Whatever

He about the size of 2 or 3 cooked grains of rice rn. Gonna get to the size of a little over a quarter coin.
His home is tiny atm

 

Not being a dick at all...I assume you bought that spider? And how do we know that he is in fact...a he?

 

Pookie.

 

Angle of the dangle.



seriously tho, spiders usually have markings/size differences between the sexes.

 

Gotcha. I had no idea.

 

It doesn’t mean I know, however.

Dude look like a lady!


EDIT: oh, and you’re still a dick.

 

Drag spider

 

Overall body color, narrower ass, and green fangs is what im currently going off of. Although body color and fang color isnt necessarily an indication of gender but its more likely a male. Narrow vs plump abdomen is a better indicator plus its palps buts its really too small to be 100% sure. Which is why im leaning more toward male

 

How did you help (him) eat?

 

The first mealworm i offered him i moved him in to the feeding cup but he fucked off so i assumed he wasnt hungry yet. Removed that one, waited a day and then offered him a smaller one. Waited a bit but saw by his abdomen he was hungry so gently moved him in to the cup again but with the smaller meal worm. He showed interest and attacked it once before backing off. Waited a bit to see if hed eat but he just acted scared so i eventually nudged him closer and he latched on and has been eating it since like 3:30pm

 

Dont think hes had a mealworm before so was sorta nervous

 

I agree, well done Dave !

 

This is both sad and shocking.

 

I have another question because I'm a nosy bastard and its what I do.

First...welcome to the thread!!

Question...
If a person was wanting to purchase a spider of that caliber and was wanting a newer model (such as the one you have in yer spider aquarium)...bout how much could he expect to pay?

 

I got mine through https://www.itsybitsyfriends.com/shop

$80 for a starter kit but you gotta pay an extra 20 for 2 day shipping cause its a live animal. The plant, gravel, table, and led lamp i got on my own. You could also just just check out your local pet stores too. Only adult jumpers need a fancy enclosure. A baby like mine definitely needs a small or id lose it

 

Other than pinning my drunk father against a wall at 2AM and explaining he "was not going to hit anyone any more" ... I'm relatively just fucked up enough.

... lucky for us (brother/mom/me) I was a MooseTeen (6ft & 180 lbs at 13). Too bad it took 13 years to get there.
