Bobbin is growing fast, still twice the size of her siblings! I've moved her to a 20 cm enclosure today.
She is the spitting image of her mother!
Obviously she is staying. 🙈

16 slings is nothing compared to 60! Dear gods am I busy, and yes, my back is bloody broken! 🙈🤣🙈🙈
Only had fifty pots ready so had to use the slightly bigger pots that I'd normally use after they get to i4/i5. I wonder if the extra space will make them grow faster and bigger!? Many have theorised this, I guess we will find out soon!

Well, let me know if anybody wants apalachicolas in the new few months, these will all be ready by summer.

My Bahamas Tove from The Phidippus palace has finally finished her final moult and just look at her! And she is huge too, I honestly thought she was already mature!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you want a pretty white Bahamas then Sarah is the place to go!

You think your life is weird but is it have to settle a jumping spider having a tantrum weird?
Violet is mad at me right now.

Another 4th instar bellavista baby. My biggest Bobbin, aka Big Bo6 is in her 5l moult and I am super excited to see how she turns out.
I have lots of pots to make up ready for the cola babies soon and will be busy preparing for them and paring my other cola.

The friendliest spider I've ever met!
She is a beast too!

Super excited for these!

Welcome aboard the shelves little Coral, neice of the late and great Amber who left us last year. She is much much much more energetic than her aunt was though, barely keeps still for a photo.
It's funny to think, a few years ago when I started the hobby and I unboxed an active spider I'd get them in their enclosure as fast as I could from fear of losing them, now I just let the crazy ones run all over as I know now that loosing them is not as easy as I once thought.

In other news, I was expecting a second parcel today contain five spiders a day a mantid but its got stuff in Swansea! 😭😭 hoping that it'll show up tomorrow.
