Jumping spider molting?

[ShannaRoze]

I have had my first jumping spider almost a month. During this time I have maybe seen her out twice. Past few feedings I have fed fruit flies which I can never find so I'm assuming she is eating. I can't see her belly because she never comes out of her web. The past few days her web has gotten more thick so I thought maybe about to molt. I see a lot of people who have jumping spiders who are out and about all the time. I'm always worried she has died. Here is a pic of her web.

I wouldn't worry about it. your jumper is probably just getting ready to molt and even after they molt they will stay in there web thing for a while so just give it time and it'll be okay.

Mine stayed in the tent for like 2 weeks the most recent time it molted.

likely molting
My sister’s male Eris militaris almost never came out of his web, but a few molts later became super active.

I would just make sure you still give them access to water!

It’s like fine and molting, it will come out eventually!
