Hey @Crestcrazy2 is the new young spider you have old enough to 'show off'?

Ok this is jewel and dare I say, she’s the most beautiful jumper I own!
i thought I had her identified as paraphidippus arauntius, but I’m having my doubts.
Can anyone help me!?

She is the most beutiful jumper you own... (sorry others) can't help you with the species only that it's probably not a paraphidippus arauntius...

I really don't like spiders, though I never kill them. This one is really beautiful, however. Which I can say because it isn't near me!

Ok big update y’all!!!


I have been keeping jumping spiders for awhile and i absolutely adore them!! So, I decided I wanted to try breeding them for myself. ( and I’m working on starting a business for myself ) I have got to successful egg sacs that hatched a couple days ago, One hatched three days ago and the other yesterday to be exact.
however they were from gravid females that I had caught, so I didn’t breed them. But, I’m planning on keeping some of the offspring and captive breeding those!! I’m really excited and I can’t wait to hear from y’all!!!

What's a gravid female?

What's a gravid female?

Pregnant

 

[Crestcrazy2]

Pregnant gravid=pregnant

That’s the word used for describing a pregnant lizard, snake, or spider!

Thank you for teaching me!

Can you breed spiders for certain characteristics, like color?

Your very welcome!!! Feel free to ask away!!!

I’m so very much hoping so!!!!! One of the spiders that had an egg sac hatch was massive!! So I’m really hoping her babies have her genes!!!! Yes you can breed toward different colors and certain characteristics!!!!!
