I'm afraid of spiders. But because of this video I actually recognized a spider in my kitchen as a jumping spider. I took the time to look at it and it was so charismatic and cute! I used MY BARE HAND to help it outside. I don't even know who I am anymore. Thank you Clint!
Theyre like the puppys of the spider world
Ahhhhh, that makes me so happy to hear!!! I love people opening their hearts to these wonderful creatures 🥺🥺🥺🖤🖤🖤
thats awesome
This is amazing 🙌 😍 and wonderful i suddenly decided to let one walk on my hand 🖐🏻 even to i was so scared but he/she didn't bite me and it felt good feeling the spider 🤷🏻♀️ it's fluffy and so light in weight you almost don't feel the spider on you because it's so tiny! He/she was following me all day today and seems to want to be close to me 😄 i guess we're good friends now and having a connection 🤧 some time before i couldn't get so close i thought the spider will jump on my face or eye 👁🗨 because they're so unpredictable when they jump, but he/she didn't, and hopefully that will never happen, now i am not really that afraid it's poison is not dangerous and he/she is not likely to want to jump on my face i think haha. 👀
@@spookywitch0x0 Awww, that's so amazing! 🥺
*starts looking around house for jumping spider*
I find them outside on plants all the time as the leaves are densely packed together and make good places for webs :)
@@shellyyy3945 good for you. I live somewhere very hot and I don't find them often
I want one so baddd! They’re always sold out.
Thuma Red Check online some breeders sell online there is one I seen post up on Petfinder
i found one that was so very curious! he follows me around the house and sits on me all the time. i named him bill!
damn, I had a jumping spider in my house for about a year. one day I realized that I don't see him anymore. now I know that they live only about a year. kinda miss that little fellow.
They're FANTASTIC for pest-control too! I have LOADS of them living in my garden and noticed that the incidence of plant-eating insects has been significantly reduced!
I miss the spider that lived in my shower, I would see it every morning drinking water droplets after my shower. A few times I had to rescue it because it was waiting before I started the shower and a few stray drops knocked it off the wall.
FeelsBadMan
Thers many spieces, some can live 3 years or even more (females atleast).
Yep, same. She was the biggest Phiddipus audax I've ever seen, before or since. I saved her from a glass of water, and she never left my bathroom, again. She would disappear for a week or two - no doubt, molting - but she'd always reappear, after a shower. I remember when I last saw her on my hand towel, and taking many pics. After months, I had to accept that she had surely passed, as she was so large. I was so sad about it that my arachnophobic boyfriend caught a baby on his windshield, and he became my first pet spider.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have spent the evening wandering around my house with an empty pickle jar looking for a jumping spider.
One popped up in my kitchen. Now it's in a deli cup because my girl friend wants to keep it
If your still looking for one they tend to like warm walls I hope this helps
I now have three from my mailbox
Jumpers are actually much easier to find on outdoor vertical surfaces. Since they like to face the ground and pounce on ground-dwelling bugs from above, it's where they prefer to be. You won't find them in cracks and crevices like web-weaving spiders! Check the side of your house or apartment!
Honestly who hasnt
So what you're saying is that we need to genetically engineer Jumping spiders to make them live longer and grow to the size of a mouse making the perfect pet.
Eh, maybe not the size of a mouse. I'd say the size of small to medium size ts.
TheSwampus at that size they might actually try to eat you.
TheSwampus bro just get a tarantula
Why stop there? Make them huge, like in 8 Legged Freaks
I think we should not genetically engineer as it may cause unwanted consequences. You may keep your opinion as you are entitled to it but to me they are perfect the way they are.
"You can't help being tiny, it's one of your best features" ..... my heart MELTED.
As far as Jumping Spiders go, I'd not use the word tiny anyway, the Zebraspiders I often see around the house are a lot smaller.
@@Kaefer1973 No kidding, that's massive compared to what we find in our house
my package is massive
@@johnwayne7673 Stimulus package?
Sometimes types of jumping spiders are actually kinda big
My wife is mostly cured of arachnophobia. She's now naming sliders in our house, and misted the web during dry hot days. We now have 2 jumping spiders - a Salticus Scenicus and a larger grey jumping spider we meet on a hike in Greece. Now both of them are in their cocoon.
She stopped having regular nightmares with spiders, and she has good dreams about them. She's even dreaming about protecting spiders from evil stuff.
You did that. This video, your way of talking, and your cinematography, all of that is the reason she took a tiny (2mm) house jumping spider and started taking care of it, leading to today.
Thank you for dramatically improving our quality of life, and saving a lot of spiders from certain death.
When I was a little girl put star stickers on my ceiling, and I remember when I would take a nap, there was this jumping spider that would jump from sticker to sticker on the ceiling and I would just lay there and watch it. It was cool.
Parkour
A jumping Spider playing hop-scotch? Now I've heard everything! Gawdz, those wee guys are cute little buggers! LOL
I would have named him Mario!
THATS ADORABLE OMG
Imagine a childrens book where a jumping spider wants to try to reach the real stars in the sky, then finds your ceiling and is like 'I did it!'
Find a guy that looks at you like this guy looks at jumping spiders.
Last time I looked at a girl like that, all I got is this lousy restraining order.
Laci-Ann Mosher XD
...And then secretly cheat on him because he's become "Needy" then, slowly cut him off, but keep him around just in case your runner ups don't come through that you'll always have that support. WITCH! BURN THE WITCH!!!
Joshua Hobbs bro, are you okay?
Joshua Hobbs dude..
I like these types of videos. I know she's not really a reptile, but just like at the reptile conventions, all the creepy crawlies kind of go together in my mind. It kind of goes with the misunderstood yet fantastic pet/creature category. Add my vote to those in favor of you branching past the only reptiles niche!
Couldn't have phrased it better myself ❤
You better keep up that outlook. Or else! >:V
Reptiles aren't creepy crawlies :
Spiders: "Let's evolve into being able to jump, grow fangs and multiple eyes to scare people"
......And here comes this guy.
The even more impressive part is when you consider the fact that jumping spiders:
A.) Possess the biggest brains relative to their body size for any spider species.
B.) Have some of the best eye sight of any spider species.
C.) Have shown the capability to strategize and plan out tactical approaches to killing prey. A Jumper that wants to take on a bigger web builder may instead flank the spider from the rear in order to attack and kill it.
D.) The Jumping Spider family also contains the only known herbivorous spider species.
Jumping spiders are really the hominids of the spider families.
have you watched Lucas the Spider?
I guess the jumping spider family didn't get that memo.
No, no, they evolved those things before humans were even on the scene. And they evolved them to catch dinner. That they evoke fear, disgust, and arachnocidal tendencies in humans seems to be evolutionarily disadvantageous, as all they really want to do is hang out behind your refrigerator, avoiding you as much as possible, so they can catch those tasty mosquitoes you accidentally let in.
I gave your comment a thumbs down because I dislike it
Lucas here is absolutely adorable. They appear to possess a curiosity and intelligence far-beyond what should be possible for a spider.
I think animals (even a lot of insects) are way more sentient and intelligent than many people give them credit for. It seems like a lot of people put a little too much focus on our unique style of mental processes through the prefrontal cortex as being the source of our own intelligence, to see how similar we can be to other creatures.
Everyone is intelligent in their own way.
I don't doubt it. We still don't understand intelligence very well.
Humanity is a pretty poor arbiter of intelligence, as we've demonstrated repeatedly. Bees can do math, wasps can analyze and recognize specific human faces and facial expressions, some birds can grasp basic language beyond pure mimicry, etc. All things we were sure wasn't possible fifty years ago, because we decided they weren't intelligent enough.
Researchers have found that even an ant is 'self -aware' in that it recognizes itself in a mirror, at least one paper has found.
“You’ve already looked at its face up close, you can never go back”
I disagree. lol
@Alyssa Coon weird flex but ok.
Cuteness is subjective. Jumping spiders I think are hella cute. Others may disagree. Though I think the Brachypelma Boehmei reigns above all spiders in terms of adorableness.
@@nathanielleack4842 Yeah you're fucking weird if you think that spider is cute lmao it's terrifying
@@50zezima *I`M GONNA PRETEND I DIDN`T SEE THAT*
I adore jumping spiders. This love has gone to my kids to the extent that when my middle daughter was two (she’s 8 now) she picked up a wolf spider, ran over to me, and excitedly told me, “I found a PUPPY BEETLE!”
That day she learned that wolf spiders do not equal hopping spiders, and I learned that calling them “puppy beetles” is the best thing ever.
Azure a puppy beetle 😂😂 that makes them sound wayyyy cuter. I’m gonna use that lol
That might be the most adorable way I've ever heard to describe a spider.
@@raelonewolf Absolutely! So stinking adorable!
I often pick up wolf spiders. One time I even brought a giant wolf spider to calculus class in a glass mug, it even had all the babies on her back. There was another time when I saw one on the floor of my econ class and in the middle of class I got on the floor, caught it, and took it outside; much to my professor's confusion.
Also I absolutely love the name "Puppy Beetle".
Joseph Burchanowski ummmm arent they more poisonous than widow spiders????
"You can't help being tiny. It's one of your best features." 😭❤❤❤
it's crazy how smart these little guys seem to be. I encountered one on my porch a while ago, and I SWEAR he was sizing me up, looking straight at my face and following my every move.
I've read one story of someone saying they found someone in their room, waved at it, and it waved back.
Jumping spiders are visual hunters and can generally recognise people, so maybe it just knew you.
They do! :)
Every animal is intelligent thou it is just they have adapted to different things.
I read a lot of science papers about their intelligence. Now we own a Phidippus Regius female and even after watching videos and reading, she still blows our minds on a regular basis. Their intelligence and awareness is uncanny. A lot of behaviors I know from dogs and cats - especially cats.
I had to tong feed her a cricket and after the first time she realized that it is me or my wife where food comes from. So now, when she is hungry, she comes running to the glassdoor of the enclosure, looking us straight into the eyes lol. While I make the cricket ready, she watches every move, moves back and goes into waiting position when I open up the enclosure. The moment I start to move in with the cricket, she already runs up to me, waits until it's in front of her and grabs it xD.
Still blows my mind that such a tiny invertibrate shows clear signs of the kind of intelligence only seen in mammals or some birds.
They even found out that they seem to have REM sleep with legs twitching and rapid eye movement - so maybe they actually have dreams, which is crazy!
They do! They start "feeling" their face as they're processing, then they'll reach out a hand to you. After one hand, they often also reach out with their other hand, then climb aboard!
But they will totally look at you, cock their heads, touch their face, and think. They don't seem to like phones or cameras, at first, either.
I get the feeling that they are trying to communicate. They look and wave . You wave back and they stair . They seem to be curious and smart.
they are well known to be among the smartest non vertebrates, actually.
They're just evaluating you as something they can or cannot jump on lol.
They will happily watch you as you move around near them. Praying mantises are the only other bugs that display this behavior. There were studies conducted on jumping spiders, and they are able to distinguish themselves in mirrors from others of their kind, and other species. That's something that even some dogs have trouble with.
I have always been a spider person and all spiders are smarter than most give them credit for as I have proven many times to spider haters even by helping wild australian jungle huntsman spiders and a few other species that have had fluff and junk stuck to their legs and have begun to help with tweezers and a pin and then they stop and lift their legs once they realise they are in no harm and that something is helping them, it was very fascinating and quite remarkable the first time I had done it, it was very relaxed with me and as I then proceeded to pick it up and released it outside.
@@TyCampbell666 I had a similar experience with a wolf spider here in the states, it had a bunch of lint on it's legs, and I was able to pin it safely and start pulling the lint off. It clearly recognized what I was doing and I didn't even need to keep it still after I got the first bit of lint off. Quite amazing!
I see these little derps around and they never don't make me happy. I didn't realize people kept them as pets but it seems obviously easy in retrospect
Aren't they just wonderful??
They're cool! I get 3-4 species around my yard. I've been known to throw them crickets >.>
As someone from germany I would love to have one but sadly it's rly hard to find a breeder here, so I'm stuck with videos :/
@@darkdromeda3739 where from germany are you from? I see a lot of them in my garden and always enjoy watching them or let em climb my hands etc :D maybe i should make one or two into pets
@@johnshakur916 those are not Phidippus sadly :/ most likly salticus I think :)
Some species of jumping spiders, like the fringed jumping spider, are known to be some of the most intelligent arthropods. They can learn by trial and error and can even be trained.
Also, I liked the “they’re bold” pun you said as you were showing off your bold jumping spider
A tiny one in my room few days ago was watching me from my desk. I sort of waved at it by getting close and winking each eye. R/L/R/L/R/L it actually seemed to respond and like it. Next i noticed it had climbed to the top of my monitor and was sitting watching me. They are very inquisitive
"An even fight isn't usually what you want whenever you're feeding your pet."

Oh thanks for commenting because I heard "even fight is what you want" 😂
Me at the pet store: "Hi yes I'd like to be utterly devastated beyond repair somewhere within 10-20 years?
Clint's Reptiles: "Best we can do is 1 year."
1 year maximum at that. Minimum of 10 minutes if all goes well.
So get 2 and start a lineage.
Oh crap I have a ball python and I just realized I’ll have a very strong bond with a 30 year old pet and then I’ll be depressed for like the rest of my life

@@jaymavbnmmnbg384 yeah, I'm planning to get a baby later this year, so as a 20 year old I'm setting up 50 or 60 year old me for a bad time
Spiders tended to creep me out a lot. Especially the one's we have in Australia. I could approach a spider but only if my objective was to terminate it. However, jumping spiders have allowed me to greatly reduce the fear. I can allow a jumping spider to jump onto my hand and walk around. You can tell they're intelligent and they have exceptional eyesight.
that's understandable, practically everything in Australia wants to kill you :)
Everything is out to kill humans in Australia. Funnel spider venom that only kills humans? 😩

ooohw wooow..
Please do one of these on praying mantids
I like that idea very much!
Oh wow praying mantis confirmed, now this is a bug I can get behind lol
Yassss!
How about common praying mantis or orchid mantis? Also, would like to see an episode on stick and leaf insects as well.
I used to have a pet mantid as a child, one of the absolute most fun, easiest, and coolest pets for a little boy ever!
Jumping spiders are easily the most adorable spiders. They are very intelligent too, as you can literally teach them simple tricks like giving you a high five. And their little faces are so cute.
I just can't get over how expressive they are. The way they tilt their heads like that, it's so cute!
It is very cute! They tilt their heads probably because their eyes can't swivel like ours, so they have to move their full head to get depth perception.
@@williamreely4431 That makes a lot of sense. So is the jumping thing the reason why they do that? Because I've never seen other spiders doing it
@@themightyryden4458 they map their entire environment in 3D. they look at friendly humans a lot because they need to repeatedly map us and we are interesting to them too. Head tilting is the way a lot of animals without 3D senses sort of "cheat", like dogs tilt their heads to deal with noise verticality. They really are incredibly smart animals. I can't help but wonder if they consider people to be a sort of "fast travel" mechanism too.
@@Cheesus-Sliced That's really interesting! Thank you for knowledge :)
Most people: I can't believe she's so tiny
Me: I honestly didn't know jumping spiders could get that BIG 😍
same lol
Lol I feel seen. All ours are teensy.
iM NoT LikE oThER GiRLs
Dito. I live in germany and only knew the zebra jumpers. And they are only about 5 millimeters and very cute.
they can get bigger, look up Hyllus Diardi, they are big bois.
i like how they will sometimes look you right in the eye.
Yeah the way they just look up at me always melts my heart. I always leave it be if its in my house.
@@savannahlevy97 I usually just make sure they are some where they can find food, or i will move them. I have had them be strangely cooperative during the process.
I like that about them, it's as if they're saying " ok enough of me, I want to know what *you* look like "
@Hawt Ballz thats awesome
The observe our movement and learn that we ain't a predator and just a giant feeding it
I used to be terrified of spiders. Because of jumping spiders, I now have grown to have an appreciate of not only them, but most other arachnids. I say most because I still have a phobia of ticks. Thank you for the video!
To be fair, ticks of all arachnids actually deserve the squick factor. Spiders, especially the more potently venomous ones, deserve respect, but not fear.
I'd recommend getting an enclosure that opens from the side. Jumping spiders love making lil web nests at the top corner of things and I wouldn't wanna accidentally tear it up!
Fun fact: most jumping spider's fangs are so small that they can't break human skin.
Literally no way they can hurt you.
Unless you eat it, I suppose
Nope venom will be incinerated in your stomach acid
@@YaBoi-jg9zg I think they meant it biting the inside of your mouth/throat.
Regal jumping spider and every jumping spider above half inch can pierce human skin. Though you will have to force them for a bite.
I wish i could say that people didn't eat spiders but...but my cousin ate one live so yeahh and she was fully aware of what she was doing at 13
You absolutely can get bit by a jumper. They can pierce skin, however most don't and wind up merely pinching you. I have heard from a few people that have been bitten in defense and liken the pain to a bee sting.
Be honest how can you not like these chubby fuzzy buggers
It's hard to imagine!
I love these adorable little friends!
They're gross
I have a friend who thinks snakes, frogs, bugs and spiders are gross. I just can't see them like that. Yesterday I saved three frogs from certain death and she just thought 'ew'. She doesn't like to visit my place because I have two snakes. It's her loss, lol.
@@merkules6 snakes are cool I have a corn snake
Jumping spiders are such bro's. Whenever I meet one out in the wild, we hang out and explore each other safely for hours. They're super friendly, and absolutely love exploring you as much as you enjoy observing them.
I have 7 as pets and they are amazing! I don’t like most spiders, but these little guys have a special place in my heart ❤
Would you ever squish them to death?
Did they all live together in the same enclosure, or were they all separated?
@@coalblooded they have to be separate otherwise they may eat one another
We have a couple of jumping spiders living in our house, they're not pets, they're staff. They run around the floor and eat whatever they come across. "Oh a fly, nom nom nom." "Oh a gnat, nom nom nom." They will then turn in a random direction and go looking for their next meal. I have come to think of them as the Roomba of the insect world (I know, I know, arachnid).
Maybe the word you want is arthropod world?
@@Cryosite that too
Jumping spiders are an arachnopobic's best friend
Think about it :
They're 100% non dangerous, they are cute and if you look at them long enough you'll slowly start to calm around them, you don't need to care for them very much and thus have too much exposure and they also hunt other spiders so that you don't have to deal with it.
I'd really recommend arachnophobes to try a jumping spider, it could definitely help them at least a little bit
@@sephikong8323 plus their feet look like little kitty paws. Freaking adorable.
@@sephikong8323 Seriously! The first spider I was ever able to handle without losing my mind was a teenie tiny little jumping spider that got stuck in my car. I felt bad for the little guy. He (?) Let me handle him and wasn't aggressive at all. It really was a very cool experience.
...I still don't like the couple of overgrown grass spiders hanging around outside my house, though. 😐
.....he sorta reminds me of the Mr. Rogers of reptiles, amphibians, n spiders xD
I love this guy. Subbed for sure
I really love this comparison! It depicts him well and that's great!
🎶 It’s a wonderful day in the junglehood 🎶
Clint is indeed the Mr.Rogers of the reptile community but with a dash of Bill Nye thrown in for good measure.
Mr. Rogers is exactly what popped into my head before I came to the comments!
Jumping spiders have kind of a special place in my heart. I’m deathly afraid of spiders, but I have a fond memory of middle school where a friend caught a tiny jumping spider and we all gathered around to look at it. I saw it’s fangs were a shimmery green and it’s cool black and white stripes and suddenly I saw it as beautiful instead of scary.
Years later I saw the same kind in the garden and caught it, kept it for awhile as a pet but idk how to take care of a spider so I let it go. I’m still not gonna let one touch me, but I think they’re neat.
This wasn’t in Ohio was it? Only reason I ask is I caught one at school one day and everyone gathered around to watch me play with it. It would be crazy insane if you were one of my classmates that watched!
@@thepeoplesupdates676 no it was California sorry
But I think it’s sweet that gathering around and looking at a spider is a universal thing
@@GippyHappy These are the same spiders in this video: Phiddipus audax. We have them here, in California, but they didn't live in Orange Country, when I was a kid (I would've known: I held almost every animal I could find, including Black Widows) - they are plentiful here, now. Well, at least before the cats. (Which is crazy, because first, the cats killed all the lizards in the neighborhood that had eaten the spiders! Don't let your cats outside! The only worse invasive species is us! 😅)
That man is adorable... I feel like giving him a big hug while listening to him talking.
Never thought I would say this but now I want a pet spider
They're the best pets!!
They are super low intensity pets especially when compared to higher maintennance critters like lizards and other things this channel covers. Some make phenomenal display animals. Some can be handled and some are both! Spiders and Tarantulas are some of the most diverse families of animals on earth and if you look you can find one thats perfect to own. Tends to have medium upfront costs but the costs of care in general are low for most T's unless you get an arboreal species that may need higher humidity or a large species like an L.Parahybana that needs space and larger feeders
Same
I want to be like those skeletons in minecraft who use spiders like horses
My 3 year old son: "Ew! A spider! It will eat me!"
Me: "No buddy, that's a jumping spider, they're friendly"
Him: "A JUMPING spider?! 😱"
My 5 year old loves jumping spiders when I told her about them. She asks to see pictures of them and squeals in joy "aaaaw so cute!" Lol
I'm much older than 3. That is my face, too😂
aww
Lol
Never considered one as a pet…they’re more of a welcome backyard visitor/companion that I enjoy observing and interacting with while I hang out on the patio
may i also mention just how dang smart these little guys are? they can learn to recognize different humans and theyre so observant, its almost like theyre looking at you which they most likely are! and how they love to explore makes their care fun cause you can change up the decor in their enclosure and theyll actually appreciate it and look around, these little guys were a hyperfixation of mine for a while and actually helped me be less nervous around spiders
Is there a possibility of any scorpions being covered in the future?
Seems like a good idea to me.
@@ClintsReptiles what about making a video with ''stinging'' rad facts about them
I was going to ask the same question lol. I have 15 scorpions but, I like seeing them as featured pets.
I owned a Liocheles australasiae once, and I did not realize that they can reproduce asexually, so after a few months I had a lot of scorpions, haha.
@Jeremy Backman my personal favorite are h. Arizonensis. Big scorpions and an even bigger personality.
I find it funny how like you said it's Clint's Reptiles but in taxonomy terms you're more of a reptile than Lucas is 😂
Yeah, Lucas isn't even close, and yet here we are...
Clint's reptiles is actually a contraction of clint is reptiles
@@ohno6594 The Government is Lizards and so are RUclipsrs 😂
I love how he talked about handling a jumping spider without mentioning the fact the spider will JUMP out of your hands often. Jumping, I know, weird for a jumping spider
I know. Sometimes "handling" a jumping spider just means you keep catching it while it keeps bouncing off your hand like popcorn lol
@@johnsheldon7716 A very hyper popcorn at that!
Normally I'm terrified of spiders but I had a jumping spider that lived in the plants in my bedroom for months. His name with Theodore and he helped my fear of spiders immensely. I loved that spider but he wasn't in an enclosure so he moved out eventually. I didn't know they could be potentially kept as pets! I'm so stoked!
