Current Parents
Here are the parents of babies who are either available now, will be ready soon, or planned for the future. Spiders walfares are my number one priority when breeding pet jumping spiders. I only pair a few at a time and document every stage of their journey from egg to when they are ready to rehome at and beyond their 5th instar. Mothers are kept in their own spacious and familiar enclosures with lots of leaves, moss and branches to spin their silky nests.
All of my spiders are captive bred from captive bred parents. I never mass breed or power feed, I ensure any pure locales are kept pure, and that the parents are not related. Once the babies start to disperse the nest they are separated and individually tended to, to offer every baby spider a chance at thriving.
Troi and Macbeth
Troi is a beautiful, and unusual grey female. She came to me as a teeny little thing and loved to stroll about the spider shelves as she grew up. She is being a fantastic mum guarding her babies for the entire four weeks, and then laying a second sac straight after.
I was thrilled when she accepted Macbeth as her partner, as he is notorious for coming out for a wander and always ends up on the ceiling, peering at me mischievously. He's the reason I had to buy a longer spider wrangling brush.
UPDATE: The babies will be uploaded to the online shop as they come out from their moults.

Desdemona and Yorick
Isla De La Juventud
Desi is the most stunning and vibrant female who's locale is Isla De La Juventud; a tropical island off the coast of Cuba. Her fire orange and large amounts off fluff with ensure beautiful babies. Fingers crossed the babies will also inherit her chelicerae with purple and sapphire flashes.
Yorick, her partner, is as cute as a button and slightly larger than the normal island locale males. his fabulous dance moves charmed Desi in moments.
UPDATE: Their first sac has hatched, if all goes well the babies will be ready to rehome in June

Puck and Perseus
The next Goblin wave is coming!
Puck is the gorgeous daughter of Neil, the Arachnamorian queen of the spider shelves. She is a kind regius with a big appetite. She has her mothers dark colouration and sour apple chelicerae. She was so keen on Perseus that the moment he threw out his legs to dance, she trotted straight to him; it was love at first sight.
It's not hard to see why, Perseus is long in the leg and midnight black in colour. His favourite thing to do is sit on top of his enclosure and bask as I work.
UPDATE: Their first sac are just getting ready to disperse, and are already massive!
