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 :)

jumping spiders are basically the only spiders that don’t creep me out. They’re friend shaped
friend shape is the best description ive ever heard!
Same
Same lol
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.
Ikr!?! I'm scared of spiders but like, these ones are so cute!
me: arachnophobia

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.
that’s adorable
also that jumping spider: wrong move, no not that item, no no no not that
I lived in Yokosuka for 2 years and they're the only insect that I enjoyed lol.
@@FFWeeWoo watch out for cell 👀
@@FFWeeWoo Spiders are not insects
Fun encounter I’ve had with a bold jumping spider: We were playing with the cat with a laser pointer at the time, and noticed the spider on the ceiling- surprise surprise, the jumping spider was also very interested in the laser 😂 She chased it around for a good three minutes before getting bored and wandering off lol
Jumpers are oddly cat-like.
me: hates spiders
also me: "well that's it, I'm getting a jumping spider"
So how is it
They are SCARY ummmis it bad ive killed 2 in my house in the past day ooppsss
@@itzchloeann2016 that makes me sad ): theyre great at taking care of insects
@@fluffyrat4440 sowwy it was inside my bed covers and i didnt know what to do XD
They only live like a year tough....
So you get attached and then it dies :(
Ah yes, my old arm shall be a fantastic addition to my house
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.
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 thats amazing
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 reminds me of a friend. She has a plate from her broken arm as a keychain and it doubles as a bottleopener
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 thats cool but i cant help but think of that true crime case where he turned bodies into ornaments
Something Mischievous Ed Gheen(?) who made lampshades and such from women’s bodies/skin
My first encounter with a jumping spider blew my mind - as despite being such a tiny little thing, they could very clearly SEE me from a distance and understood I was another creature of some kind (they kept backing up behind an object to hide from me as I tried to get a better look) Stole my heart immediately
First time i saw one it was climbing up a fence it didnt see me
You got a shy one then. Most of my little plant guardian pals practically get out their top hats and canes when I say hi.
these spiders can see up to 10 times better than us iirc. They watch us.
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
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.
My wife: Why did you spend $45 on a cage and all this stuff to put in it?
Me: ...goes outside for 10 minutes and comes back in with a jumper the size of a pea
My wife: You've arranged all of this for a bug you found in the backyard?
Me: His name is Luca Brasi.
how is Luca Brasi doing?

There's a big jumping spider in my garden and I usually give it flies I catch cuz I want to be it's friend, today I was doing the usual when I saw it caught a bee sized fly, I was so proud, I might make an enclosure for it lmao
There needs to be more videos like this for potentially phobia-inducing creatures! The comfort level she had with the spider was really wholesome!
I had a jumper on my motorcycle dash where the windscreen bolts on a few weeks ago. It seemed to enjoy the ride, turning and staring at the large one eyed spider (me with helmet visor down) and then turning and watching the road ahead. 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!
"Just needed to hitch a ride, see ya dude!" 😂
"Hey, Mom, remember how I wanted a snake and you said no way in hell? Here's a new idea: SPIDERS."

Hey, I did that!! My parents DO NOT want a snake but a tiny little spider is ok, I mean a tarantula is cooler butt...this is ok!!
Biggest mood yet
This. Is. MEEEEEE
me: hates spiders but hes kinda cute.
also me: oh lord he's moving too fast.
but they're not moving like other spiders. means: they will run a little, stop to turn around an look at you,. step step, cute eyes looking at you, booty shake step step. you can dance with them!
agree
Thats also me lol
I LOVE ALL SPIDERS
@@hintergrundmusik8835 I wanna dance with them. :'( They're so precious.
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
How is he? Does he eat

edit:
There’s a jumping spider that lives in my backyard! She’s not a baby though so I’ve decided to leave her be.
edit 2: I was at an event out of town and found a couple babies! Unfortunately I had nothing to keep them in so I had to leave them, but one of them jumped on my hand and chilled with me for a bit :))
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
Kid: "Hey Mom, can I get a pet?"
Mom: "Yes but only if you promise to buy one with legs and fur"
Kid: "Okay mom, I promise"

