Meet Clemmie, our Phidippus Regius Soroa. Today, she’s trying out her very first play gym! 🎡

Jumping spiders love enrichment like this ❤️ #jumpingspider #cutespider

Clemmie moulted again, making her subadult! 😍 She's starting to show her bright orange colours famous in Phidippus Regius Soroas. Just look at her 🥹 One moult away from potentially becoming a mum 😭 We cannot! #cutespider #jumpingspider

Day 114 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😳

This is Daisy, our elderly jumping spider (she's almost 3 years old!) 🥹💛 She’s slowing down a little and losing some grip, but she’s still thriving in her cozy new enclosure #jumpingspider #cutespider

We had a cute photoshoot with Daisy today. For (an almost) 3 year old spood, we think she's looking gorgeous! 🥰 She's acclimatised well to her new enclosure and is thriving. We love her so much 🥹 #cutespider #jumpingspider

A lot of people on YouTube saying things like "of course jumping spiders are cute, try another spider. I bet you wouldn't handle them". The truth is, we love spiders. 😊

Day 111 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😳

Say hi to our handsome Phidippus arizonensis! He’s a subadult, which means he’s just one moult away from adulthood. Think of it as his teenage phase. Not a sling anymore, but not fully grown either! 🥹 #jumpingspider #cutespider

I would call him George, but that's my partner's name 😂 I like Tigger though! 🥰

Jem's Jumpers UK @jemsjumpers.bsky.social · 5d

Ahhh!! 😫 Our Phidippus Arizonensis male has moulted into a subadult. Just look at those eyelashes. Would make anyone envious 😂

We still don't have a name for him! His next moult is when the BIG transformation happens. Please suggest any names in the comments below 👇 #jumpingspider #cutespider

🧵 (2/2) She’s bold, bouncy, and absolutely gorgeous… the perfect mix of personality and beauty. We couldn’t think of a better name for her 🍂

Who else is in love with her already? 🥹
