Got one of my most wanted salticids the other week from Exopet :D
She's sub adult but still massive, really wish i could find her a male :(
Havent been able to get any decent pics of her yet. As soon as she went into her set up she webbed up between the side of the tub and the netting lid :roll:
So i decided to get her out today, added another piece of bark to her set up to recreate a salticids prefered crevice, she had some bogwood in there before we she completely ignored. I added the new bark next to the existing bogwood to give her a hide, whilst i had her out and changing her enclosure i added moss to the bottom, made it look better and also stabalised the bark better. Thankfully this time she went in there she actually started to web up where she was meant to :p
Only got crap pics at the moment, waiting for a bit of sun to come through the windows, hate artificial lighting photo's :(

Where she webbed.



Her set up after.



And here she is checking out the new set up.



Here she is whilst i had her out.

Wow, Deroplatys, she is gorgeous!!!! P. regius are my faves also! :D

Where are you located? I can get a WC male for you, as they are plentiful where I live. :)

I like your setup for her, it looks very nice! :clap:

Sadly im in the UK, the biggest jumper we see here often is only about the side of the width of her thorax :rolleyes:
