Bold jumping spider slings escaped from mothers nest!?! What do I do ?

[SouthBaySpider]

Hey y’all first time posting here and just looking for some clarity on my lil guys.

So momma bold jumping spider had the babies 2-3 weeks ago and yesterday I noticed that all the babies had escaped her enclosure!?

they were all over my kitchen table and I could only recover about 8-10 of them. I have them in separate jars currently and some of them are showing mild aggression to each other. My question is, should I be separating them or should I be putting them back with mom and finding a better seal so they don’t escape again?

they seem to be jumping around just fine when I was handling them so I feel as if they are ready for small prey, but was reading online they can drink milk as late as 40 days

any advice would be great thanks guys and gals!

Keep them separated.

but was reading online they can drink milk as late as 40 days

Huh?

If they're showing aggression towards each other, they'll probably eat.. Milk cracks me up, do people really do that? Keep containers around, you'll find more later.

Get smaller air vents …

Since our house is carport to rafters young jumpers right now - start of the rainy season and tail end of the major hatching season with them seeking out higher, dryer ground - I try to be the most practical.
* If they had been all kept together they would have cannibalized until a small few were left. More hazardous than sharing a living space with humans.
* They are quick, and only the floors of the house are serious high hazard zones. On the walls and ceilings they are reasonably safe. Safer than a cannibalizing container for sure.
* Catching the little sporks can be pretty difficult. If opportunity presents itself I'll relocate the occasional individual outside.
Otherwise, what the heck. They're cute as all get out and with the rains come the small insects by the millions with many attracted to our lights. So we simply work on cohabitation. Corral one on a floor or in a sink and just shoo it up a wall but otherwise, a heck of a lot more fun entertainment watching them stalking than commercial TV or multimedia crud from a cell phone.
I suppose a foot note. They and all other spiders with very rare exceptions are entirely harmless.

Jumpers, pholcids and huntsman, our built in comedy routines. The rule is turn all the lights on and employ caution when vacuuming. Only takes a moment to send a floor cruiser up a wall to safety.
Pedes very rarely enter the house. We maintain a healthy detritus of all our yards so only the rare stray bozo comes inside and a soft bristle brush sends them back outside. It's very rare to see the nuisance detritus tigers, the red centipedes.
Otherwise, practical. Human hazards. Driving, 90%+. Mosquitoes - dengue and a rare malaria appearance, ~5%. Venomous snakes, 2%, scorps 1%, all other animals, 1%, a phsyco homicidal in law, .5%, spiders, no medically significant species spotted in this area for over 5 years.
And the caveat, sort of, in law and potentially rabid dogs, I've got guns. Not in my back yard, sweetypie.

Keep them separated.

thank you!



Huh?

Lol sorry not clarifying
I meant their mothers milk
Or w.e their secretion is called in the spider community
Or am I confused? Could of swore the mother

I meant the “spider milk” but my brother thought it would be funny to try and give them actual milk

they are definitely quite harmless and so adorable!
I managed to corral quite a few of them and have them separated

Mammals produce milk for their young. By way of nipples and lactation glands. Spiders have none of these. They do not "secrete" any nutrients. Some arachnids will share prey with their offspring, but that's about as close as it gets.

It would not be funny. It would be unnecessary and potentially cost lives.

What's funny is in the last week I've had to teach my phone the words "penis" and "nipples" but "secrete" it knows. Go figure.