I made a jumper drider character and looked up jumper spider feet. They look like cat paws. I’ve been calling them eight legged cats.
i mean it does got legs and fur :
what about a hairy frog
who says that? literally who

Me: 👀
You: 👁👄👁
(I know this was a joke but you could always try and keep a jumping spider! Might help you get over your fear of spiders a lil!)
@@jesperlivid9184 i'm sorry. Despite how adorable that spider was and idk how to write his name I will literally have a panic attack in his presence and I would rather have a day where I can actually function.
Same though. These guys are actually cute
I think Jumping spiders are the most intelligent and most docile Spiders
spiders don't go out and attack people but some are aggressive when approached because they feel threatened like the Funnel Web gets insanely mad when you are near it but Jumpers just look at you
I used to be TERRIFIED by spiders (had a traumatic experience when i was young, grew up in an area full of wolf spiders and NOT the small ones)
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 actually let them on me, never thought I’d see the day! (just the jumping spiders, i’m biased)
Yeah wolf spiders are insane dude. It’s a little intimidating that a spider would see a bipedal giant and think “ I think I’ll fight this thing now “ and it really isn’t afraid of you. It wants the violence
I found one of these little guys yesterday! If i'd seen this sooner i would've kept him. Super cutie, he had a heart shaped spot
Me : looks at little spider and says "Awwww"

Awwwwww so cute
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.
That's awful. Try not to beat yourself up over it though, it was an accident.
Don’t forget reincarnation hasn’t been disproven; maybe he will come back and visit you.
Sad I would die for it 😢
at least it wasn't death by praying mantis.
:(
The varieties that you were featuring is the spider that help to get me over my rock a phobia….. with jumping spiders, and not panic when I see other ones. He lived in my office in the window in my desk. I was fascinated with him after a while. I was determined not to let this unreasonable fear rule me any longer. She was extremely good at getting rid of my flies that would come in periodically. This explains why she would sit on my desk and watch me work as a draftsman.
I love all spiders, but I have to say that jumping spiders are my favorite. They're cute, they have great personality, and they're good for helping other people get over their fear of spiders.
Edit: random but fun fact, jumping spiders can recognize their owners.
I hate spiders. Petrified. But I've wondered if I should try 1 if these guys. I'm in UK so would have to buy 1, too cold for them to live here. But I honestly cannot see it getting rid of my fear of the other huge creepy f*ckers that run around ya house, I just can't see it changing that. These are different all together.
Another fun thing to google: "jumping spider with raindrop hat". Water droplet hats are very stylish and cute!
LOL
Genious. Love it.
Thank ya for the suggestion lol I love it

I have one male jumping spider he is so cute and playing he jumps to my face whenever I come to his enclosure and open his house
Same I don’t know if my apartment allows jumping spiders
@@ceilidhmacmullin I think they won't care because a jumping spider is smaller than a fingernail.
Really enjoyed this video, lots of clear direct info, minimum “advertising” even though it wasn’t sponsored, and offering cheap alternatives instead of pushing expensive products onto viewers!
They’re honestly the only spiders I’m cool with. I saw one the other day when taking out the trash and when I went to lift the handle, a jumping spider was underneath it. It scared me for a second, but I realized what breed it was lol. The spider just kind of observed me for a second then went back to lounging around then I tossed my trash.
I had a cross orb weaver as a “pet.” She was a beautiful female named Judy. I sat on my porch at night and watched her build her web. I talked to her and she would moved around her front legs when she heard my voice. She made it so I am a lot less scared of bugs/invertebrates.
I had a female orb weaver near my porch as a kid too. I caught grasshoppers and tossed them into her web. One day i realized her web was gone and found out these boys did me a "favor" and got rid of her for me. I was pissed to say the least
snakes are pretty cool if you ask me ohh :,( Id cry man that sucks
@@snakesareprettycoolifyouas756 did you "get rid of them" in return?
snakes are pretty cool if you ask me . Oh hun.... how did you react/what did you do/how did you treat them after?

