Got another pet

Hey guys, I know it’s pretty quick after the anole situation. But I didn’t actually use ANY money on this pet.

So, the other day, I was just sitting in my chair alone being sad after the anole died. I looked at my window next to Spyro’s cage and saw a spider on there. I don’t know about you but I’ve always loved bugs since I was 5 lol.

I took a cup and paper and put it into a tiny container. It was a Bold Jumping Spider. And jumping spiders are my fav! It’s like the universe just sent me a pet after feeling bad about the anole….

I just put it in a 4 x 4 x 11 round butterfly thing.


I just kept it in there for a day or so. I then identified her sex and found out she’s a female! She’s also a cute little juvenile. I named her くも. If your wonder what くも is, it’s “ spider “ in Japanese. Pronounced “ Kumō.”

I then decided I didn’t want to buy a jumping spider enclosure off of Etsy for $50 so I DIYed it.

I took a dog treat plastic container. I then used a hot glue gun to just melt little air holes into the top and sides. Then I took sticks and sphagnum moss. I made her a little nest using a plastic thing and sphagnum moss.

I am going to add a door tomorrow. And I already know how I’m going to do it. Kumo is already in her cage though.

I put in one mealworm for her becuase I know they’ll eat until they die and she latched onto it and ate the entire day. I’ll add some pictures of her :) she has a little orange dot on her abdomen.


Just saying, THIS IS NOT A FINAL TANK! I am going to add more stuff to her enclosure.


She’s also a fuzzy little girl :3

Congrats! I’m a total arachnophobe, but jumping spiders are cute. Well, at least their faces are. They lose me when they grow those big abdomens.
lol, if their abdomens grow bigger than their heads then that means their over fed and might burst from over feeding… they will eat until they die so that’s why I’m only feeding my girl every 5 days to a week
