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.
Spider: "Hey! Where'd you get that?" Fly: "Run for your life!!"
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.
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.
What kind of container is small enough for the slings??

Thank you so much because I was just wondering that myself and now I know ❤
This was awesome. Watching these little babies collect the water & catch their prey put a smile on my face! Who knew. I enjoyed watching this very much. Thank you 😊
Love the cheeky intro! 👌🏽🤣 and dang that was a lot of lil jumpers! Super cute 🥰
To right super cute
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!
Ahhh spidey daddy. That looked worse than herding cats. LOL
That was chaotic yet peaceful. Chaotically peaceful. 🤔😆
No that music was bumpin 🙏🏼 I need it for my spiders dance club.
I can't believe I've spent most of my life fearing spiders 15 years ago still fearing spiders I wanted a G.rosea. Yes werner you fear spiders but you want a tarantula i'm nuts, now my fear is gone and I have more than a few tarantulas, those jumping spiders are cute!
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Drew Franco instablaster =)
@Nathan Ares thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Nathan Ares It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Drew Franco happy to help =)
Very ingenious ! Those jumpers are tiny indeed, the fruit flies seems as big as they are. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
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.
Babiessss!!🥰 (Also: Super fun music in this video!)
At least they are adorable escapees 😂 Yai for weekly update! Always look forward to your videos
I enjoyed the intro music. Those little ones are so cute. Jumping spiders are such curious and active little things. Entertainment in small package. Thanks for showing them to us. 😃🕷🕸
GOD BLESS
OK best kazoo intro ever !
Fantasy invention! Great video! Thanks!
Dude you are a life saver! I got home from work and found an egg sack on a banana. I have no idea what species. This vid has immensely helped!
Thank you for the info. I am new to jumping spiders and lucky enough to have found a female that had babies recently. Amazing!!
Love the set up in your room
your resourcefulness and ingenuity is amazing !! great work!! :D wonderful video :D
Someone sold me her jumping spiders last egg sac at the invert show i went to. It was the last sac of 4 and only about 10 babies emerged but omg they are adorable! Seeing them make catches whilst so tiny never ceases to amuse and surprise me lol
Your patience and love for your animals are REALLY great, Alex
Your videos really are top-notch Mr. G. Love seeing the success you are having! Keep up the great work.
Thank you ! Exactly what I need to know !!
This was an excellent idea!!! I would've never thought of that!!! Great job!!!❤
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.
thinking about trying my luck with a couple slings but I have no clue what to do, is there any sort of complete guide
Got your hands full there Alex!!
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
Adorable lil baby jumpers! Nice job!
🤣🤣🤣 the opening! You’re amazing! Love your channel. I learn something new every video, and have a laugh or two.
so tiny and cute
I just love these little guys and you did a wonderful job of raising them. Thanks for showing us these cute babies.❤️😍
Got our very first couple of these coming to us this spring ....we have never ventured outside the Tarantula realm so we will see ...and congrats on the tiny sweet things 💜
Congratulations!!
I cut a porthole in the side secured with tape for access although I like your idea too
hello great video rehouseing Alex
Great video! Really helped me figure out how to manage all these little spiders. Thank You.
Looked like a bit of a nightmare. Great fun though I bet lol great video as usuall thank you for the advice Alex
A couple of great ideas Alex and a lovely video to go with it Brilliant.
I like the music! 🎶🕸🕷🕸
Love the video Alex. Seems like you're raising those babies just fine. Enjoyed the music in the video.... it's nice.
Well done! Very ingenious!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this video!!
Awesome idea, Alex! Great video!! Love the babies!!
How cute are these little guys!
cool episode! thanks
Great idea.
Finally a care video for phidippus regius spiderlings 😄😄😄
Nice work, thx
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. ❤
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.What did you use for substrate in cup?I have the cups and grassy stuff because I make cultures.
I loved the song lol
Very interesting. I'm scared of spiders but I've been drawn to these cute jumping spiders.
Very cute! Nice work
What an awesome video 👍
Alex you’re so funny lol and what a genius idea 👏🏼👌
Amazing footage of those little ones hunting the fruit flies!
Alex they are adorable I loved this video
Great solution. Yes i know people that uses funnels in the same way as you. It works great
Such tiny babies!!! 😍😍
Excellent idea! Great footage.
