New jumping spider owner

[gorybmovie]

I wouldn’t move it unless you see it come out of its nest. If you move it, and it’s deep into pre-molt, it may molt outside of the nest. Which is dangerous. Don’t move it yet. It’s only been in there for a week right? It should be fine. Don’t disturb it’s nest or move it unless you see it come out.

As I said, that is just what I would do and I am by no means an expert. From the looks of that container, the spider had already been in there for at least a few days if not a week before OP got it. That's a long time to go without water. Dehydration can lead to a bad molt. It's risky to mess with your spider during molting but as long as you're not touching the spider and are very gentle, I think it is safe to move it during premolt. The spider will make a new nest or find a safe place to molt. My spider didn't even make a nest during her last molt and I unknowingly moved the flower she was in to a new enclosure as she was molting (I've included a couple pics of her just after her molt). She was fine. However, if you want to err on the side of caution, your spider is probably okay staying in that nest, but you will need to find a way to offer it some water. Are you able to squeeze a drop through the ventilation on the lid or open the lid up enough to sneak one in without touching the spider?

i did move it into the new enclosure and it just started exploring (mostly me) and after a couple hours it started to make a new home in the corner
i did find a molt inside the container, but dont know how old it could be.
but so far it seems to be okay.