xleafie haha same
I love snakes
See, we’re willing to check it out because it’s by a channel we trust
same
yes i am scared of them but i will watch it and say awwwww
I found my lil buddy "Hector" on my drapes. I got him a little terrarium, and he's so much fun to watch.
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.
If snakes are called “noodles”, can we call jumping spiders “pouncy-crumbs”?
Edit: dear lord what have I started?
Lucid charts has a video on spiders that you'd probably find hilarious
Spooders is the pet name people in the hobby use.
Yes, yes we can
No, spiders are nopes, jumping spiders are not so nopey nope, AKA Spooders
I approve of pouncy crumb lol
You actually almost talked me into getting a spider (I'm terrified of spiders).
Same
100% same
Yep, almost!
Same!!! I want one now.like I've never wanted a spider but here we are...
Look up those mating dances jumping spiders do. Its sooo cute! ♡
I have a jumpy spider in every room. You can usually find them hanging out on the ceiling or in the window. They are super easy going pets.
I’m watching this because I found one today!! I think the same one you have! He crawled right up to me scared me at first he jumped so did I but now he has a beautiful home! And I’m so happy to have him!

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 actually teared up at this I-
I love this so much more than I would like to admit
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...
The beige spiders might be yellow sac spiders.
This was beautiful. 👏🏽💜🕷️✨
i swear this woman has every pet there is and knows how to take care of them.
Snails. I want her to make a video about snails.
@@theoneandonly1158 me tooo!!!
And she's hella adorbz
SCP : You have to remember all the numbers and names and information about all of them??? Snake Discovery : You have to remember all the names, species names and information about them!?
That’s why Snake Discovery is tied with Clint’s Reptiles for the title of my favorite CZcams channel ever!
I have to share. My daughter found an adorable little jumper 2 days ago and he is now proudly in a makeshift habitat on her dresser. She will go outside to hunt for his food right now and has named him LIGHT. We will be making a new habitat for him with a large-ish plastic container and lots of decoration. We will be getting him crickets soon as well. Such an adorable, spoiled little guy, along with our 7 birds, and 2 snakes, and 1 cat. :D
This host is so calming, nice, and friendly that I almost considered getting a spider, but I have come to my senses!!🤣
For those of you who got a horizontal cage, put it on the side, now you got a vertical one.
your genius is almost frightening
Omg, why i didnt think of that
How are you so wise great one?
but the door opens wrong
Bruh. How do you open it then?
I swore I'd never get a pet spider but now I'm extremely tempted.
Jumping spiders are so cute, and personable, you won’t be sorry. I have 10 tarantulas (so far) and I’m going outside to get another jumping spider tomorrow. My last one just died, so I’m getting another one. You can hand feed them also. I stun flys with a swatter, and feed the jumper. There’re like little assassins!!!
Do it
It’s not like a tarantula
Btw I’ve been looking at snakes because of how cute they can smile
So I looked at videos
And now just seeing that tongue is adorable
Blep

