER WRANGLER IS ON HOLIDAY TILL 30/08

It was a happy accident that little orange lady with pink chelicerae hopped onto a pink stone (from a T enclosure I was cleaning out for her) and was against my red mango wood wrangling table, so that it matched her colouration beautifully.

16/08/2024

Today, I have been unusually busy. I've been settling in 19 new spiders at there forever home here at Arachnamoria.
19 new Florida bloodlines to help me grow my spooder business (and create another 5000 goblins).
Now, to name them all, the current theme is Greek and Roman mythology, so I have lots to go on.
Here is one of the many beautiful spiders in the bunch.

15/08/2024

Pretty Beatrice showing off her galaxy chelicerae.

I will be on holiday next week so orders will be processed once I return on the 30th.

12/08/2024

This Spider Wrangler will be at a wedding tomorrow (Tuesday, 13th Aug), so I may not be able to respond to messages.

Puck was out exploring the pot plants today, taking a well-earned break from her 5th sac of Goblins.
She looks just like her momma, Neil 🥹
How is everyone holding up in this heat? Lovely weather, if you're a regal jumping spider, not so much of your a Spider Wrangler 🥵
I am misting the enclosures (and myself) multiple times today.

The Uncomfortable Truths of a Spider Wrangler:

Husband: Is that one of yours?
Me: No, I haven't lost one in ages, thank you.
Also me: *squints* Dammit Mac, not again. You're showing me up

Me at a meal with friends: Its the little waves mostly and the fact that they all watch me. I mean, it's super cute when they tilt their heads. It's the cartoon eyes, I think, or the fluff. I mean, tarantulas are fluffy, but they lack the personality...
Friend: You really like spiders, huh?
Me: Good lord, how long have I been talking? What did you ask again?
Friend: I asked what you were drinking...

Muscular Specialist Doc: Of course, this could be a repetitive strain. What do you do for a living.
Me: I breed jumping spiders.
Doc *laughing for 5 minutes straight*: Now that is a first. I have to text my wife to tell her.

Me *trying to get a spiders attention: Psssp Pssp psssp! Nope, wait, that's for a cat.
- sometime later that same session -
Me *trying to get a spiders attention again this time by whistling*
Dog arrives: you whistled?

Me: Look at your little face! Aren't you just the cutest!
*attempts to lean in and kiss little spood... remembers spood is only teeny and cannot be kissed*
Spider: Oooo nose hole
Me: Arrrrggg! Noooooo, can't snort spiders. That's a different type of spider addict.

Me: thats all the spiders enclosures revamped and looking awesome. Wait... why don't you have a name lable? Who are you...?
*scans other spiders' names*
Why are their so many... what's your name, who are you? WHO ARE YOU?
*3am that night*
Nigel!
Husband: Who the hell is Nigel

Me *making up cute names for spiders but googling them in case they are real words that mean inappropriate things*
Nope, I can't call you Fluffer 😳

Lovely spider addict: Oh my goodness, how do you get so great pictures of all your baby spiders? What's your secret?
Me: *cue ptsd flashback of the spider who vanished towards my feet, so I had to freeze like a statue while I scanned the floor for them. The spider who made a run for my absentmindedly placed coffee mug. The spider who found a hole in the bark and wouldn't come out (i kept him and named him Nook). The spider who would only show me his butt when I wanted a shot of his face. The spider who only showed me their face when I wanted a photo of their butt. The spider who knew how to sit still till the moment I pressed the button and then ran like fury. The spider who went up my sleeve. The spider who vanished into thin air. The spider who pooped as I took the picture. The spider who kept jumping on the lens. Goblin warfare at its most brutal that left me with so many out of focus photos my phone crashed. Me, sobbing into some bright green reindeer moss. Watching the fruit flies, at least a dozen of them, floating in my undrunk stone cold coffee. I finally reply with a tremble in my voice*
Lighting, my secret is lighting.

Me to my two children: Why don't you help me pick some names for my 2 hold back spiders
Me right now: Hey spider addicts, meet my two new spiders: Princess Vaporeon Sparkle Moon, and John Skibidi Ohio Ceena.