I was scared of spiders but only a few days ago i when to the reptile show and ask for someone to put a tarantula on me and I wasn’t scared anymore and now I have a curly haired tarantula and a jumping spider
Smart fix
Great video! Thanks 🙏🏼 is it okey to have a little bit substrate on the bottom of a baby ( I4/I5 ) enclosure ? Thanks
Nice, this will help me! 😅
I use a straw or one of those baby, nasal aspirator bulbs, to gently blow air on my slings, to move them.
Thank you. My jumping babies just came out of the web I'm sure we lost some in my room because the container I had mom in had breathing wholes big enough that they could get out..
I would love to hear you talking more about the slings and what you are doing than to hear music. Especially now that I am considering a jumping spider as a new family member.
Thank you, that was a great video! What is the size of the bolt?
Great video! They're so cute!
Great video
That's amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Love this system!! Thanks for sharing. Great video
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!
Great video! Enjoyed every bit of it. Jumping spiders are the sure cure for arachniphobia =))
How you doing sir . I found one of those on my porch and It had babies I’m trying to take care of them where did you get those cups? And how do I get the fruit flies
A cork you drill a hole in the very center of the lid making sure you have a cork that fix or a plastic stopper or use a small square piece of tape one small one large put them together cover up the hole
You're so lucky, my girl Pip had a sac, but only about 15 hatched and they all died within the next couple of days. She arrived as an adult and made the sac in the first week I had her, I'm seriously considering getting her a boyfriend now!
would putting the sac in a micro-mesh butterfly enclosure work?
freezer works for me i do 5 minutes . usally takes them 1 minute to come back. thats plenty of time for what i need
Hi...im wanting to breed jumping spiders too. Ive read they are attracted to light. What is your thoughts on shining a light at bottom of the container to draw them? Would this work? Or...a gentle turkey baster type of device? Thoughts???
I know this video is long ago .... but I wanted ask ... if you can help me find somewhere I can Find a jumping spider. Pleaseee !!!
Hello I am Curious i have a bold jumping spider. how long does it take to get adult size.love jumping spider the rest i am scare of spiders.. thanks so much he only molted once so far
My little slings aren’t really eating? Is that normal? They still
Prefer to group together or stay in the web nest.
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….
I have a problem- my phidippus audax (bold) jumping spider had babies. I’ve been trying to feed them but they’re so small- fruit flies aren’t working, they’re still scared of them. what should I do?
at what time should we separate captive bred slings P. regius? I have L3-4-5
Great video! How long can they stay in a communal set-up? Thanks!!
if you dont have fruit flies, do you think killing something bigger and they all can suck from it works?
Theres a daves beasties video of 200 adult jumpers all in one jar. So sad. I tried telling him its not right cuz theyre cannabals and he got mad and said im wrong. 😔 i know im right. THEY HAVE TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE START. when they start eating. Nice technique w the screw. Love it
Wow, that was a lot of water, and big droplets. A small fine mist sprayer is much better!
What kind of plant is that. Where to order fruit fly culture?thanks!
Every video I watch about this has so many unanswered questions. How did you make the lid? What material is underneath? Or is there somewhere to buy? How do you decide how many fruit flies to put in?
The deli tubs with lid, I bought at Pangea Reptile www.pangeareptile.com/collections/shipping-supplies/products/insect-fruit-fly-cup-and-lid
The substrate I used in this video I believe was straight sphagnum moss and some excelsior for them to climb on. As far as the fruit flies I just estimate it. You want to feed frequently so if some don’t eat one time, they’ll eat the next. I won’t lie, they’re difficult to raise. I ended up releasing most and keeping a small handful.
@@TarantulaHaven thank you for the info!! they have definitely been trial & error. I'm having a harder time getting their mom to eat... i thought she died a bunch of times but she's still going. she was wild before so I'm not sure if i should let her go. the babies i think i only have about 14 or so left, not sure how many I'll end with. but I'm feeding and watering them and they're very cute so I'm hopeful. this is all new for me but it's pretty cool.
O I wish I had one! I'm a beginner and I think one of those would be ok
This was great. Tfs. I have some p.audax babies just about ready to come out of the sac. I recently had to save them from a mite infestation out of nowhere by separating them from mom into a new jar, with mom in a new clean jar as well. Turns out, she was preparing for another batch of eggs. Lol anyway. Idk where the mites came from. But they're dead and in the trash now. It was so nerve wracking.
By the way, where did you get those fruit flies? My baby spider hasn't eaten in days.
