Jumping spider wont climb wall of container

[Wolfspidurguy]

This has happened with 3 out of the 4 jumping spiders I've kept. I'll bring it inside and put it in a container to see if it can climb the side of the container. And it absolutely refuses to climb the side of the container. They get depressed if they can't do this and it's killed 3 of the 4 jumping spiders I've kept. I'm getting mad at this point Cuz I love these little guys. Someone plz help

Just a couple of aspects to consider. Some glass is treated, coated with a polymer that makes it super slick. Glass is also hard on the eyes. Between the reflection and translucence, jumpers rely heavily on eyesight for spatial awareness that could be interfered with on those surfaces.

Can't help but if you love them so much perhaps stop collecting them as you know they'll die.

What kind of container are you using?

 

[Wolfspidurguy]

It doesn't matter what kind of container I keep them in glass or plastic. But I got lucky and found a "not broken" one. Meaning it can climb the side of the container

It doesn't seem you have much luck with the Jumping Spiders in captivity.

 

[Ratmosphere]

I never had this problem before. What's the ventilation like? Post a picture if you can.

What is the ventilation like in the container? If you post a picture it would be easier to find out what is going on.

Sounds to me like they were possibly exposed to pesticides or chemicals. I had a jumper die from pesticides, it was unable to climb. Eventually it was unable to even control itself and of course died.

You physically killed them out of frustration or?

Did you wash your containers with any soapy substance?

Silly head, of course he did not kill them out of frustration.

It's been a long time since a cute girl called me that so I guess my post was kinda worth it.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that as jumping spiders get old their grip decreases and they become incapable of climbing glass and plastic and fall of objects more due to stiff muscles this happens before they finish their short lives this could all be wrong.

Wow that makes sense

A pic of the enclosure and description of the ventilation you offer it may help quite a bit.
