Jumpers are fascinating. So much personality in a small package. Other spiders are zero to attack in one second, maybe some chill exploring in between. Jumpers seem genuinely curious and interactive.
So sorry to hear that. Their short lifespans are their only downside. There are longer lived true spiders that can be fun to keep, and tarantulas can be remarkably long-lived (some of mine will probably outlive me), but jumpers have a special magic to them.

😍 Adorable thank you! Is that a female P. regius? What other spoods do you keep?

Yep. I’ve got a male regal jumper as well. The spider pictured passed a few weeks ago unfortunately.