I'm pretty afraid of spiders and no where near the point where I'd own even a jumping spider, but I'm trying to reduce my fear by exposing myself to them. So thank you for making this video on such a non-threatening species that I can use as an intro to reducing my fear
Thats what I did, now I have three tan jumping spiders
I got over my fear of spiders after seeing one eat a baby cockroach. If they're killing those fucks, spiderbros can live in my house no problem
@@trenaareen1216 Fair
@@trenaareen1216 hell yeah. spiderbros ate flies and ants in my house. i catch them from my bedroom and moved them to the kitchen where the pest are.
This is how I overcame my arachnophobia! Like he said, once you see that little face you can’t really go back lol. I’m still pretty nervous around wolf spiders and the like, but tarantulas are fine. I kept a jumper for about a year until she passed. Made her a little coffin and buried her in my backyard 😔
spiders on clints reptiles?!?!?!?! YES!
MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE, you have no idea how happy this makes me.
(thank you so much)
I've come across a few of these, and the first thing I notice is how much personality they seem to have. Even just crawling around on plants in the garden, when they come into contact with you, they'll start interacting with you.
My brother and I used to catch these and just play with them all afternoon. It's amazing making eye contact with them and watching them just check you out. We had genuine moments of connection with those little spiders.
one amazing thing i heard about them, is that they have the best vision of all spiders, and are acctuly the most inteligent species of spider, to a point that they can recognize a human, which means they are capable of remembering you
Omg
Clint offers Lucas a squirming insect
Lucas walk by...
"Really, dad? No, I don't eat dirty roaches with bad language. I have class"
I'm quite confident that we would all be more than fine with you, Clint, taking on all earthly animals. We've got millions of species and you've got lots of work to do. Thank you for all you do Clint.
I love them. If I find one in my house I usually let em hang out. Very cute and fairly smart for a spider.
Clint's Reptiles: "Jumping spiders are the easiest pet to keep"
Millipede: "hold my mulch"
Haha 😂
YES!
I found a couple jumping spiders around my house recently and I must say they are AWESOME! They are shy at first, as expected. But in a day or so and with interacting with them, they become quite friendly! They love to crawl or jump around on your hand. It's really cute how they wiggle their butts before they jump. But the coolest thing about them, imo, is how they are so inquisitive! Whether it's in there enclosure or on your hand, you can see them looking around and trying to follow you. The one I have now starts reaching for my finger as soon as I put it in his enclosure because he wants to come out and play. And when it's time to put him away, if he isn't ready to go, he'll just stay on my hand. And when he is ready,I place him near the wood or leaves in his enclosure and he'll jump to them. Then he'll look back almost as if he's saying thank you. As you spend more time, you really get to see their personalities shine! I highly recommend one as a pet! You won't regret it!
It’s because of channels like yours that I DON’T squish spiders, if they’re scary, I find a way to give them a new home elsewhere. I also stop and look up a snake now to see if its a “scary” one or if its beneficial. So thank you, Exotics Lair, Wickens Wicked Reptiles, and other channels for making me appreciate the things that used to scare me! My next goal is to go and actually try to find someone with a scary snake to hold and touch. No, not a cobra, nothing so dangerous, but Boas and Pythons scare the bejeebies out of me so I want to get in to touch and maybe hold one.
Wow, I never knew that jumping spiders are not only mindblowingly adorable, but that easy to keep, as well. To even more of my surprise, I found out that they seem to be quite a well-spread group of spiders in my area, despite me never finding one in a wild before. That is an awesome video, now if I ever get my hands on one-I'm definetely gonna befriend it :)
I don't know what's cuter, jumping spiders or the way Clint talks to that little spider.
I remember when I was in primary school, I used to have a little jumping spider friend that I played with at recess. Not really a pet since it was free, I kept it in a bucket that was on its side so it could leave if it wanted (though it was more so that it wouldn't drown in the rain) and brought it water droplets and dead bugs as well as sticks and leaves to keep it comfy. It actually was there every time I came back.
I'm wondering if it realised that staying around meant it was getting free food. I know spiders aren't all that smart, but hunting spiders are much smarter that web spiders, because they need need to map their environment, predict prey movements, be acutely aware of their environment so they can detect prey and predators, and judge wether or not a certain prey is worth the effort and risk. Which takes more cognitive abilities than what a web spider would need, for them it's usually the more linear "if x happens, I do y" kind of process.
I named it Shadow based on the main spider in a canadian anime I loved called Spider Riders, and I think the spiders in that show were jumping spiders, since they jumped really high, rarely if ever used webs and didn't have venom.
Eventually a supervisor made me get rid of it becaise she thought spiders were gross though :/
That is such a great story. Sad ending, though. Also, I haven't watched Spider Riders in years, but that show was the bomb-diggity when I was younger.
