    Correction- Sponges are not recommended for water dishes due to potential bacteria buildup. Thanks for the reminder, guys! I totally forgot about that! I'll correct myself in our upcoming tarantula video :)

      what makes them cool for me is that they seem to be pretty intelligent they actually look like they they are thinking, unlike most spiders who just crawl braindead over your face, even tho you are 10000 times his size and an apex predator normal spiders are insane and dumb, a jumping spider stays away from you, its aware of its surroundings.

    Fun fact: I lived in Japan for a summer. Jumping spiders were everywhere. At first they freaked me out. One day I was playing videogames. After about an hour I looked down to see a jumping spider just watching me play. He continued to watch the game for a good 10 minutes, intermitantly flitting around. Then he just wandered off.
    They freaked me out a little less after that.

      So back in the day I broke my arm horribly and it required a serious amount of surgery and hardware to save my arm. A few years later the hardware started causing some bone spurs and more nerve damage, so I had it removed, and I asked to keep it. I turned it into a sparkly chandelier ornament that hangs in my window most of the year and on my Christmas tree during the holidays. It’s one of my most prized possessions. I totally feel the body part home decor. Best decorating tip I share with a spider.
      EDIT: Apparently people are misunderstanding me. I did not have my arm amputated, I just had all the hardware removed. My ornament is just a bunch of surgical plates, screws and pins hung together with fishing wire in a mobile. It’s not like I have a preserved limb. I highly doubt that’s even legal, as it would be considered a biohazard.

    I remember I had one in my house, he lived behing my stereo tuner. I use to tap on the shelf and it would come running out because I would feed him a fly each time. He had the run of the house chasing down flies on the lamp shades, ... everywhere. He had no fear whatsoever of me and would jump on my hand and look at me. It astonished me that it was so smart as to recognize me as no threat and we roomed together for quite some time. One day he was just gone and I have to admit I was sorry for the absence as I regarded him with affection and fascination.

      A couple years ago I saw an interesting one on a staircase railing in a garden
      I was looking closely at it, it kept turning to face me, seems like it was looking me right in the eye
      It had a red patch on its butt, hadn’t seen that before
      Anyhow I left it where it was and went in the house
      Went to the kitchen
      And noticed the spider was on my kitchen counter !!
      Only thing I can think is that when I turned to walk away it jumped onto me
      And jumped to the counter when I got to the kitchen
      It followed me home ❤
      I wish I’d kept it as a pet
      I just took it back outside to the spot I found it originally on that railing

An hour and half later when I got to my folks' farm it looked around and descended from it's silk safety line. Hope you enjoyed the ride and the country with plenty of things to catch and eat!

    After encountering my first jumping spider, I instantly wanted to keep it. But i didn't know how, and put it back outside. Then I found your video! Just today I found a young jumping spider. i'm assuming it's a boy. I put him in a jar and looked up several videos to refresh my knowledge, and now I have a pet jumping spider! I named him Sailor. He's really liking his habbitat so far. I used a ball jar with one of those lids with very small holes in it so that there is air circulation. I put a piece of drift wood in for him to climb on, allong with a fake succulent. I used plant starter dirt stuff for the ground. Thank you so much for you video! Now I can say I have two goats, three cats, and a spider!! :D

      @swayback7375 Год назад +4

      Reasonable chance those babies were actually a totally separate species, maybe not, obviously the babies are smaller, However there’s many different species but in my experience it’s not common to find them until they are roughly half grown.
      Honestly there’s soooo many jumpers around, it would be shocking to us if we saw all of the ones that see us.
      Many are ant mimics that we just dismiss as an ant and don’t investigate, which is their goal.
      Just sitting outside quietly and watching usually reveals more of them than if I actually went looking for them

      Dank creeper [2nd channel] - Ball pythons are great snakes to start with. I have 4 (so far!!!) and a Pearl Island Boa. They both stay under 5feet, so they won’t overwhelm you with size. Ball pythons have a great docile temperment, so you’re not likely to get bit either, and if you do it’s not a big deal.I have 12 tarantulas now (just got 2 more last week) and they are mostly docile also, depending on the species.

    I joined a bug group on facebook years ago, and it helped me learn about spiders and other scary bugs. If you’re attempting to warm up to them a little, maybe help lower your panic, jumping spiders are the way to go! Cute lil buggers, I feel like they’re more predictable as their legs kinda tell you where they plan on going 🤣

    I'm really afraid of spiders. One day I noticed a black jumping spider on the fence. On my way to work ,he would come out on the fence and follow me to my car. (Only a few feet). When I got home he'd be there and follow me back toward my house. This went on for over I weeI or more. I became attached to the little guy. One day he wasn't there when I got home. Here he beat me to the gate and I went to close it and too late, he got crushed by the latch. I was devastated . I went crying into the house.my husband told me I must be crazy. To this day, 10 years later, I still feel awful about it.

    I had a pet jumping spider who lived in the house with me for 2 years. During the summer months, she lived in the window next to the AC and would catch the bugs that snuck in through the gaps. In the winter time, she moved down the hall to the back bedroom where the furnace is lol. I thought she had died the first seasonal change, but I caught her going through the hall a few times through the winter. She did finally pass though, I knew something was wrong because I found her in the bathroom sitting on the shelf and she wasn’t moving. She came to say goodbye.

