I've counted like ten of them on my back porch. I'm gonna try this.
Be sure not to put them all together, they are cannabals :)
Howd it go? 💕
@@finthefishsep20toma
I named them, but didn't have the heart to keep them to long. 😄
@@perrywoodman7544 haha i understand that! I like to keep them just over the summer so I can catch mosquitos to feed them :)
If you're housing a regal jumper, then you'd be better off using a substrate geared more towards TROPICAL animals instead of a desert substrate since they're a tropical species. I know you said you don't do this because of mold though but there IS a solution to that problem. Seed with springtails. Springtails are a natural mold control option because they will actually EAT the mold as it grows. Also, I do recommend a larger enclosure as the spider reaches full size. Mine is in an 8"x8"x8" Exo-Terra tank and that seems to be a bare minimum for a full grown regal. Having this type of larger setup is good for both the spider AND YOU! Obviously the spider gets more space to run and jump and do its spidery things while YOU get more space to decorate and play as you set up the enclosure.
Do you still need to clean/exchange the substrate if using springtails? If so, how often do you clean it?
I got my first jumping spider ever, and today I discovered your enclosure from jar, it's great idea! I'm gonna use it. Thanks! :)
Glad I could help!
Great advice . As I delve into learning about these magnificent little creatures. I’m looking forward to the care and housing before I Purchase or go out on an adventure into my yard hoping to find some of them. 😀
I play with little ones all the time...I want a big one to take care of they amaze me...I have allergies and I can't keep anything crazy...these ones seem like they don't bite if you handle them properly...and I have a nice wicked set up thought out...
So true! Also, even if they do bite it doesn’t hurt or break skin
Been looking for this!!! Jumping spiders are so cute!!!
Cute, yep, unless you're very tiny and on the menu! 😁 Look at those fangs...
What a cool idea! It beautiful, functional and different.
I found a Tint one at my room. But not sure how it can in or from where. I do have some bio thing for my geckos tho. Looks like the one in the video
May I ask which brand of mixed desert substrate you're using? Having a hard time locating that but I do like the look of it. Thanks for sharing!
I can't remember, it was quite a while ago.
I believe the one used is the Leo life Mixed desert substrate
Can you mount the mesh on the inside of the lid and when you go to seed your spider taking off the lid doesn't that destroy its home
Because of the way the enclosure stands the spiders make their home on the top of the glass and not the lid.
Hi Stewart your video's are really amazing my friend amazing cheers thanks.
Thank you.
Looking forward to the next one. Thank you!
Another great video Stewart - thank you
Thank you.
Great information 😊👍🏼
Do jumping spiders, need a heat pad or any form of heating please
All depends on the tempreature needs of the spider and what the ambient temprature is in the room.
I like those jars. I use mason jars, and cut from a roll of window screen a 2-3 pieces (so the fruit flies don’t escape) cut to fit the lid. They’re ok but the rounded sides don’t make for taking great pics or video. I really like the flat side of the sweet jar!
Your the freakin man,man.👍mad props
Thank you :)
Blue Peter always bring it from below the table lol
Is that what I did wrong :(
Awesome man thanks!
quality of your video is off the roof
can you use coco fibre as substrate?
is poking holes on the whole lid enough??
A bijou residence that's better than mine! (North of England, damp, no heating, peeling wallpaper, mould on the wall... Sigh.)
They won’t tear through the mesh?
Can you say bottle of water
Hey please next video is how to care huntsman spider ok
how to care celler spider
i found a phidippus audax bold jumping spider and im keeping it
nice
Hey, great video. The enclosure is really nice, but I have a litle problem, my spider is having hard time climbing the class. It seems too slick for him and he's always sliding down. Could it be because he's still too small for it?
It's too wet I guess
A few days later he will put webs on it so dont worry he will climb very quickly after that i have 3 spiders i feed them daily they are cute
What kind of lights do you use?
I use LED lights from IKEA.
Stewart your welcome my friend.
What sort of temperature do they need and lighting
I don't use any heat mats, they are OK at room temperature about 18c - 20c and I use led lights.
Do you still keep the spiders in a glass jar .
Just got my first jumping spider and built an enclosure. Thx for the motivation.I will upload a few macro shots/ Videos on my TH-camChannel soon! I am very happy that my spider eats the little fruit flys I am offering, but I'm open to any tipps.
I'm using hoppers at the moment, they like them alot :)
What do jumping spiders eat
Mostly fly's, but they will eat hoppers or wax worms.
@@StewartWoodArt roaches?
@@victorrosas4944 they can eat roaches as well. Fruitflies are ideal for slings, and mealworms are okay as long as the spider is big enough to handle it,and you remove it at the end of the day, because the worm can turn into a beetle and harm the jumper. Hope this helps!
Well I found a spainish jumping spider in my yard and I was wonder if I can use the the substrate from where I found the spider?
I have moved the spider to a plant in my room but I would like to put it in a enclosure so it doesn't get lost in my house
Hey so I caught a big jumping spider from Danish standards but she got eggs what should I do then and can they all live together if I feed them enough?
Hey, any suggestions on how to make the surface less slippery for my jumping spider? My spider seems to be struggling quite abit to grip onto the plastic surface:-( Appreciate any advice, thanks!
You could always try sanding the plastic a bit for extra texture and grip
Would poking we holes in a container be fine for an enclosure?
As long as they can’t slip through
I feel like you should’ve, It’s ok if you get rocks and wood from the outside. You just need to make sure you boil it
If u got the jumping spider from outside and it’s not bred from captivity why would u need to boil those things when they encounter them everyday all day?
A question what is the easiest thing to feed to a jumping spider because imma talk to my mom and see if I could keep one because I have so many harmless spiders in my backyard also what is the best place to place them in the house
try flies, mealworms are good as long as the spider is able to take it. Roaches as well as long as you remove the carcass.
Shouldn't he have room to jump though? 🥺
Is it safe to use a water cap as the water bowl
You don't give jumping spiders water like that you sprits the encloser with a spray bottle
@@mcartsy0.088 oh ok
@@mcartsy0.088 I've learned that now ha
@@coastercloudy haha sorry I just looked at this and realized it was a year ago that you made the comment haha my bad. 😅
@@mcartsy0.088 your good
Could you use soil from outside instead of substrate?
You can but you don't know whats in it, you can boil the soil to kill anything that might be in it I just find it easier to use substrate.
@@StewartWoodArt but how does that make sense if they legit live in that soil the way it naturally is?
Bruh they live outside hows that gonna kill them they live in the woods grasses trees so I hear this a lot but that’s my point there outside
What about air holes
The front lid has meshing on it, no need for air holes.
@@StewartWoodArt He ran away before I read this lok
Where's the thermometer? Hygrometer? Heater? I find these things to be very useful and important too!
I found that I didn't need them for my jumping spiders as they are not an exotic species.
@@StewartWoodArt Ah that makes sense. Keeping a phidippus regius is a bit different. Having to take that extra mile! Although it is worth it she's very charming
I might try a more exotic species next :)
Yea one crawled into my friends ear.
