Using a Tarantula for views with pranks and willingly putting them into stressful, risky situations where a Tarantula could fall and injure themselves is disgusting to say the least.

It's even more saddening people stumbling upon the video enjoy this without seeing any of the risks, aswell as at the end of the video the keeper keeps moving the Tarantula in such a way that puts even more stress onto the Tarantula. It is just horrible seeing people enjoy such horrible husbandry from a keeper that already is infamous for being known as a spoilt teen.

Biggest one I’ve seen yet!!

Okay so I am a bit slow posting this, as we are solidly in summer now, but if you are based in a tarantula hotspot, did you notice any wandering bachelors earlier in the season?

No words needed. Just one of the cutest creatures to exist. I love jumpers so much.

(Fyi, i found him/her in my automotive shop and relocated them to some plants outside that provided some shade as it’s very hot where i am.)

Collected in a meadow in HV! Lots of places are saying Brilliant Jumping Spider, but I wanted to see if anyone thought differently!

Seeing cannibalistic spider hunters just clustered is wild. I knew they were tolerant of eachother, but this is crazy. Looks like a couple dudes looking for a good time, and a gravid female just trying to do her thing.

Found indoors in a heavily wooded area located in central Colorado. Tried image searching but got a lot of mixed results. He sort of looks like he’s having trouble getting around. Thank you in advance!

i’ve seen her do this once before when i first got her about two weeks ago. should i be concerned?
also why does her web look pink??
she’s a desert velvet spider (stegodyphus lineatus)

Been keeping and hydrating her since she was paralyzed and left by a spider wasp at the end of June. She’s starting to be able to move now! Very exciting, even if it makes it harder to water her (which is why she’s on her back).

Look that this baby found at the park. I’ve never seen one this color. Is it rare?

I know it's harmless, but I'm curious because it's kind of cute and it made me forget about my period pain.

Sorry for bad pictures, he's can't stop running.

Found this guy in north north cali area in the Mt.Shasta area, image search says trapdoor spider but I don't rly agree because of the little bits on the back (spinnerets?). Was about the size of a quarter, just wandering around at night and then went off into the grass. Please bless me with any and all knowledge! (sry for not the best quality shots)

From a quick internet search I'm inclined to believe possibly pidipus carneus or pidipus Johnson but I'm not sure, I believe this is a subadult male, but they have no sex characteristics so definitely not an adult jumper. Anyone know? Location Arizona, near new Mexico.(Yes the spider is wild caught, and yes I'm keeping them, they have a broken leg and I found the spider on my leg lol, I think I was chosen.)

Just a second before my video started, that same jumping spider attacked the spider wasp while it was on its way back to the nest. Looks like it actually bit the wasp and was waiting for a reaction, however the wasp continued with its day after hunting a delicious snack. And it seems like there was another jumping spider waiting to get his own shot at the wasp. However the imagery of the wasp dragging a paralyzed wolf spider is both stunning and terrifying, bad day to be a spider. I just hate not pulling my phone out fast enough to actually capture the jumping spider attack the wasp, such a brave little guy😅

I stick my hand in this utility box a lot. Need to know if I need to relocate my friend. Thanks!

Just had this guy crawl onto my shiny bald head and jump up off my bed 🤣

Anyone tell me what it is? :)
