Hi, I'm Danielle! I have Regal Jumping Spiders (Phidippus Regius- Salticidae) to ad0pt! �

08/27/2024

It's been a whirlwind- but I wanted to come here and give an update to all of my followers since I haven't done that.

Thank you to all of my wonderful customers who have purchased their sweet spoods from me first of all! This community has been so wonderful to be a part of. I've met so many amazing people.

Yet, my time selling spoods has ended. I donated all of my jumpers back to the pet shop where I got my mamas, and they are finding homes for them locally.
I had one person message me on MorphMarket to get a spood from me who was local, who then ended up going to the pet shop I donated to and let me know that she had already gotten 2 juvie spoods- a female and male- from there.
I thought it was so funny that she still ended up with Regal Arachnid babies that I had raised!

Some months ago I ended up with some really uncomfortable symptoms and it had been a daily fight ever since. I do feel that I am recovering, and that I am very close to answers and treatment.

I have had to give up every source of income, and it's been a real struggle to support my family. We recently moved and that has helped the situation a lot, thankfully.

I do have a gofundme where you can read more of my story and what I've experienced, though I haven't updated there since moving. I will share the link in the comments below.

I am sad that my time raising sweet jumpers has ended for now but who knows- maybe one day in the future I'll do that again. It all started with a mama Bold who we named Petunia, who laid a clutch that I raised and then released in my garden 2 years ago. Then my sweet Bold male Tiger, and then, I got a Regal female who of course happened to be gravid, and who gave me tons of babies who needed homes since I'm in California.

I'm so grateful again for all of you who have gotten spoods from me, and for all of the friends who I have made along the way.

Thank you all for following my page, for trusting me, and for the friendship. I am so grateful.🖤

Gahhhh! This sweet girl just molted to her 7th instar and I've got a few others who look just like her too. I had to take a few updated pics. She was a little annoyed by me since she was eating her first worm since she molted.

Such a stunner. She is a pretty bright orange color.

Her chels are like an oil slick color but that's really difficult to capture in a photo without the right lighting.

She's listed on the Regal Arachnids MM as N25.

I have a really handsome juvenile male who is in a light phase currently from Nebbie's first clutch! He is listed on the Regal Arachnids MorphMarket store as N9. 🖤

This post is for educational purposes and not to shame or blame.

I had a customer reach out who had gotten a Regal female from me from Moon's clutch last year in October.

She noticed that her girl was leaking hemolymph on her web, and that her abdomen is slightly leaning sideways.

The abdomen leaning to the side is characteristic of abdomen separation when the abdomen separates from the cephalathorax (head). Unfortunately this is almost always fatal for the spider.

This happens in Captive Bred spiders most often due to overfeeding, and can be avoided.
While this female doesn't look as overfed as I've seen with other abdomen separations, she was likely very full when this happened. You can tell that the hemolymph has dried to her so it may have happened days prior to this photo.

Feeding is a very important topic when talking about jumping spider husbandry. Many hobbyists who are new to this hobby assume that their spider needs to eat every few days, or every week, and will offer them prey that often. However, a jumping spider at maturity will never need to eat this often, and maybe even only once per month or less , depending on activity.

When a jumper is at sling or juvenile age, feeding is much different. At the sling stage, a jumper can eat flightless fruit flies everyday, and they can safely get pretty plump without causing harm to them. At juvenile stage they can eat mini meal worms every few days or so. Even at this stage being more plump is not as dangerous as at maturity. But you can start to feed less and won't offer prey when they are already fed.

It's also important to consider the size of your jumpers prey when feeding as well, since prey that is much too large can lead to an overfed spider too. I do my best to feed prey that is roughly the same size as the spider.

At maturity especially, a jumper risks falling and rupturing or separating the abdomen from the cephalathorax. Hemolymph will not always be leaking from the spood in abdomen separation like in the photo, but the abdomen will look slightly leaned to the side.

Hobbyists who keep tarantulas use super glue or flour in abdomen rupture or sometimes corn starch to stop the hemolymph. This is much more difficult to do with a smaller jumping spider. I have used the corn starch method once before myself for a jumper and she still unfortunately did not make it through her next molt, though it did buy her a little extra time.

It's important to always feed your jumper based on abdomen size, and not every few days or weekly. The amount of time between feedings can vary a lot, so feeding based on abdomen size is most safe for the jumper.

Mature males should always be slightly thinner than females when fed, and may go longer periods between feedings. Lots of hobbyists have trouble getting their mature males to eat. The method I use has always worked like a charm to get them to eat- put them in a separate feeding container with the prey in natural, indirect light. They will take the prey shortly after doing this if hungry.

When a mature female's abdomen width is less than the cephalathorax, you can offer her prey.

Abdomen separation can happen even if a jumper isn't overfed, but is much more common when overfeeding.

