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.
Puck and Perseus
Phidippus regius - Florida Locale
'Goblin' Breed Line
The next Goblin wave is coming!
Puck is the gorgeous daughter of Neil, the Arachnamorian queen of the spider shelves. She is a kind regius with a big appetite. She has her mothers dark colouration and sour apple chelicerae. She was so keen on Perseus that the moment he threw out his legs to dance, she trotted straight to him; it was love at first sight.
It's not hard to see why: Perseus is long in the leg, is midnight black in colour, and has the cutest little white sleeves on his pedipalps. His favourite thing to do is sit on top of his enclosure and bask as I work.
UPDATE: Goblins are now ready to rehome

Portia and Mercutio
Phidippus regius - Soroa Locale
'Zing' Breed Line
With all the fluff and her striking calico colour, could she be any prettier? The answer is yes! Because she has the beautiful and rare green chelicerae. She's larger than most of her other island locales, but this just means there is more to love. She is a menace for climbing up my arms to sit on my shoulder like a little orange parrot, the only way to tempt her down is with a yummy locust.
Mercutio has vivid all blue chelicerae which is also very rare, I thought they would make some very pretty babies to carry on these rate colours. He is the most well behaved here at the spider shelves. He spends his time napping on his cork bark and letting me softly stroke his velvety butt. He certainly a laid back little man.
UPDATE: Babies are now ready to rehome. Please follow the Arachnamoria Facebook page to see when they go online.

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 growing fast, fingers crossed they will be ready to find their forever homes mid December. Keep an eye on the Arachnamoria Facebook page for updates
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 look to be ready to re-home in mid to late December.