I kinda want a jumping spider
And a small snake lol
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.
Chester Swing Jr
Thanks but yeah
Idk I don’t think anyone let me get that
Do it
i had no idea how incredibly easy it is. they are everywhere here in my state and i see them inside the house all the time. thank you for the lesson! they are precious!
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.
I have arachnophobia and I watched this video some time last year, I now have 2 jumping spiders that I am obsessed with. I did think I’d be less freaked out by other spiders but instead atm I’m just putting mine on a pedestal while remaining scared of the others😅
EXACTLY OFIHDHDS a few years ago my mom found one in the house and gifted it to me for Christmas. At the time i was terrified of spider. Fell in love with him, rip wolfie. But now Im less afraid of spiders in general
Basically me 😅 I have really bad arachnophobia but I just asked my wife if we could get one (she has it worse than me) and she said she'll think about it 😀
starting small
I also have arachnophobia but would love to raise these, but I have a cat which would not hesitate to kill anything that moves so I need an isolated room for it.
I know someone that does this with dogs lol
I’ve got one in my room, his name is Barry (I was playing resident evil when I saw him) he just roams around my room and acts as free pest control, he likes to hang around the window, occasionally he will wander over to my desk and just sits on the wall looking at my pc and myself.
I have a little spider roomate too. He's not a jumping spider tho, he's just some tiny little spider. He likes to scare me. I swear every tine he startles me he's like "Hehe I gotchu hooman"
I have a jumping spider in my room too. I noticed him last Autumn, I fed him fruit flies (flightless) from the reptile store all winter, and gave him some spray water. He's free roaming. He's still here and it's Summer. He likes to roam 3 different rooms, even though he has access to the whole house, he's always on the ceiling or walls of those 3 :) He can go out windows too, but he never does.
Oh and his name is Buggy :)
@@angelkotilainen Of course he's never gonna leave, he's getting free food and shelter! He's living the life!
How do you guys find them? They’re so tiny !
I just impulsively bought my first jumping spider last night even though i don't have much knowledge on how to care for one. This video was extremely helpful, thank you so much! 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.
This is the video that introduced me to this channel. I found it, and the leaf disinfecting video when looking up stuff for my jumpers. I didn’t expect to immediately fall in love with this channel and their animals but I’m glad I did.
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.
I was looking for this comment! I’m almost certain that in one of Emily’s expo vlogs, she talks to a tarantula seller who says you shouldn’t put a sponge in the water dish because they can’t drink off the sponge. If it wasn’t Emily’s vlog, it’s someone else well known in the herp circle of CZcams.

I found the video! It’s the lady from mostly reptiles, she says it around 4:30 for anyone curious :)
Ya my friend keeps spiders and she learned from that mistake.because it died now she keeps around 30 spiders and she just mist there encloser.