10/08/2024

While cataloguing my notes from some of the recent research papers I've been pouring through, I discovered this absolute darling exists.
This is a female from the Cylistella jumping spider genus and how cute is she?!
She's ridiculously cute is the answer.
Her kind stretch across most of Brazil and Mexico, and she is just 2mm fully grown.
I think I may pass out from sheer cuteness.

09/08/2024

Some of my new spiders; these three are from the wonderful Charlotte’s Webs.
Sol is the little yellow Phidippus Nikites, Eros the baby Phidippus Regius Bahamas, and a first for Arachnamoria; Vermax the Gandanameno.
Thank you so much, Charlotte, they are the cutest 💜🩷🩶

08/08/2024

My beautiful black and white beauty, Calliope, is all grown up. Isn't she just stunning?!
I hope she'll bring me some stunning monochrome Apalachicola babies.

07/08/2024

What can I say...? I'm absolutely honoured to have so many people following my journey and supporting my small business. I can't do any of this without you wonderful people (well that and a butt load of spiders.)

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so very much.

Bringing you all the wonders of my beautiful and crazy spiders is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Watching them grow in their new homes brings me so much joy.
Thank you for your endless support.
Next stop 5k 😝
Lots of happy tears and hugs,
Sian the Spider Wrangler

03/08/2024

Lovely day catching up with Charlotte’s Webs, The Phidippus palace and Spink-Bugs & Bits - New I may have come home with a few new spiders (including the adorable Zeus, some ants, and a moth 🤭

03/08/2024

All ready for the The Great Ant Exhibition in Bristol. Should be great fun

02/08/2024

I have so much to do but on days like this it is very easy for a Spider Wrangler to become distracted making friends with the locals.
This teeny 2mm bibby Marpissa muscosa (fencepost jumper) was out hunting.
I am far too familiar with jumping spiders, spotting this one 3 meters away from me by watching the way a dark dot moved across the wall.
I also smell like minty sage now because I had to climb into the herb planter to make friends with the little spood.

31/07/2024

This beast of a machine will soon be working on the first of the Arachnamoria brand enclosures thanks to the efforts of Faber Laser Co
I'm so excited to show them off to you all

31/07/2024

Lots and lots of babies on the website
PLEASE NOTE DIPPERS CHELICERAE WILL NOT BE BLUE. She has not long come out from moult and she will most likely have pinky purple.

30/07/2024

Look at this lil man 🥹
Isn't he just the sweetest little meep.
Silver males are by far the highlight of my Goblin lines. (Rehomed) He's looking for a new home because I can't keep them all 😅

28/07/2024

What a show!
Practically sold out, absolutely exhausted and horse from all the spider talk.
Sorry if I missed anyone, it was so wonderfully busy.
Huge thanks to the Invert Shows UK team for a fabulous event in Bristol.
I'm off to bed now 🥱

28/07/2024

A standard day here at Arachnamoria

I got my proof copy 😁 It will be available to buy from Arachnamoria.co.uk and Amazon very soon!

Ophelia off for a wander around her plant.

Cosmic Creepers

Love my little superstar ✨️

🌟Superstar Update🌟 Icheb is settling really well into his new custom made Creepy Condo Enclosures. Thank you so much for making something so special for him. He has been exploring it constantly and loves to sit on the ledge and spy on the world. He managed to catch his first greenbottle that wasn't disabled, he looked so proud of himself. The ledge is great to help him readjust his prey while eating as he doesn't have the palps to act as hands.

I have finally managed to capture the after moult death curl. As frightening as that sounds it's actually all part of the natural moulting process of a jumping spider. The way their muscles work is a little like a hydraulic system. After they shed their exoskeleton, the muscles contract under their body (which is what commonly happens in death). However in moulting, after a short while the fluids start to circulate again, and as the muscles relax the spider regains their familiar spoodery shape. Normally this process happens in the secrecy of their hammock, but this little chap made his hammock thin on the side and was in the right position for me to film without needing to disturb him at all. The whole process took about 30 minutes but the video has been sped up so you can watch the unfurling.

Neil saying 'thanks for the fly!' The last of the website stock updates before my holiday next week, with starter homes and silk hides.

The beauty with the cosmic chelicerae

My little velvet nightmare chowing down on breakfast. Lupin came to me as a tiny 2nd instar and I was convinced he'd just keel over at any moment from being so small. Now he's mature and being a tarantula. I know, I know, I should be working on my essay but look at that face!
