    oh boy.... I raised 4 eggsacks in 2019. It started my whole business. we seperated every single sling and raised it individually in deli cups. over 200 slings ! It was quite the undertaking but it was well worth it.

      Curious what size were the deli cups?? I have kept these spiders my entire life and have NEVER had to deal with an egg sac. But I have a bunch of small 2 oz condiment cups. But am afraid it’ll be too small!

    I was sitting at the dinner table and all of a sudden I saw a crumb moving. Turned out to be a sling so I called out my daughter who has wanted a jumper for over a month now. We found a small container for it and then immediately I couldn’t figure out how to take care of it so I found this video and it definitely gave me a great direction to keep this guy healthy and happy. Those lil guy’s are amazing hunters from the get go.

    Breeder tip: Once you see slings it is time to move the egg sac to a container that is easy to manage before the slings emerge.

    • @christinahildebrand8542
      @christinahildebrand8542 3 года назад

      What kind of container is small enough for the slings??

    Went through this over the summer with some P.audax. Good lord they go through a lot of fruit flies. I used a large AMAC, drilled a 7/8ths hole through the top, cut off the top of a plastic soda bottle, and used epoxy to affix it over the hole. Whenever you want access without opening the box, you just unscrew the bottlecap. I use the same setup with most of my arborial T slings too. It's works great for C.versicolor, and avics.

      @SuperFrodo95 3 года назад

      Jumpers will happily hunt prey larger than themselves. Though as someone said, you don't want an even fight when it's your pet involved, so no feeders bigger than they are or anything tough like a beetle.

  • @cherettecameron
    @cherettecameron 3 года назад +12

    Thank you for this. I have a sac of P. Regius too that I'm caring for. I separated the sac from mom and the babies turned black and are still in the sac and haven't emerged. I'm dreading the day they all come out haha. I don't know how many I have but I plan of keeping the majority of them. These are are favorite kind of spiders!

  • @lou4188
    @lou4188 Год назад +2

    Also, since they prefer the top of enclosures, it's better to use it upside down, and omit substrate. The light excelsior can be added generously, so it stays stable inside the inverted container.

    I do not suggest misting/spraying for slings. Get a cotton ball and wet it until moist but not dripping. They will drink from it and it can't cause drowning. The smallest droplet will drown a sling. When misting the water will collect together and cause a snowball effect and create even bigger droplets on the sides of the container

    A small piece of foam sponge would suffice to block the hole. Yes, a funnel works well, for feeding fruit flies. I've raised several batches of Phids, and have learned little hacks each time. They are so fun to raise, and watch!

    Awesome video! One thing to keepnin mind for those of you looking to breed your spiders and keep them how he shows, place a damp towel at the bottom of the cip rather than spraying the inside. The water droplets easilly kill many of the slings.

  • @brittneybrown4849
    @brittneybrown4849 Год назад

    Love the video! I ended up putting the egg sack into a container (like the one the fruit flies are in) added cross ventilation (only the lid was ventilated) and cut a square shape door on the side for easy access for feeding and adding moist paper towel. I read it's best to leave them together until i3 to i4, so once they get to about that stage I'll then separate. Currently have baby bolds and baby Regals. ❤

  • @lucidlabyrinth
    @lucidlabyrinth Год назад

    That's why jumping spiders are meant to be kept in an enclosure that opens from the bottom or the middle of the front.. bc they go to the top, and also make their nests at the top, so every time you open it you're ruining their nest.
    Those enclosures are also too small for adult P. Regius so hopefully the others he mentioned are in better homes!

    Excellent techniques for dealing with spiderlings. I had an egg sac of Silver Garden Spiders hatch a few weeks ago. A couple hundred babies! Have fed dead prey and fruit flies. The Arctic blast has made south Texas too cold to release and disperse them. Hoping for warmer, normal weather so they can go and grow as intended. Thanks for the advice in your video!

  • @weareadventuresam

    It’s interesting to see that life on the micro can be so valued in such a way that, like our food, the cutest spiders ever are valued as pets and the fruit flies are not even a thought. What if they were cute like mice fed to snakes? I’m fascinated by this conversation and love to learn. I’m not sure if all of these animals could survive in the wild and if that’s the case….
