Ethel Webster's Jumping Spiders

[Ethel Webster]

My daughter lives on the IOW in the UK and got hers yesterday. I can't wait till I next go over to see him / or her !

Wow! What a small world! I may know of her if she's a member of WRAS, the Island's reptile & amphibian society.

I thought I'd post up some new photos of my pair of regal jumpers, Bella & Buster. I noticed this morning when I misted their enclosures that Bella had molted in her hammock. The, just a few hours later Buster molted too! I can't wait until they turf the old skins out as I want to have a good look and take some photos of them! Odd how they both molted within hours of each other though, most fascinating. Anyway, here's a few new pics.

Beauties. I love the pattern on Phidippus regius females, it looks like a face!

Bella moulted on 30th April and Buster on 1st May and since then they've eaten a small wax worm and a mealworm each.

This morning i found a sling moult in the sling tub. I managed to remove it and found the carapace! It's really tiny, especially when compared to my adult/sub adults' moults! Thought you guys on here would appreciate this!

She's also playing the song of her people.

That is so cool! I'd never seen a molt from a jumping spider before.

P. Regius carapace photos

These would be cute hats (or masks for Halloween).

They're so cute, and the tiny sling carapace, WOW, how teeny weeny is that, OMG!

How did you keep it intact???? I feel like I would crush these by accident

 

[KhalRocco]

Awesome stuff, took a picture of my P.Regs last molt the other day too.

It's almost 7 weeks now since my first sling emerged fully from the nest. A few of the larger slings are big enough to sex now! I have 20 of the larger ones separated out into deli cups, some in singles, other 2 or 3 to a cup depending on size. A lot more are still living communally in the large tub I've been raising them in. I'm thoroughly enjoying watching the little ones grow. Ethel Webster lives on!

Not posted in a while, but the slings are doing fab! I have separated 26 onto deli cups now with more still housed communally as they are smaller. A few are now eating green bottles and teeny mealworms too. The first one went to her new home a couple of weeks ago and is doing great!

This little girl I am keeping. She seems keen to interact with me and she's so pretty!

You've done absolutely fantastic with them. Well done.
