Spooder man, spooder man, does what ever a spooder can!
I really want a jumping spider. I probably won’t even be able to get one, because my parents are hard to convince, but who knows, they may say yes, because I’m going through some stuff.


Some things I have questions about:

Good enclosures?
Good substrate?
Good food? (I don’t have access to Dubia roaches)
Where can I get one in Alberta Canada? (They don’t live in the wild here)
how should they get their water?

I will obviously do research before getting one, even if I do.

I watched both of their videos, (I’ve seen all of their videos, huge fan) along with the one by clints reptiles. I can’t catch them here though. They don’t live here. We just have balloon spiders and daddy long legs. I need to find a breeder.

Couple things:

IM NOT AN EXPERT

It's also sold out :/

 

And I would try to get one that doesn't have a lid like that, because usually they sometimes make their webs in a upper corner and they can't do that at all in that one without you ruining the web when you take of the lid 

 

Take what I say with a grain of salt though

Haha that's the one I linked ^^ too

 

I think it would be great since the lid is quite tall so you wouldn't ruin the web and such

 

 

(Again I'm not an expert sooo don't take what I say 100%)

Yeah, I like the Etsy one. The Amazon one doesn’t ship to me, I hate red. Yeah. I’m picky. Could I put a succulent into a jumping spooder cage?

Ooh! We all need jumpers. Since millipedes are super illegal here, I decided to look into something else, and my mom actually seems into it...

But don’t spooders get really stressed in too large of an enclosure? Someone I know has a tarantula who went off food because his enclosure was too big. (It was like 5 gallons, and he needed like 3)

Yeah idk lol. I think it depends, but in general spiders don't need that much space yeah

 

5-10gal is perfect for most tarantulas though- (i would do 10)

3 is way too small imo o.o (for an adult at least)

but um idk lol
