me: hates spiders also me: "well that's it, I'm getting a jumping spider"

jumping spiders are basically the only spiders that don’t creep me out. They’re friend shaped

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.

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

"Hey, Mom, remember how I wanted a snake and you said no way in hell? Here's a new idea: SPIDERS."

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.

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

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.

Ah yes, my old arm shall be a fantastic addition to my house

me: arachnophobia lil spider: 👁👁👄👁👁 me: im getting a spider

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!

Me: *scared of spiders* This little dude:👁👄👁 Me: (:

Me: Not planning on getting a jumping spider. Also me: Interesting

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

timestamps for myself!! :) 2:33 where to find them 3:18 enclosures 5:00 substrate 5:20 decorating 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 :))

me: hates spiders but hes kinda cute. also me: oh lord he's moving too fast.

Me : looks at little spider and says "Awwww" Spider : *jumps on me* Me : *AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH*

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)

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.

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" Kid: gets a spider

me: aracnaphobic, not interested in keeping spiders Snake Discovery: how to keep jumping spiders Me: 👀

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

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'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.

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.

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.

0:15 "oh hi mom" 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 ;)

Another fun thing to google: "jumping spider with raindrop hat". Water droplet hats are very stylish and cute!

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.

I found my lil buddy "Hector" on my drapes. I got him a little terrarium, and he's so much fun to watch.

i swear this woman has every pet there is and knows how to take care of them.

For those of you who got a horizontal cage, put it on the side, now you got a vertical one.

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!

You actually almost talked me into getting a spider (I'm terrified of spiders).

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!!🤣

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

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😅

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!

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 swore I'd never get a pet spider but now I'm extremely tempted.

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!!!

I can't relate to her enthusiasm, but it's contagious. There's a passion for everyone.

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.

The way a jumping spider looks around its environment and how aware it is show you the intelligence of these little spiders...

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.

This was incredibly informative, thank you! We just caught our first one, and I can’t wait to implement these suggestions. ❤

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

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. 😊

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.

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!

Finally a use for all the macaw feathers I have laying around.

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

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!

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!

If snakes are called “noodles”, can we call jumping spiders “pouncy-crumbs”? Edit: dear lord what have I started?

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."

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

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! 💗

The only spider I know of that I could describe as genuinely cute looking.

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.

This is perfectly presented. Thank you so much for giving the info in such a clear concise way.

I got one of these on my grow room he is awesome and loves the lights he also helps keep my plants protected!!!

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 ❤

me: doesnt really like spiders thought process while seeing this: *but i love snake discovery... I MUST CLICK AND BE INFORMED* me: *clicks*

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 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!!

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.

I love that you guys branch out to things other than reptiles, it's really cool😁

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 :)

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

If I ever get a jumping spider as a pet, which is very tempting 'cause they're cute af, I want to put it in an enclosure large enough to sustain a bonsai tree. I think that'd be adorable and beautiful.

I don't like spider, but you just made me seriously consider getting one.

I found one in a crack of my good friends’ fence and kept him. I loved him so much

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!!!

Me when I was 7: *keeping spiders in pickle jars with holes in the lids* Me now, 27: *keeping spiders in fancy micro terrariums, probably*

This girl has great energy, you can tell how passionate she is about animals

Oh he is beautiful. I really love the he shines with the rainbow color in the front.

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 have a male and female jumping spider, he looks like a regal jumping spider to me. My female laid eggs and the babies have hatched, soon to emerge from the nest and I’m super excited. These cured my arachnophobia and are so fun to have!

"ONE OF THE EASIEST AND BEST PETS TO TAKE CARE OF!" and "JUMPING SPIDERS" are literally two of the most contradicting things i have ever heard but i am intrigued

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!

thanks so much for this video! Ive recently been looking into getting one as a pet and have never owned any exotic creatures.

I laughed out loud at the beanie baby part.

Alternate title: How to take care of your own Lucas

Thanks for video! I've often thought about a jumping spider as a pet but wasn't sure of their care requirement's. 🕷

Terrific video, you do such a great job explaining everything there is to know.

I love how she’s not like a robot and actually shows emotion when talking 😄😋

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.

Just caught the cutest jumping spider recently! Getting all his enclosure stuff today!

Loved the spiders subtitles, and the way he looks...so cute!

My first interaction with a jumping spider was as a young child, I accidentally caught one in my backyard instead of a small grasshopper. I remember opening my hands and being very surprised not only by the spider but by the fact that it was just chilling inside my hands and not freaking out trying to get away. It's been over 15 years and I'm still fascinated by these little guys, they're so smart and adorable

me: terrified of spiders also me: watches care guide video about spiders edit: holy thats a lot of likes

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!

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.
