So, despite Chai being mature, her chelicerae colour has changed from a hot pink, to this beautiful iridescent purple 🥹 She's looking so grown up. We'll explain why this happens in our video later on. It's truly fascinating.

For now, just look at how beautiful she is 💜 #jumpingspider #cutespider

Day 119 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😟 Say hello to Ren, our biggest boy (a mature Hyllus diardi nearly an inch long!) 😳

He may look intimidating, but Ren’s proof that even the biggest spiders can have the softest hearts 🥰 #jumpingspider #cutespider

When we say this boy is big, we mean it 😅 he's around 1 inch (including leg span). But he's such a big softy. We haven't posted since we chose his name, so...

...everyone meet Ren 🥰 #jumpingspider #cutespider

Day 118 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😦

Say hello to our newest little lady, a Phidippus Regius Bahamas! 😍

We’re still deciding on her name though… what do you think suits her best? 👀 #cutespider #jumpingspider

When we say we've NEVER seen chelicerae like this, we truly mean it. This girl is STUNNING 😍 We believe she's got a couple more moulted until maturity, so we're not sure if she'll keep these hot pink chels, but we hope she does!

Any name ideas are welcome 🥹 #cutespider #jumpingspider

Day 117 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😟

Say hello to our adorable little i4 jumping spider sling! 🥹 The “i” stands for instar, which is the stage between each moult. So i4 means this tiny spood has moulted three times and is now in their fourth stage of life 💚 #cute

This little cutie is one of the first of Luna's last sac to reach i4. They're so mischievous already 😂 Them along with their siblings should be ready for adoption in early December 🥹

Swipe to the end of the funniest picture ever 🤣 #cutespider #jumpingspider

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

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. 😊
