Current Parents
Here are the parents of babies who are either available now, will be ready soon, or planned for the future. Spiders walfares are my number one priority when breeding pet jumping spiders. I only pair a few at a time and document every stage of their journey from egg to when they are ready to rehome at and beyond their 5th instar. Mothers are kept in their own spacious and familiar enclosures with lots of leaves, moss and branches to spin their silky nests.
All of my spiders are captive bred from captive bred parents. I never mass breed or power feed, I ensure any pure locales are kept pure, and that the parents are not related. Once the babies start to disperse the nest they are separated and individually tended to, to offer every baby spider a chance at thriving.
Calliope and Adonis
Phidippus regius - Apalachicola Locale
'Zebra' Breed Line
Calliope is a big girl with a big appetite, she had fluffy off-white markings as she grew but gained her signature monochrome look once she became sub-adult. She is very independent and prefers re-decorating her web over paying attention to her children, so I had to step in raise the egg on all three of her clutches. I had a fab hatch rate and all the babies are healthy and growing like little weeds.
Adonis by name because he is an Adonis by nature, just look at those fangs. Don't let this foil you, he is as goofy as they come. This whopping male has flecks of white through his black colouration, as well as the very sought after fluffy ear muffs of some Apalachicola males.
UPDATE: Babies are looking for new homes and will be in the online shop as the moult into their 5th instar. Please note not all babies from white pairs will be white, it is not possible to predict if they will be and/or stay white before 7th instar.

Cobweb and Apollo
Florida Locale
'Ghost' Breed Line
This is a fresh Florida breed line in the UK. Cobweb is a stunning silver regius with rare emerald chelicera. She's dainty in size but has a huge personality and loves to spend time on the sleeve of my jumper. She has had her shimmering silver fluff for all her moults since i4 and I hope to see a host of babies who will inherit her rare traits.
Apollo is a sweetie, with his apple green chelicera and a calm demeanour. He was a silver male from i4 to i8, before gaining his black tux when he matured.
UPDATE: The ghost babies are looking for forever homes now and will be in the online shop as they moult to 5th instar. Please note not all babies from white/silver pairs will be white/silver. It is not possible to predict if babies will turn or stay white when they are older.
