Off the Hook Phids

We're doing a SALE on our Regals! Check out our Morph Market page for reduced adoption rates! THIS APPLIES ONLY TO ORDERS FINALIZED AND SHIPPED BY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19! (We also have captive raised Putnami and Audax available- all Putnami are unsexed- message for details!)

Off the Hook on MorphMarket is owned by Ashley Hentz and located in Springfield, Missouri. We are a small business with a goal of producing healthy, friendly, and beautiful pet jumping spiders. We work with a variety of species and hope to help increase availability of some of the less common specie...

We have our very first set of Regal babies available- limited numbers for now! Message me if interested! They're between i6-i7 currently. There are a few available from three separate pairings (pictures of parents included below)! THESE GUYS WILL LIKELY CHANGE COLORS as they grow and mature.

We make no guarantees on mature color- all three females were high white lines, however only a small portion of females from high white lines will mature to high white. If you're looking specifically for a high white spider, please reach out and let me know as I'll be holding back several until subadult/maturity.

If you were on our waiting list- please reach out! I lost some of my files when my computer crashed a few months ago, unfortunately.

Hatch Dates as listed below:
1. Parkour x Germane: 8/13/23
2. Karat x Germane: 8/20/23
3. Tiramisu x Pod: 9/3/23

PROMO!!
Have you adopted a spider from us? Please leave a review if you had a positive experience (and if you had a negative experience, as always, please contact us so we can make it right!). Once you’ve posted your review, send us a message and you’ll receive a coupon code to use on your next adoption!

Coupons will vary based on order total and all details will be sent to you along with your code (fb likes to get upset when we discuss finances outside of messenger, unfortunately, so I can’t post them here).

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT??
First, of course reviews are helpful as a reference for new clients and help us grow our business and provide you with more spiders and more species. However, what prompted us to make this public is the number of fraud and scam cases that we’ve been hearing about. Customer service and satisfaction is our primary goal here and we hate to hear about some of the awful experiences others have had. Be aware that many great breeders have had their page info and photos stolen and used to create scam pages. We maintain our own website and I have my personal number listed on all contact pages to give customers multiple ways to verify the validity of this page, but we’re not naive to the possibility of fake pages being put up- always feel free to contact me via my personal number for verification prior to finalizing any adoption! And reach out if you ever notice anything fishy going on related to our breeding program or any other reputable breeder’s program so that we can help to prevent others from having bad experiences. Thanks guys!! Truly appreciate you all!

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. The babies have started back up molting this spring after having slow progress all winter. Our oldest regal clutches are reaching i6. Because they’re so little and from white phase lines we’ll likely start adopting out after i7, so we should have a fair amount of availability soon! If you’re on our list already you’ll be contacted, but feel free to reach back out if we haven’t talked recently! We’ll be posting a related promo in a bit!!

Meet the newest member of the Off the Hook family! I haven’t quite settled on a name yet, but had to share this handsome boy! He’s from Lyfetime Loveable Huggable Poodles & Schnauzers (if you’re looking for a standard poodle pup there are a few still available!) I couldn’t be happier with this boy, he is wonderful. This has been a long awaited dream of mine and it all came to fruition through one of our spider friends! Just one more unexpected perk of being involved in this community!

03/07/2024

There may be some temporary delays in communication while I deal with some family issues. I apologize for any inconvenience- I will try to keep up with all messages to the best of my ability throughout this. Thank you for understanding ❤️

Special!! Message for details on our remaining CB Audax (bold) kiddos! We also have promos for our few remaining WC bolds. Here’s the catch- we’re not doing individual photos of these guys. CB are between i5-i7, WC are between about i6-mature. We keep records of all molts, hatch or collected dates, and send a feeder sample and starter kit with each ad0ption! Plus we offer lifetime support for any questions or concerns you might have! Fr33 ICU kit with 3 or more spiders (while supplies last!). Pictures are of some of our CB babies as an example of what to expect. All CB have been handled since i2/i3! Great starter spoods for those looking for friendly babies!

This might not look like much to anyone else, but this could just turn out to be our first regal baby to reach i6! Nice thick hammock going on. Can’t wait!!

02/11/2024

We’ve been preparing for the Show Me Reptile and Exotics Show for months! If you’re around Springfield, MO- please come by for a great experience! It is a two day event (February 24-25th)- see link in comments for details!

We always strive to offer more, but we’ve been able to prepare much more for this expo than any in the past. We will have a limited number of juvenile regals, (and if any of our current babies reach i6 before this event we may have a few of these guys available as well!), CB Audax juveniles, and some surprises! We’re going to have some custom enclosures, custom spider themed soaps, some plushies, and more!

One of our newly matured future breeders- check out this boy’s flashy white cheeks ❤️

02/11/2024

Introducing- our new Mystaceus babies! These guys have been long-awaited and will hopefully be the other half of our foundation breeders for this species. I cannot thank Micki’s Montana Micropets enough for giving us this opportunity! The other half of our Mystaceus lines came from another of our favorite breeders, Georgia Jumper Dude. We hope that with the efforts of reputable breeders involved in producing captive bred Mystaceus that they will one day become more available within the hobby as they are truly gorgeous and amazing spiders.

