Like people, sometimes tiny creatures just need a little help. I think Gretel knows she can count on me.

I found a little spider in the basement while remodeling it Saturday, picked him up and relocated him/her. Free insect removal!

I don't like spiders but this made the spider look so cute... Glad they are being taken care of! And there's a spider in my bathroom rn....

I don't want to hate spiders, but I have an irrational fear of them. They just look... wrong. Alien. The thought of one climbing up my leg..

I'm irrationally afraid of spiders, but this one is really cute.

I've always wanted a pet spider, but apparently they have such simple brains they're basically like giant bacteria. You can't train them.
Zeterai
Jumping spiders might be an exception. They're phenomenally intelligent.
TAMUhowdy82
Jumping spiders are smart enough to train and have problem solving capabilities. Definitely the smartest in the spider family.
Eucrow
Was there something specific you wanted it to do? Juggle? Fetch? Shit in a litter box?
PTNLemay
Even simple things like recognizing me (or my finger) and remember I give you food is beyond them. Or so I've heard.
TAMUhowdy82
Not true! Jumping spiders watch you, follow your hand and will come up to you for warmth and food. Great pets and so cute!
williamoftheoak
I'm surprised you manage to keep and handle a spider. I'd assume it would run off the moment it was out of the aquarium
TAMUhowdy82
Regal jumping spiders are very chill mostly, though personalities vary. All 4 of mine have distinct personalities!
missingdodo
How old do jumping spiders get?
TAMUhowdy82
Depends on the species but 2 is an old spider. They live short but very entertaining lives that are so interesting to watch!
missingdodo
Do you breed them? How do jumping spiders breed? Do you buy a juvenile? How does that work?
TAMUhowdy82
I do not want 200 baby spiders so mine are all separated. I get them from people who do breed them captively. Usually you

How we treat others (even the spiders) is the reflection on who we are as people.. Remember kindness and remember empathy. Always.

Yeah if a person broke into my house I'd hit them with a flyswatter too.

Spiders kill the pests that are actually harmful. Even if you got no love for em, there's a reason to leave em be.
alrightalrightalrightpartyatthemoontower
I am a killer of some spiders. But I’m trying to learn some don’t want to kill me. I had a friendly one in my bathroom for weeks.
alrightalrightalrightpartyatthemoontower
Found it smushed. My daughter killed it with a dumbbell. Was sad. Those outside porch blackwidows tho. ..

Nah ima curb stomp every spider I see still
H0URGLA55
Took a long time for me to grow to care for spiders (and not squish on site). I still won't handle the big ones (for thier safety). 1/2
H0URGLA55
But I did have to grow past my fear to find that empathy. I imagine that's true for alot of people. 2/2
stonedlikeicheckedoutmedusa
Wouldn’t say I have empathy for spiders. I respect them & as long as Chad Ocholeggo stays outside, we’re cool. Probably the limit for me
H0URGLA55
Ah...perhaps it's simply projection on my part. Ignored, stepped on and spat on (not literally). Just wanna chill on my web, ya know? 1/2
H0URGLA55
Cant help but to look down at the spider and think, 'yeah me too, little buddy'. 2/2
stonedlikeicheckedoutmedusa
I leave them be don’t get me wrong, & they do a super important job. Respect the arachnid. But they still irrationally scare me
oldguyexlurker
Serious questions. What is considered old for a spider? If you did not hand-raise them, how would you tell if they were "old" or "young?"
neutronfish
A year or a year and a half depending on the species of jumping spider.
oldguyexlurker
Thank you.
BellsTheorem
Thinning web, slower movement, inability to climb smooth vertical surfaces.

Now where'd you get that information? Hmm. I guess we'll never know.

She is a regal jumping spider, they live a year or year and a half. Mine are starting to age and it makes me sad. :(
oldguyexlurker
Thank you. I am sorry for you impending loss. The frequency when compared to other companions has to be difficult.
TAMUhowdy82
It is what I signed up for. I wish they lived longer because they are so incredibly interesting and they are fun to interact with!

Jumping spiders are one of the most intelligent arthropods we've found. They can remember faces, and some enjoy interaction and play.

As Isekai go, this one I didn't mind so much. Starting out utterly pathetic and useless is nice. Skipped the human parts though.