Jumping Spider's are one of the very very few insects that have good enough vision and a powerful enough brain to recognize individuals. The spider actually knew who you were. Most bugs, even if they have the intelligence required for memorizing and recognizing, lack the simple range of vision to possibly use that brain power to ever recognize you.
This is primarily why Jumping Spiders develop personality. They can actually appreciate the world around them in a way most insects cant.
Jumping spiders are really smart and as the previous comment said they can recognize individuals and which is why it came back to you as it recognize and knew you, that ending made me sad/mad as many people don’t know or recognize how amazing animals can be
Yes, I agree. That woman took away a fulfilling and enriching experience from you, just based on her own fear and ignorance. How did it affect her anyway?? It's not like anyone was forcing her to interact with it. 😠
@@bunnieskitties293 spiders are not insects
Jumping spiders are maybe my single most niche autistic special interest. Eeeee, this video made me happy. They're super cute, there are all sorts of different jumping spiders you can find all over the world, they have pretty much the coolest eyes out there, and they seem to have relatively good hearing (despite not having ears!). They also quickly learn that you aren't a threat to them, and more than that actually seem to be able to recognise people and can form positive associations with owners. Keep your eyes out for jumping spiders and you'll see these little guys (and they can be seriously little!) all over the place. I personally don't keep any, I prefer to let them wander where they want, but spotting one always makes my day.
I love how jumping spiders look like they teleport. They move so fast.
Hi all, I have an important thing to note about raising a jumping spider as a pet.
They are indeed excellent pets and Clint is spot on with this breakdown. From my own experience raising many of these over the years, there is a common problem that has arisen in my endeavors;
I have conducted extensive research on this and found very few answers, but here's the point.
Several of my spiders that I've raised from eggs have gone through about 3 sheds, and then somehow have gone COMPLETELY BLIND upon emerging from that shed. This has caused them to fear any insect, regardless of how small, that come to contact with them, refusing to eat since they don't know what is in front of them, and they shortly starve to death. The only thing that has prevented this through trial and error is to expose them to ample amounts of sunlight soon after they shed. This seems to "kickstart" their amazing eyesight that they so nearly-exclusively rely on.
Beside this, follow what Clint says and feed them fairly often (once every few days), spray the inside of their enclosure between feedings because they will drink directly from droplets, of course also include some form of ventilation in their enclosure to prevent molding. Other than that, they should live for a good year after their final shedding, giving you a total of about two years of lifetime after birth.
Thank you for your time and for reading.
I can't find one! And I've been searching like CRAZY. I've got multiple homes set up. But no luck yet. My six year old son and I want pet jumpers bad but can't afford them at $30 a sling at the exotic pet store.
@@rebelicious407 I recommend watching the video on Snake Discovery about finding jumping spiders if you need some help
@@bagelman2634 I've watched it! LoL I'm just in the wrong county! I love the little breeds(hentz I think) I have they have huge personalities. And the colors and patterns if they were furry I would think they were the same as the ones in snake discovery video. Maybe they are so small I can't see the hairs and they are actually a sling of a breed I want.
in nature I see a lot of fresh molts around, either completely transparent, milky white or greenish. Probably one of the only spiders that I see before their exoskeleton is fully hardened, so I wouldn't be surprised if they really do need sunlight etc.
here in germany we have jumping spiders running around that are even smaller, but just as curious and handleable, i am always happy when i find one outside and can look at it for some minutes
Hää wo bro, hab noch nie eine gesehen

I’ve been terrified of spiders my whole life.
But I think that jumping spiders are so incredibly cute and I love them soooooo much
I love jumping spiders! We had a pet jumper who hung out in our upstairs bathroom for a while, and I was sure she had a friendly personality. She would come out when we were in there, like she wanted to hang out. 😃

What I enjoy a lot about this channel is that he speaks from an educated background.
Sorry I'm late,but I personally find jumping spiders to be the most amazing and funniest spiders in the world. Been handling and experiencing the quirks of the species which made me learn to love them. A few species I in counted made me love them even more,by flipping and rolling away from my hand. It mainly was the Zebra jumping spider along with newer jumpers that I've seen.
The lucas cartoon turned me and my mom onto jumping spiders. This last year we've had a pet jumping spider hang out, around the front door. Everybody leaves him alone and takes photos. Your videos help me fall in love and have respect for animals. I'm off to watch more "bugs" and turtles videos. Thank you. I appreciate the pets that shouldn't be pets you talk about.
I’ve subconsciously decided that if clint doesn’t have a video about an animal I want then I don’t need it lol😂
I never thought a reptile could pass the corn snake
Jumping spiders:Allow us to introduce ourselves
They're essentially little cats. They act so similar
Except they are 90% interested in you where cats are only 40% interested in you XD
Just got my first jumping spider recently. They are absolutely adorable! I have been keeping reptiles for some time but recently have added a couple of tarantulas. Would love to see more videos! Have watched your channel a long time. Always learn something new. Thanks for sharing!
