Hello everyone, this message is for everyone who reads but is more specificially designed for those people such as Santanka and RugbyDave and those that are interested in my last report on my jumping spiders.
As I've stated, My female jumping spider has laid a large cluster of egg for about 20 or so days now.
Good news is that, they are finally hatching, the yellow eggs are turning a bit black and some are moving and some near the edge of the cacoon, are barely visible with spider like similarities. I've kept them in my room, very warm. 65-70 F , 50-60 humidity lvl. She is right near my computer. It is pretty fun, I've kept her entertained during her waiting by giving her food. Even as I speak she is eating an earwig. She has already eaten a spider, a fly, and two earwigs, she is enormous. I got a male jumping spider. Red abdol. He is puny compared to her, 1/4th her size. Couldn't handle an earwig, she did it without much thought. Earwigs are dangerous though so I am going to stop that.
For days now, my female jumper, 1 inch percise in length, has continuely popped out of her nest, head only, and look around. She is like a guard. It looks so cute. I move my finger around and she follows it. I wish I got a digi cam or something, little poor right now. Its quite amazing.
Well I want to thank everyone that tried to help me in any possible. David, I've got several jars and I'm going to raise a few but release most of them into my backyard. They are large so the spiders won't feel like they are all couped up, even though they are. One thing, i'm not going to spend $200+ bucks on jumping spider.
. I gotta go buy the food...good thing my way home passes Petco. Oh yea, its not a audius or whatever, some other species. She is very aggressive as well. Shoulda seen what she did to my prober, haha. She actually took some of the wood out of a toothpick I placed in there. She is gigantic..... Well, hey after looking more I see there are more hatching and coming out. If anyone can give me more help here, I would appreciate it. Man I am so excited. Wish me luck everyone.
