Jumping spider captivity growth rate

[Jonathan6303]

Wondering if anybody has found that jumping spiders in captivity have a slower growth rate.

how would you even go about comparing this?

You'd have to track a sample size of specimens throughout their wild-life?

Yep

Impossible to know. But I imagine it wouldn’t be much different. However I do know, the more you feed them, the faster they grow because it will trigger molting sooner.

The reason I’m asking is because my p. Audax hasn’t molted in a month. I feel like that’s unusual for a species with a year lifespan.

It’s about 1/4 inch