    I remember a house spider that made a web in my bedroom window. She was just young at the time that I first saw her, just barely the size of a cherry pit, and despite me being afraid of spiders, I let her be since I figured she would stay in the window anyways, and my bed and desk were on the other side of my room anyways. I was more worried about the weird beige spiders that would actively hunt and move around in my room anyways, so a house spider that was no doubt going to stay in one place most of the time was the least of my worries.
    There was a tiny hole in the window frame where she would hide out until she ended up getting too big for it. She was a big girl, too, with an abdomen about the size of a quarter, hence why I assumed she was a female. She was actually so docile that I was comfortable enough to walk up and get a close look at her while she was in her web, so much so that I actually got a good look at her diamond-like markings. She never darted and was usually very placid, even when taking down whatever got caught in her web. Being an unoriginal nerd, I nicknamed her Charlotte.
    Roughly a year and a half later, it's the last day of officially moving to our new house, and as I was grabbing the last of my things and saying goodbye to the place I spent my entire life in, I noticed Charlotte wasn't in her web. I looked down to see her sitting on the windowsill, totally still. She wasn't even in a death curl. I found it pretty poetically bittersweet that my last day in that room was hers as well. I wasn't about to cry over a spider that made its home in my window well over a year ago, but I did find myself feeling a little sad.
    I think, ever since then, I've regarded every spider in my room as something of a roommate that ranged from annoying to tolerable. I think Charlotte was the only one I actually grew somewhat attached to, even to the point where I would greet her in the morning.
    Except the little hunting spiders. They're not welcome. git out
    EDIT 16/05/2021: So there's a new spider in my window! Same species as Charlotte, and she's in the same corner that Charlotte took at my old house! Funny how that turns out. Perhaps Charlotte followed me ;)

      I also don't mind the webbuilding spiders. I named mine Oscar, was a orange colored garden spider. He built his home at the one window i had half open most of the time, and because there was a light nearby, a lot of flying insects tried to get into the room through that window slit. Oscar had a lot to eat :) grew so big, his net spanned half the window, there was no way for any insect to fly into the room without crossing and getting stuck int he web. It was the perfect symbiose. If there was like a week of very cold unusual weather, and oscar not feeding at all, i'd put up a lamp and just shine outside at evenings, and all kinds of moths and night insects came flying into the light, which mean into oscars net :)
      I absolutely hate those black hunting spiders tho. the ones that dont build nets, just creep around on walls....i mean if they were tiny like jumping spiders, np...but no ! they have to be the biggest spiders that exist in my country...i dont care if they only eat rollypollies, they freaking love to walk on the wall 1foot away of my face when mi trying to fall asleep...

In a video he posted showing the mantis trying to eat cicada or something, the mantis gets attacked by the cicada and retreats onto the guys hand, which seemed pretty bizarre to me, but i suppose it makes sense one way or another. lol

    One thing at 7:50, I've been keeping spiders for a while now and, in my experience, you shouldn't put a cotton ball or sponge in their water dish. Most, if not all spiders can't drown and instead don't break the surface tension on water and just float. Cotton balls and sponges generally do nothing but act as a breeding ground for bacteria. A normal, appropriately sized water dish will do them just fine. As for feeders some people do put a small rock in their dish so the feeder can climb on it and not drown.

Sadly my container for him opens at the top by sliding with a little magnet to keep it secure, but so far he prefers the top of his bark to make a little nest. Hopefully it isn't too much of an issue. The container was only $18 so not too much of a loss if i need to get him a different one. I have a feeling he was dehydrated when i bought him bc the second i put his old container into his new one, i sprayed the side of one wall and he IMMEDIATELY crawled out of his old container to get water. I expected him to spend a lot more time adjusting and coming out of his old container that i bought him in.

    I have one that runs loose in my apartment. I have conversations with him. He's me little sidekick, so I've named him Bucky. He disappears for days at a time but reappears every now and again. He likes the south facing window. I first found him walking on the ceiling. He pretty much stays in the living room as far as I know. It's nice to have him around. I hope he's still around in a few weeks when mosquito, gnat, and housefly season kicks in. He is going to have so much food to hunt then.

My favorite story is one day I was on my computer and this lil spooder dude jumped onto monitor and chased my cursor all over trying to eat it. Cutest thing ever. Thought the lil guy was hungry, lucky for him, I have a chameleon, so that also means I have feeder insects. So, the lil dude had a full belly when it was all over. 😊

My grandaughter became a grandma when we rehomed the isopods and realized that one of them had babies. My grandaughter was 7yrs old so she was thrilled.

    About a month ago I was in my swimming pool and I saw a little jumping spider drowning in it. Of course, I had to save him. At first he wouldn't move at all, I thought he was dead, but in a few minutes he slowly started to crawl around. I had just been watching this video the day before so I decided to take him in. I didn't have anything set up so I decided to add him as a little addition to my 30 gallon garter snake tank. It's a bio-active setup so there are lots of little isopods, springtails, and other small insects for him to feed on. He has made himself a little nest and every day I see him jumping around in the tank. His name is Bob.
    Update: RIP Bob (Don't worry it was the end of his life span and this was like a retirement home for him)
    Update #2: I got an other (regal jumping spider) and I need a name, any suggestions?
    Update #3 (Final Update): The new spiders is named Rex.