Cool
Thank you! I was waiting for someone to correct this fact.
I'm terrified of spiders
But the way she talks makes me feel like they're so sweet and cute
She just changes the way I see things
That's why I like her
you can tell she has a passion for these interesting little critters! ^^ i grew up round milk and garder snakes and toads so they some of my fav but these littls fluffy guys helped me with my aracnophobia in a big way... still creept out by the hairless long legged skittery spiders, but jumpers are cute af!, look up australian peacock jumping spiders, they come in many colors and shapes and they dance! so cute.
At first i was terrified of snakes, now i really want to get one as a pet when i move into a place of my own! after I do some research, of course. Also I have now lost my fear of jumping spiders, kind of.
@@shardinhand1243 Searched it, they are so pretty!
I learned today these are apparently the gateway spiders. They help you get over the fear of spiders quickly because of their demeanor amd adorable faces. Which is funny because that's why I ordered one online without knowing that little factoid. I just wanted to get control of my reactions, not jumping or freaking out. I love spiders just afraid to let them actually touch my bare skin.
@@aleeseyamv take it slow my good man, and youll achive it, i still get creept out by most spiders, but the fluffy curious lil jumpin spooders are cute, look up peacock jumping spiders, they are so colorful, they have little mating dances and unferl little fans and and sing to atract females, admitadly theyre singing are just vibrations below human hearing but its still so cute to see them in action dancing theyre lilttle hearts out.
I can't relate to her enthusiasm, but it's contagious. There's a passion for everyone.
This is how good you are as a presenter and educator. NEVER IN LIFE will I own a freaking spider... yet, I'm watching this video!!!
The way a jumping spider looks around its environment and how aware it is show you the intelligence of these little spiders...
@Magdelena Cloutier well i wouldnt say that, praying mantis is the same way, intelligent asf and observe literally everything
totally man. i feel most other spiders just think i am some obstacle, or a nice place to sleep. These dudes like turn around and look up at my face when i screw with them. It's so weird. I feel like they know i'm an animal rather than just the ground, or a wall. I've never been bitten by them.
@Magdelena Cloutier they ain't insects. but praying mantis also seem to be aware of us and they realize that your hand is somehow related to your head, etc. there are some very large ones though, that are kind of creepy compared to these little spiders. lol. i don't like them following me around with their heads. there's a guy on youtube who posts a lot of content with them and he's even shown one that he kept for its entire life. 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
@Magdelena Cloutier me and my kids were watching a little jumping spider on our back slider. I was having fun letting it follow my finger around when my son (who is 5) bopped the glass. The spider, no joke, bent it's head to look into the glass at us. Sat there for a good minute just staring at us
@@ysph I had one basically communicate to me that it wanted to go back outside. However it wouldn't let me carry it out through a door. I had to remove the screen to a window to allow it out.
I love that you guys branch out to things other than reptiles, it's really cool😁
Agree!
agreed!
Yup
yeah
I agree!
Thank you so much for this very informative video on these adorable little buggers! I have always admired the little zebra jumpers and until recently thought I was the only one that recognized their capacity for interaction! In the past few days I've been introduced to the capacity to have these beautiful little creatures in my life every day, and I am tremendously grateful for you instruction. Thank you!
It's deff a bold jumper,I have 1 canopy,1 bold,1 orange phase regal,and we just recently caught a wild tan jumping spider and they are the friendliest and smartest spiders I've ever owned and I love my little guys,my wife builds enclosures and does tiktoks of them and they are just so photogenic..loved the video,keep up the great work
