Is this Jumper deformed?? Or not a Jumper

[Eagle555 Jumping spiders]

Hi new here lol,
I found a Jumping spider at a park and I was looking for one so I put it in a cup and I looked at it and it seemed to have a deformity or extra/ extended something any ideas ?! UPDATE: Calling him Edward scissor hands!

Thank you, pretty sure,I was looking it up. I put him in a deli and he adopted a web hope he does good!

Correct.

Thank you new to this platform and species of jumper!

Correct.

Do you think it would be good to put him in a ( plugged ) Zilla micro

Absolutely not. Too many holes in that enclosure! Had a jumper Salticus sized; I plugged up every visible hole, still escaped.

I would try to find something that doesn’t have a door. Like a plastic container or display box. When my jumper was the size of a Salticus scenicus, this enclosure worked perfectly. (And still does, she’s still with me just grown bigger now.)

Males have a very short life span and when they mature their only mission is to procreate. They won't feed well (if at all) and they'll just wither away eventually. Better to let them make more spiders than to waste away and not have the chance.

Males can be short-lived, and may not take food. You can keep him if you want, and not all males are like this. My sister’s adult male Eris militaris has been going steady for months, taking food great, and shows no signs of aging.

I’m not sure if it’s due to the species or the individual.

Thanks I will look into the enclosure type thing I’ll let Edward go if he doesn’t take good tomorrow or tonight.

The only valid moral reason to keep a male spider in isolation is in furthering research beneficial to environment and ecosystem. Without the beneficial aspect it is nothing more than an animated ornament. -Dr. Kishen Vendara

Very true, a pet is essentially that. An ornament. Unless you are doing research on it. (I like to do both!)

I don’t own any tools.

I have in the past and was not “skilled in the art” and the jumper escaped and I would like to have one premade

Lol I will keep this guy if he eats and is adapting he isn’t trying to escape and I have a bunch of Zebras on my house so I know that the population is fine I ordered the new enclosure you suggested so I will have something that he can’t escape out of!

all you need is a Fiskar hand drill, or an electric drill. You can do it!

There is also the captive breeding of endangered species but mentioning that to the good doctor and his colleagues restarts the perpetual three way argument. A, necessary for species survival, B, a band aid on the greater problem of people acting thoughtlessly or irresponsibly and C, evolution is what it is, inclusive of extinction.
