I managed to get 3 Goblins to sit for their photos today. I hope to add more as they finally show their faces.
Shipping will be late next week (i have scans, tests, and pre-op booking up at the beginning of that week.
Please note that once this weekend is done, there will be no more baby spiders going online. It's a tearful thought that I won't be packing off babies to new homes, and seeing the excited messages come in when they arrive at their destination.
I'm going to miss the crud out of my work.
I have to get going cause I'm making myself sad.
Hopefully, I can reawaken Arachnamoria with a 💥BANG💥 once I'm back on my feet.

Now I remember why I didn't give dates for the next upload of babies; because they are unpredictable balls of chaos who like to remind me that they will be ready when they are ready.
2 baby spiders out this morning, 3 still laughing their legs off at me, and one who hasn't even tried moulting yet.
Troublesome Goblins!
For any new comers to the hobby I shall explain. Up to 200 (Thalassia had 70) baby spiders can hatch over two days, they spend 4 weeks in the web where they will have their first moult, and disperse the nest over 4 days (typically)
From here, they will each moult (how they grow) at a VERY individual rate. Some may take 8 weeks to reach 5th instar, some 10, some 13 or 14, others even longer. I can see when they are getting ready to moult, but this too is a case of "how long is a piece is string" some bosh it out in 24hrs, some 3 days, other 5 days to a week, some even bail out at 4 days, act normal for 2 days then saunter off back into their moult hammock.
So I can only apologise to those waiting for the last baby upload before I shut up shop temporarily on the 2nd, but I made an educated guess and the goblins decided to remind me who's really in charge around here.
They are.
Always.
All hail the chaos Goblins, descendents of Neil the great, rulers of Arachnamoria, conquerors of the Spider Wrangler and all her puny plans.

I'll try again tomorrow 😒

Todays planned baby upload had been postponed due to uncooperative Goblins.
The 6 who I'm waiting on are still lounging in their webs.
I will try again tomorrow.

Managed to harass my first wild jumping spider of 2025.
In my defence they were trespassing and I was very sure I hadn't lost any babies around the house.
Only 7 legs but still adorable, and so teeny.
From the lighter bar marking, I'm going to guess a juvenile Pseudeuophrys Laniger

Thalassias babies are moulting into their 5th as I type, so babies will be up to rehome 16th next week! 🥳

My surgery is booked for the 8th May so I will be closing Arachnamoria from the 2nd of May till 1st of June. Depending on how my recovery goes is how much of Arachnamoria opens up on this date, so I may be back messaging before I am ready to get back to packing and posting.

Thank you all so so much for your messages and comments of support. I am very excited (and a little nervous) to finally have my op and get my life back.
Love you all

Hey Spider Addicts!
I have been quiet for a while as I have been very unwell, darn tumours creating more havoc than the spiders. There is light on the horizon, though, as I am hoping to have a date for my surgery in the next few weeks. After surgery, the recovery is about 12 weeks, so I'll be closing up the online shop, and messages will most likely be unanswered until I start feeling more human. I will give you all as much notice as possible as to the dates everything will close. I'm hoping to be back on my feet about 6 weeks, but it's hard to judge. I'll keep you up to date.
Please note there is also a small chance that the babies I currently have growing might not be ready before my surgery date comes in. I'll pester them to grow faster. If they don't grow fast enough, I will enlist help to rehome them while I convalesce. Once again, I'll keep you all updated.
Thanks for all your support.
Kind regards
Sian the Spider Wrangler

Who are you crazy people who colour for fun?
This isn't fun... this is stressful, addictive and my right hand is cramped into a permanent claw 🤣
I haven't coloured with pencils since I was in school. I thought I'd give it a go at 9am and I'm still here swearing over the paper, losing pencils, forgetting what colour I used where and utterly colour blind now.

Okay, I'm uploading a page from the work in progress of the Arachnamoria colouring book - Flora theme.
I don't know if this will be big enough for you to download, print and have a go at colouring in. If not I'll have to try it over on the website.
I'm waiting for my pencils and thicker paper to give it a go myself too.
Let me know how you get on.
🖤
EDIT: I've popped my cover idea in the comments that I partially coloured in using the digital art app PENUP