Finally a use for all the macaw feathers I have laying around.
Lol
I know right?!
🤣🤣🤣
Fr 😩
Big brain
I would love to see an update! There are so many new species being bred and collected and Tarantula cribs makes great enclosures for them now!
Jumping spiders are so cute and they're a very intelligent species of spider! I love em! Thanks for this video cuz I've been doing a lot of research on how to care for one! 💗
God I love jumping spiders. About the cutest little things ever. So many great interactions with these lil dudes. 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. 😊
Thats so sweet😩🥺
When you mention a chameleon, I was like hold up...
@@kennethmanuel1094 same hahaha
you're a hero
thats so adorable, it actually made me cry. so sweet
I was sitting outside and went to smack a mosquito on the wall next to my front door, just as i went to hit it a jumping spider came out of nowhere and got it.
I just went:
😱 aahh!
🤔wait, they eat mosquitos?
🤗welcome new friend, stay as long as you like
Yes this was perfect to read 😂
The MeanestKitten mosquitoes bit me 8 time even on my eyelid 🥺luckily it got better time by time with medicine thats why i HATE mosquitoes.
I have always let them BE.
they are beneficial.
You met your spiderbro.
My take from this, just keep a jumping spider with you at all times durning the summer
I found 2 jumping spiders in my garage and decided to keep them. One is a Phidippus audax and the other is a Phidippus johnsoni. They are both doing very well thanks to this video!
I just found an ADORABLE little jumper in my shower, so I had to come back to this video while he vibes in his pill bottle, love your videos and omg thank you so much for existing!!!
The video: "jumping spiders will explore their entire habitat"
my jumping spider: "i like this corner. I will stay here for all of eternity unless i am hungry, then i will sit near my corner and wait for food to come to me."
That just sounds like me, a perpetual and lazy hermit
@@baffled_clam I have never related to something so hard
Your spider is a gremlin
PLEASE HELP ME - I have a jumping spider, named Spooder.
I got a great enclosure for her, planted grass and put in large sticks for her to jump to.
I can't get her to eat. Our local pet supply store, they don't have any small crickets.
I tried ants, stink bugs, and meal worms. She won't eat any of them.
What do I do???
@@stormdancer0 Did she eat yet? How is Spooder?
jumping spiders are basically spider-cats. - They're cute a.f., curious, don't really give a f. about theyr owner and hunt theyr prey by leaping onto them.
I call them octo-kitties.
they also chase after laser pointers :3
Umm
That’s incorrect
They do care about you
You don’t know how to love your pet then
Cats like to be left alone sometimes
Cats are just introverted dogs
Dog for extrovert
Cat for introvert
Anything for both
Ketamine i want,some glasses i need too(sorry for the bad english)
Who says they don't care about their owners? I've heard some stories about these cuties liking company and attention.
Ty for this! I bought my first ever Jumping spider a few hours ago and he or she will be arriving soon so your video was just what i and the new baby needed :)
This was incredibly informative, thank you! We just caught our first one, and I can’t wait to implement these suggestions. ❤
When it's following it's human around I'd like to imagine it's creating a masterplan to finally eat the human. They seem very ambitious.
Why do you want to make spiders look evil
They are harmless
I mean
Kind of
I’ve heard it’s possible for some to bite but it isn’t lethal
@@Lunarcreeper but he's not evil, just ambitious. Spider's should get to dream big don't you think?
Kaboom sihal
Ye
U made it sound mean
Nah, they most likely see us as moving mountains in a large landscape. Also, they can easily find prey when riding humans, and they don't even need to waste a lot of energy to travel large distances that way.
Or she let it watch Arachnophobia lol.
The only spider I know of that I could describe as genuinely cute looking.
Its cause of their huge compound eyes haha
Cute. ??
That eight leg demon you described it has....
*CUTE* looking ???
Aight.....okay.....
I guess....every one definition for "cute" sure.....fascinating

