RE: Taming the Jumping Spider

Oh, awesome! No wonder her butt is so big, I was thinking "that's one well-fed male", haha. Just a healthy female. I reckon if you check out some online hobby groups you might find someone willing to lend their male for breeding (most arrangements I've heard of do a 50-split on the surviving slings that reach their 2nd instar). Bold and regals are quite popular for hobbyists. I think Facebook is where you'll have most luck, but perhaps other socials. Or your local pet store might know? Worth a shot.

There is an animal expo near me that sometimes has jumping spiders for sale along with all sorts of exotic spiders. These little daring jumping spiders are fairly common around here in the wild so in spring when they come out again maybe there will be a male to catch.