I found my very own jumping spider while out doing yard work today. My little girl loves it and named it Itsy Bitsy. Thank you for this great, inspirational video!
Such a cute name
I didn't know people kept jumping spiders, I always see them and I'm like "those things are so cute and awesome looking... I WANT ONE!" Now I really want one lol
Love your clear uncomplicated videos you do thanks for this one in helping me decide to get a jumping spider to go along side my tarantulas
Wow, he's big. The ones in my area normally get to about a quarter of his size from what I can tell
A jumping spider is the first spider I've ever handled without having a heart attack.
I remember finding one when I first moved into my apartment, and it was soo sweet! When it noticed I had a light on it, it raised it's front legs and messed around with its shadow!
Every time I see a jumping spider, it reminds me of the anime ''Ghost in the Shell''. They had sentient tanks designed like jumping spiders. 😀
I just adopted two jumping spiders and I love them SO much
I'm not really a spider guy... But these guys are so cute!!!
And totally rad too😋
"these big forward facing eyes that make them look adorable"
Look at an ogre spider and you learn how too much of a good thing is bad.
The face of the wolf spider looks like a sad snowman that lost its nose.
ogre spiders have longer faces, it‘s different. i still find them kind of cute, actually.

@@catpoke9557 👍
Jumping spiders are adorable! My absolute favorite arachnids.❤
I don’t think I could hold it but I can appreciate it’s existence.
I just got my enclosure yesterday and I’m so exited to get one!
Edit: this is a few hours later and I just found a regal jumping spider! Her names cookie!
I've had enclosures set up forever and have been looking for a jumper for a long time for my six year old son and I. No luck at all! Where do you live? Lucky!!
@@rebelicious407 try looking in cracks of mailbox’s and on the sides of your house you can try places like lampposts too hope you guys find one I would also recommend watching both of snake discovery’s videos about jumpers hope you guys find one and stay safe.
Sup, Cookie?
@@Fw.bodden I'm in central fl and I have looked in all those places I just don't live where regals or bolds live. I watch snake discovery. I've watched kids pull them off siding of there houses I just am not in the right place I guess.
I live in Australia so finding spiders is as simple as looking around but its sorta suicide all our spiders are fucked mate
i like spiders, a Tarantula video could be a lot of fun.🕷LOL I found my jumping spider on the kitchen counter.😁
We might just need to make one :)
How about a huntsman spider or wolf spider episode?
@Clint's Reptiles Jumping spiders are sofa king cool, I'm just glad you made this video!
Looking through RUclips I found this video. Jumping Spiders are the cutest! I instantly became a subscriber and love all your videos. You have encouraged me to get a reptilian and am currently setting up a bio enclosure for a Leopard Gecko! Thanks, Dr. Clint!

Yes!! She looks just like the one I had 14 years ago! I found her inside my screen door and decided to feed her my household pests. She was so much fun and I love their curiosity and cuteness. She passed away 2 months later, shortly before her eggs hatched. I released the babies.
I've been yearning to keep one again but have not found any more, in the wild or online. :c
Check your backyard in your garden (if you have one) or places with lots of plants. That where I found mine.
I’m scared of most spiders but garden spiders, orb weavers, and jumping spiders have always seemed fairly benign and friendly.
You helped me get over my fear of spiders/insects by planting the cuteness in my head, back in march i found a dwarf jumping spider in my room, i had no idea it was a dwarf when i found him, i've kept him since then, and recently found out he is "metacyrba taeniola" and i've overcome alot with that little guy, his name is kratos, and since then i got a regal jumping spider, and a mexican red knee terantula, i no longer see insects as a fearful thing, instead intreguing, the reason for the fear is long and complicated, but it comes from my childhood.
So i just wanted to say thank you for making this wonderful content, and sharing your passion with the world, it's touched me and changed mine forever.
“they’re just such majestic little creatures 😁” 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Bless you for posting this! I’ve been asking everyone if they knew what kind of spider Lucas was. They either didn’t know or didn’t know Lucas.
I’ve been wanting one since I started following him. Now, thanks to you, I know what kind he is and how to keep him and what to feed him if I can find one! I’ve never seen any spiders around here in Pennsylvania that are jumping spiders. Guess I’ll do the techno thing and see if I can get one on the internet!
Thanks, Clint! As far as I’m concerned, any creature you’d like to feature is great with me! You make them all interesting!
First video of yours I've just clicked on, curious on jumping spiders - Just want to say great intro, not only short and sweet, it actually gave me that same good feeling as if I had watched a 30 second intro on TV and was excited for the show to start. Clever hahaha!
I'm pretty new to this channel (this is the 3rd video I've watched I think) and I just needed to tell you that your enthusiasm for these creatures and spreading information is really nice to see :)