What about spiders wearing water droplets as lil hats
You have never lived in Africa.
This was a very informative and comprehensive video on jumping spiders and now I really want to get 1 or 10 of them. I currently am wild caught isopods with my grandaughter and even had a crustation & isopod birthday party on 8/8/22 for our hermit crabs and isopods. 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. I wonder if you have a video as comprehensive on isopod care and maintenance. We absolutely love you channel. Thank you for sharing
I got one of these on my grow room he is awesome and loves the lights he also helps keep my plants protected!!!
I keep my spiders outside. Sometimes they get in the house, I don't know how, and then they leave. Maybe I'm the one in the cage.
Damn.
Hey Charles, wanna see my pet human?
Hey Charles, is there any new Child you hit on?
@@mr.mothly Sure 😏

Don’t we all?

Ariana Phillips bruh, everyone is saying that now EVERY SINGLE TIME someone says that
Me and I'm getting a leopard gecko

thanks so much for this video! Ive recently been looking into getting one as a pet and have never owned any exotic creatures.
I had one adopt me yesterday! He was sitting on my paper towel roll. Thank you for this video, now I know how to take care of George!!
This girl has great energy, you can tell how passionate she is about animals
Exactly, it's cute and interesting! She's completely in her World and I love it.
She has charisma and probably can sound like that with any subject
i think the crickets might disagree with you 😂
that ain't an animal
@@seymour0375 spiders are an animal noob
Ohhh so that’s what they are called. When I was a kid the boys in school love those and plays with them, they usually store then in match boxes.
Do you live in the Philippines? I heard people there keep weaver spiders in match boxes to make them fight.
Mia Tardi yup. They make them fight :(
Mia Tardi I think they make them fight on a stick first to fall off the stick looses (?) then store in the matchboxes after.
They also do something very similar in japan, and Singapore.
Ive learned that a lot of small animals can be handled relativley safely as long as you move slow enough and don't do anything to make it seem like youll crush it.
I was fascinated by jumping spiders as a child. The cuteness and curiosity got to me. Now, 60 years later I see their popularity soaring! I was amazed they were not obsessed with escaping me. Total curiosity.
Emily: "oh you know you can use a display case like this, that were used for beanie babies. God I'm old"
Me: That's the biggest mood I've ever felt gurl for real XD
She actually said 'gosh'
Joe M literally no difference
@@seannacap7360 Yee replayed after posting and facepalmed but its still a mood lol
@@ceilingfen9878 what's a mood? Like when you're moody about something? So confused.
@@rhys896 Mood is used to express something that is relatable, similar to "same". If something is especially relatable, one might say 'Big Mood.' This implies that your whole being is one and the same with whatever you are commenting on.
I laughed out loud at the beanie baby part.
"I'm so old.." she said, pfft, please!
lol same
Let’s not talk about how many of those I might have.
Yeah that was a deep memory
I knew instantly what she meant and then the old part hit me hard, lol
I found one in a crack of my good friends’ fence and kept him. I loved him so much
Oh he is beautiful. I really love the he shines with the rainbow color in the front.
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.
They're surprisingly determined, given their small size. Good thing he survived, kudos to you.
bob the spider
Sorry for your loss :(
Bob :(((
@@ejwmangadrawing7427 It's alright, he was at the end of his life span and I had gave him a new retirement home.
How is nobody talking about how the famous “Lucas The Spider” relates so much to the jumping spider?
Lucas himself is a jumping spider.
I WAS THINKING THAT
i recall the creator of lucas the spider saw a picture of a jumping spider up close. he thought it was actually really cute so he made a character out of it. so, i think lucas actually is a jumping spider.
Who tf is Lucas
That's because Lucas is a jumping spider
Brilliant advice. Thank you im getting a family of them. I adore theses creatures . They have genuine super powers and are amazing to study and learn from .
I have arachnophobia but I have chosen to get over it and adopt my very own jumping spider, I decided to pick something that will not be venomous or to big and easy to care. this video has been very helpful for me to learn what I will need to keep a spooder of my own I'm so excited to do this and I feel that jumping spiders are a bit cuter then any other spider so wish me luck!
thank you for all your help and videos you inspire me!

*cries in scotland*
L live in England we got tons of spiders in houses at the moment
@@KizzyCatUK same here
Same I live in Scotland *cries*
Scotland is the best place for spider haters though lol
No spiders in Scotland? What about roaches?
me: doesnt really like spiders

Hey I don’t mean to be rude but not every similar comment is copied! Unless it’s word for word then it’s probably just people having a similar idea (especially in this particular case - tons of people have arachnophobia!) and of it is word for word, then yeah that’s a bit scummy but in the end it’s not the worst thing ever. There’s no copyright for comments haha
Same lol.
You are the first person I’ve seen that loves jumping spiders as much as I do. I need to get one for a pet. Thanks for the info!
Loved the spiders subtitles, and the way he looks...so cute!
The relationship you have with that little guy is honestly the most wholesome thing I've ever seen. I didn't think I could love you and Ed any more than I did Emily, but your respect and care for all forms of life is beautiful ❤
I love how she’s not like a robot and actually shows emotion when talking 😄😋
Wait...
I mean she is a human...
I agree
smart cute girl.
She’s a deviant
I don't know why, but its many eyes freak me out, but it is definitely adorable! Also, the funny animations and words you put with Chalupa made it even cuter!
Thanks for video! I've often thought about a jumping spider as a pet but wasn't sure of their care requirement's. 🕷

God creating Spiders with Gabriel:
"Now lets give them 8 legs, eyes and fuzzy and hairy."
Gabriel: "Sounds and looks weird but Humans like fluff I guess. They should like it"
Humans *actually get spooked and are fearing them, asking:* "Why you gotta do us like this G-Man?"
God: "Ok, you know what. Make one with Dog Software and give it two cute forward eyes" "That should salvage that"
Dog software lmao
G-man? I heard that name somewhere....
"Dog software" haha
Omg lol
Why is it always Gabriel?
absolutely love someone out there, especially a lady, getting people interested in spiders and the otherwise "creepy crawlies". I have a very lively garden now so that is everything's "enclosure". Except my fish and indoor cats but having certain bugs arachnids small reptiles amphibians etc is super interesting and fun if you have the time to keep them happy
I’ve been researching them for a year now. It was one singular tiktok… I feel like I now have the tools to properly give one of these babies a good life. Now I can’t wait to introduce a lil guy into my life!
