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. 🖤

07/08/2024

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🖤

05/25/2024

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.

🖤🥰

05/24/2024

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! 🖤

05/13/2024

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. 🥰🫶

05/09/2024

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. 🖤

05/08/2024

I have exciting news! One of Mama Nebbie's babies from the first clutch has molted to the 5th instar.
This means that soon this clutch will be available for adoption!

Nebbie's second clutch is getting ready to emerge from the nest as well.

While I don't guarantee s*x this young, my educated guess is female for this sweet spoodle. 😍

04/30/2024

This is only one reason why I keep my slings living communally until around the 5th instar.

Here are some pics of Mama Nebula's first clutch sharing their food with each other. Usually 2 slings will share a fly once in a while. But I caught 3 sharing as well.
How cute is this!

These were the larger species of flightless fruit flies so there was plenty to share.🖤

04/29/2024

Hi spood lovers!

I've now got Bold Jumping Spider aka Phidippus Audax slings who are starting to molt to the 5th instar so who are or will be ready for adoption very soon!

I'll be listing one i5 uns*xed Bold sling on my MorphMarket store later today after taking some pics and will be sure to post a reel here so you can see it's cuteness.

Just a reminder that I do have 2 adult female Regals up for adoption, about 15 adult male Regals and a couple of juvenile male Regals as well.

I'll be working this week to add the available spoods to my MorphMarket store Regal Arachnids. You can keep checking there for updates but I'll be sure to let yall know.

Exciting news! Mama Nebula's most recent clutch will emerge very soon so I'll have even more slings to take care of. There are definitely less than the first clutch. Mama Nebbie came out of her nest today likely searching for food so I gave her a worm. She took it right from the tweezers.

Nebbie's first clutch is now molting to the 4th instar so it won't be long until I've got i5 regals who are old enough for adoption!

Here's a photo of the most recent clutch of Nebbie's.

Mama Goldie is finished laying for good since her clutch was very small and she didn't lay again. She'll live out the rest of her life lounging around relaxing after her tiring season of motherhood.

🖤

03/31/2024

You all know what this means right?

Mama Nebbie is about to lay sac number 2 with me! 🥳

I've been waiting since her last big meal since she was looking very plump- for her to lay her next egg sac.

I can tell because this isn't the typical jumping spider "hammock" nest- or even molting sack.

The bubble like structure she's built around her tells me that this is where she's chosen to care for her next sac of babes, though not at all in the same place as last time.

I also opened it to make sure that it's not attached to the floor of her enclosure. She built it just perfectly so that I can still open it to mist and remove the sac when that time comes.

This mama is a BUSY mama🖤

03/22/2024

While I missed taking care of tiny slings, I definitely didn't miss the fruit flies all over my kitchen😆

I got a rough count of the slings.

Goldies clutch is only about 30 slings, maybe a few less.

Nebula's clutch is about 165.

😍

03/20/2024

Hey everyone! It's finally Spring! Which means I can ship jumpers again. 🥳
I still have CB Regals- from juvenile to adult. 2 separate clutches. I've got 3 adult females who are all just the sweetest girls, and then I've got one subadult female from that clutch.
All of my spoods are used to handling and are very personable.

I have about 25 males- a few subadult and the rest adult.

Please send me a message for 🛳ing quotes!

Happy Spring! 😊

A couple pics of Mama Nebula's (Phid. Regius)
slings today before cleaning and feeding.
I have been so busy that I haven't had time to rehouse some of these slings, but I am going to be separating some of this clutch into smaller groups.
They are doing just fine this way- I just find that feeding and cleaning is much easier to manage with clutches that aren't too large being housed altogether.

I do house my slings in groups until they are around the 5th instar. This is because they just do better this way.
It's been observed that when Regius slings are housed individually right out of the nest, there are usually a lot more losses from that clutch. Many fail to thrive this way. I've even heard of instances where entire clutches fail to thrive because they've been housed individually straight from the nest.

I believe this is because they do help each other at this age. They learn how to hunt from watching their clutch mates. Sometimes they share food. They nest close together and share hammocks.

And while at an older age the Regius' are cannibalistic, I've never seen slings at this instar cannibalize their clutch mates.

How cute are their little faces! 😍

03/19/2024

Goldie's slings have started to molt for the first time since leaving the nest!

I now have i3 Phid. Audax slings.

Check out the teeny tiny molt!

I took some pics before feeding and cleaning this morning.

In the second to last photo you can see the comparison of an i2 Audax slings and an i3.

At the 3rd instar, the slings get their white markings on the abdomen and carapace, while at the second instar they are still completely black.

I was able to get some pretty good pics.
🖤

Hi spood lovers!👋

As Spring quickly approaches, I just wanted to share a short update here with you all.

I do have a few mature females and one subadult from Mama Moon's clutch available for adoption still. I also have 2 juvenile females from Mama Kitty's clutch, and I have males juvenile to adult, all from both clutches.

If you're interested in seeing the mature females and subadult, check out my MM store. https://www.morphmarket.com/stores/moonspoods/

If you have messaged me and I haven't gotten back to you, please forgive me. I have been very busy with life and running another business as well. I really appreciate your understanding and patience.
I just realized I have 1.3k followers here, so hello if you're new to my page! Thanks for the follow 🥰

I'm Danielle. A single mama who just wanted a Regal pet, who ended up with a gravid female like so many others, and then found them homes. Most of that clutch has been adopted.
However, I really enjoy raising slings. It makes my heart happy🖤
So I recently acquired another gravid female who is absolutely stunning. Her first clutch with me just emerged so I'll be sure to start posting more photos and videos of them here as well as the Bold slings I have.
These slings are only at the 2nd instar, so they should be ready for adoption this summer.

I've got about 40 Bold slings who are i2 and somewhere around 150 Regals or so who are also i2.

They are so tiny and cute! Here's some adorable spooder slings pics of Mama Nebula's clutch (Phid. Regius) for tax. Sorry they're not the greatest quality. I really need to take better pics for you all.

I hope that you've all been well and that you had a great winter. I'm ready for Spring!

Let the spooder season commence 🖤😆🖤

01/24/2024

Meet Goldie the Boldie! 😍 This is my mama Bold aka Phidippus Audax who is sitting on a clutch of eggs currently. She came out to eat today so I finally got a few pictures of her. She's a little shy but I'm sure she'll warm up.

The pet store had her labeled as a "White Phase Bold Jumping Spider." There's no such thing. There is a Bryantae Audax, which can have a white abdomen so I thought she may be Bryantae, but she was in the nest so I just took a chance.

Even if she's not Bryantae, I'm excited to have some Bold babies late Spring hopefully, that will be ready for adoption!

I named her Goldie because of her gold chellies. 🌟

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'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 🐩😆.

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.

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
