Jumping spider struggling

[justdreamaria]

I recently caught a jumping spider outside, she or he seems to have a harder time clinging to the walls of their enclosure, I have the same enclosure for all three of my spiders but it seems this one just can’t hang on very well. I also think my spider may be missing some legs… is there anything I can do to make his life a little easier?

It’s possible that it is old. Pictures?

Can’t really get a photo of under them, they don’t move enough for me to really see

It looks like a female Habronattus sp.
She does look pretty mature, could be old. To help her, you could put some mesh on some of the walls. Or you could make the enclosure more terrestrial.

Thanks so much, I’ll see if I can change her enclosure to help her get around better!
