Did this tik toker just try getting her dead jumping spider to mate?

She actually looks alive to me her legs are pulled in but not death curl. I've seen phiddipus females stay still like this to let the males just do their thing I guess a sign of being submissive. Not that my input matters now seems like the tiktoker was already under fire.

Your input matters. The only issue I've really seen is that in previous videos, this female was very lively and always moved. Even if it was just a leg. This was not a submissive female.

Yes. This doesn’t seem like normal behavior. They at least follow each other with their eyes. Seems dead or close to death to me, or just plain elderly.

I could be wrong, but comparing the Reddit video posted on here and the one where she's explaining things on TikTok, the spider seems to be acting different. In the TikTok video, the spider clearly moves trying to get away from him. Even if it's just moving her leg. In the reddit one, she doesn't move at all. There is also a difference in the webbing put on her by the male in the reddit video and the one in the TikTok video. There's also another video on this lady's TikTok that has the two spiders side by side and the female does not move at all and her abdomen looks a little duller than in her "reply" video. Like I said, I could be wrong, but still seems suspicious to me.

I have two orange form Phiddipus regius females from the same egg sack. They look alike unless you look at them VERY closely. Rose’s color form is a common one for females. (Phiddipus regius females range from grey, tan, peach, to orange or more)

It would be easy to mask these accusations in my opinion.