Had a local adoption today and the new owner crocheted this little jumper for me! Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture, it really made my day! Dirt Grub was happy to participate in the little photo shoot to show it off!

01/26/2024

We just welcomed Rivet to our breeding program! We’ve been working toward building a solid breeding line of Bryantae/Big Bend Audax (we have quite a ways to go while we wait for our kiddos to mature), but we just had to share this little beauty!

01/22/2024

These guys are just the best! If you’re around Springfield, MO and need help, reach out to them! And if you don’t need help- go stop in anyway and check out their awesome animals, supplies, and feeders!

EXCITING NEWS! Our good friend at 417SoapLab has been working on some custom soaps for us to offer to our customers! These soaps are made locally by a small family business, are super cute (check out their Etsy shop linked on their FB page for more variety of designs!), AND the spider bars are all spider-friendly and made without added fragrances so you can use them prior to handling without putting your spoods at risk! The only ‘downside’ is that they make such adorable decorations that you’ll never want to use them! Fortunately they’re available at a great price point so you can order some extras to keep on display if you choose!

These ship FREE with any spider order upon request! Or, if you want some soap bars but aren’t ordering any spiders, please contact 417SoapLab directly for amazing deals on custom, beautiful soaps! We truly appreciate your support! Without our wonderful customers we couldn’t continue to pursue our passions. As small businesses, each and every order helps us to grow and support our families and for that we are extremely grateful!

Soap bars will also be available locally at our upcoming expo in Springfield, MO on February 24-25th!

One of our sweet Audax babies in his fantastic new home ❤️ Can’t express how happy we are to see our babies thriving in their new families!

75 likes, 5 comments. “This is one of my newest sweethearts, Robot. We think male, but we’re not totally sure… I got this little love from the Hook and i couldn’t be happier. He likes to be handled and is so expressive and inquisitive.”

Parkour and Germane’s babies are reaching i5. We plan to offer a limited number of these guys at around i6 ❤️

01/01/2024

We’ve got plenty of CB Audax (bold) jumper kids available! Trying to get as many up to date individual photos as I can, but they don’t like to make it easy for me! They’re so friendly that they’re always trying to jump back to me instead of sitting nicely for pictures on anything other than human skin 😂

12/31/2023

Karat and Germane’s first clutch (captive bred regals) are just starting to reach i5! We will be releasing a smaller number around i6 for adoption and keeping back the rest until they’ve matured a bit more.

12/31/2023

Emerald update! Our captive raised emerald’s are currently i3 and will be available to ship at i5. Our captive bred clutch is currently at i2, so we should have plenty of these awesome spiders available soon!

12/31/2023

Putnami update! Our captive raised babies from Forty are getting closer to adoption age. Most are i4 currently and will be available to ship at i5. We hope to have a more steady supply of these guys throughout the spring as we have another sac from Forty and babies who are currently i2/i3 from our captive bred pairing. This is a really cool species, the females are beautiful and the males are stunning. They’re also a very active species and a lot of fun to watch!

12/18/2023

Just wanted to share an update! I’m using this no ship period to get more individual photos of available spiders! Planning to list more available spiders after the 1st! Our regal babies are still i4 at the oldest, same with our Putnami. Our emerald slings are mostly still i3 and we have some i2 clarus as well. Our CB bold babies are getting cuter with each molt and range from i5-i7 at this point. Photo tax is of one of our adopted female Audax. Hope everyone is having a great day and I appreciate your patience during this period of shipping pause!

12/15/2023

This little one just went to a fantastic new home yesterday- these little bolds are just too cute 🥰

12/07/2023

This little jerk escaped a couple days ago, but apparently realized he left the good life behind and came crawling back to the bin of his slingblings. Kinda love him for it 😂. He’s tucked into bed with plenty of snacks tonight ❤️

LAST CHANCE to bring a new spood home for the holidays! We have a few CR dimorphic (Maevia Inclemens), two female Clarus (one pretty red girl and one unique melanistic girl), CB friendly Audax (bold) i6 kids, and some WC Audax juvenile, subadult, and mature. We’re offering some great combo deals (including a freebie mature male Clarus with the adoption of a female). Week of December 4th is our last planned shipping until January! If any of these guys need to be a part of your family or you are looking for something specific not pictured, please reach out asap! You don’t want to miss out on these last chance deals!!

11/26/2023

Some of Karat’s babies (regals) are getting little orange hats at i4! It’s so exciting to watch them grow up! We’re getting closer to our first round of adoptions from these clutches!

11/20/2023

ADOPTED! Last chance to bring this boy home before the holidays! This is Benito- he’s an i7/i8 regal boy and he comes with an optional freebie CB bold baby! Special deal and 🚢 today only! Message if interested!

11/19/2023