Please always feed your jumpers based on abdomen size alone for their safety and health. It is always hard to lose a pet and in this hobby, losses unfortunately are more common since we can't just take our jumper to the vet.

Educate yourself and know that your jumper can go quite a long time without feeding and they can still be perfectly healthy. Some mature spoods are hammock potatoes and will need to be fed even less often than those who are more active. Education and following the advice of more experienced hobbyists is always a good idea. 🖤

Just a few of the available females I've got who are looking for new spood families. Send me a message to inquire🖤

I just added a few more i5 female Regals to the Regal Arachnids MorphMarket store! And I'll be adding more slings this weekend, including a few of the Bold slings finally.

These babies are all personable and great with handling. It's usually super difficult to take clear photos of slings this small since they're always moving. 😆
Thankful I was able to get a free decent photos.

Annnnndddd....

Mama Nebula is preparing to lay her 3rd clutch of eggs since she's been with me!

I've now got around 300 Regal babies from the 2nd instar to the 5th. Soon I'll have some spoods who are molting to the 6th instar.

🖤🥰

M39 enjoying her last meal with me before going to a new home.
I've got M22 and she's the last female from Moon's clutch that I have.
I've thoroughly enjoyed raising these spoods and finding them all homes.
I hope that Ms M39 has a wonderful life with her new family. 🖤

05/23/2024

Check out this beautiful
desert huntsman (Im not sure of the scientific name) female I saw at the pet shop! I would LOVE to bring this gorgeous girl home!
🖤

05/23/2024

I just added a couple more females and 1 male Regal- i5 to my MorphMarket store Regal Arachnids!

Go check them out and keep an eye on my store because I'll be adding more slings this week🖤

05/22/2024

M22 and M39 are both on sale right now! I'm hoping to find each of them homes soon. Both are sweet girls who are used to regular handling. They have both matured within the last 6 months, and are about 18 months old now and are healthy.

Please reach out with any questions or for a shipping quote! 🖤

My daughter doing her schoolwork with her spood.🖤 She intently watches my daughter and just chills next to her on her enclosure.

This girl was from Moon's clutch and was one of a few of the what I'd call "runts." My daughter loves her and handles her on her own often. Her name is Amy Rose and she is a mature female Regal. 🥰

05/12/2024

I'm separating and listing some i5 Regals on MorphMarket today!

There's only a few right now so be sure to go sn**ch one up if you're interested in a sling from Mama Nebbie. 🖤

I 🛳 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to the nearest FedEx hub then you'd pickup on the day of arrival. Home 🛳ing is available but this does void any LAG.

Send me a message for a shipping quote! I get a discount and some are as low as $21 for 2 day.

So excited for the hustle and bustle of spood season. 🥰🫶

My oldest daughter who is terrified of spiders and bugs sent me this video today, and I'm so proud of her!
She's slowly warming up over time, and is definitely much less afraid of jumping spiders than she used to be. Even so much that she sent me a video of a Bold Jumper she found🖤

05/09/2024

Nebbie's 2nd clutch with me started to emerge yesterday!
Last night I separated them into 2 cups- the babies who emerged and the rest in another cup who are still in the nest. They'll come out over the next few days and then I'll be able to count them.
I'm guessing there's a little over 100 babies.
If so, I've now got around 250 Regal slings from i2-i5.
I'm going to give Nebbie a nice juicy worm and wait for another sac soon.

Pro tip: if you're waiting for your spood to lay, make sure she's well fed. Once she's had a nice big meal, she will be ready to lay her eggs and to take a break from eating for a while. She needs a big meal to supply lots of energy that she'll need to lay her eggs and stay with her babies for around 6 weeks. 🖤

This little orange i7 Regal female is so cute! She recently had her 7th molt and is super friendly. She is available for adoption and is listed in the Regal Arachnids MorphMarket store as N1.🖤 #regalarachnids #morphmarket #instapet #petsofinstagram #phidippus #petstagram #spider #regaljumpingspider #phidippusregius #salticidae

This little subadult boy is reserved, but I wanted to share his cuteness with all of you! He is an adorable male Regal who is playful and friendly. I am so glad that he's found his forever home🖤 #regalarachnids #morphmarket #instapet #petsofinstagram #phidippus #petstagram #spidersofinstagram #spider #ExoticPets #regaljumpingspider #salticidae

These Itty bitty instar 6 female regals were both just added to the Regal Arachnids MorphMarket store! They are in order from shown in the video-N2 and N1. Both just had their 6h molt and are ready for new homes. They are active, healthy and good with handling. Please send me a message here or on MorphMarket on their listings and I'm happy to get you a shipping quote. 🖤 #phidippus #phidippusregius #salticidae #regaljumpingspider #Regal #jumpingspider #jumper #spider #spidersofinstagram #pets #petsofinstagram #petstagram #exoticpets #instapet #MorphMarket #regalarachnids

This tiny spooder kitten has orange and black coloration at the 5th instar. Of course, colors can change pretty dramatically with each molt so color is never guaranteed into maturity unless you get a spood when it has already matured. I am hoping that I'll have some pretty Halloween spood girls in Nebbie's clutches, though! This is N13 on the Regal Arachnids MorphMarket. She's ready for a new home. And me a message for a shipping quote. I ship across the US. 🖤 #phidippus #phidippusregius #regaljumpingspider #jumpingspider #jumper #salticidae #morphmarket #regalarachnids #Regal #spiderkitten #kitty #herekittykitty #spidersofinstagram #spidergram #petstagram

This little jumping bean was just listed on my MorphMarket store! She's listed as N8 and did so well with being handled. She loved jumping all over my hand then found a cozy spot to groom herself. I apologize for the shaky video. I've got to figure out how to record these tiny spoods while keeping a steady hand🖤 #phidippus #phidippusregius #regaljumpingspider #Regal #jumpingspider #regalarachnids #jumper #salticidae #MorphMarket

This little i5 Regal Male's head tilt game is strong! As I was photographing him, he was so interested in me. This is why we call them web puppies! 🐶 Or I like to call them spoodles 🐩😆. This adorable boy is listed as N5 on my MM store.

Mama Nebbie laid her egg sac and is working hard to cover it with her web. Then she'll diligently guard it for the next 4-6 weeks until her babes are ready to leave the nest. She's such a good mama spood🖤 #regalarachnids #morphmarket #phidippus #regaljumpingspider #regal #exoticpets #salticidae #jumper #petsofinstagram

🥹Feeding and cleaning Nebula's babes today I noticed that they have started to molt again! I've now got a mix of i2 and i3 Nebula slings. They are so adorably cute. They love to come out of their cups- Waving their tiny arms as to say "hello world!" I apologize if the video isn't the steadiest. It's super difficult using a phone to have a steady hand while zooming in.

The last of Mama Moon's females that I have- is the lovable M22. This little girl is trusting and spunky! She jumped off my hand, and when I put it out for her to climb on, she didn't hesitate, even though she could have chosen to turn any which way on the floor. She is looking for a new spood fam.

Hi friends! I know I've been absent from the spood scene for a couple of months🫣. Since I haven't been shipping, biz has slowed way down. I've done some local pickups but that's about it. I've still got spoods who need homes from mama Moon's clutch- 2 adult females who just recently molted to maturity, 3 subadult females, lots of subadult to adult males, and a couple juvenile females and males from mama Kitty's clutch. For now, shipping is totally dependent on temperatures above 40° and even then I'd highly suggest overnight for the safety of the spiders until it warms up. I still don't know why but so many of Mama Kitty's clutch failed to thrive. Lots of them refused to eat and drink and I don't know why that happened. The ones I've got now are doing very well and are eating and thriving. This is my newest female who I've added to the Regal Arachnids family. I also added a beautiful and very large male Regal a couple of months ago in attempts at breeding him with some of my females. Well, that was interesting. For whatever reason, both of the females I tried to pair him with showed aggression to him, so have refused him. I've tried multiple times with no luck. They both lunged at him which I've been told is pretty strange. He did a great job dancing for them, so I'm quite sure that Emmie and Princess Peach are just extra spicy- both of them. Idk what else it could be. 😆 This beauty here is Nebula. She is quite large and is SOOOO sweet! There's a chance she may be gravid but if not, my fingers are crossed that she'll accept Boss, my male who I have absolutely fallen in love with. I'll have to post a video of him soon too for all of you to check him out. He's the largest male I've ever owned and is also just the sweetest boy. I hope that you've all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Just thought I'd post this video of Nebula and give you all an update for Regal Arachnids. Hoping for Nebula to give me some clutches of babes. I didn't even

M18b on the Regal Arachnids #MorphMarket store just had her subadult molt and needs a new home! She is super precious and didn't want to go back into her cup so I had to let her chill with me for a little while. She would be a great addition to your spood fam. 💜 Send me a message if you're interested in adopting her. #salticidae #phidippus #phidippusregius #regaljumpingspider #regal #jumpingspider #spider #cutespider #cute #MorphMarket #exoticpets #pets #regalarachnids

M140 on the Regal Arachnids MorphMarket store is looking for a new family! She's a super precious subadult girl who got so excited to come out today and explore. She examined everything she could very carefully and tapped her fluffy palps up and down like a puppy wagging it's tail.😍 If you'd like to adopt her, please send me a message. Just a heads up- I'm currently waiting for my boxes to arrive before I can 🛳, however, I can still mark her s0ld to you, and book your 🛳ment for you. 💜 #salticidae #phid #phidippus #phidippusregius #regal #regaljumpingspider #jumpingspider #spiderpet #cutespider #cute #regalarachnids #MorphMarket #spiderlove
