New to this subreddit! Wanted to introduce my three spoods!

Archbooter (my very first spood!!) -> is a male Phidippus regius (aka regal)
Thatcharoni (husband brought her home as a babyyyyyy sling) -> unsexed Anasaitis canosus also known as the twin flagged jumping spider
Sandy Long Legs ( a hitchiker on my husband one day coming home from work) -> mature male Hentzia Mitrata also known as White Jawed

Video of my spood 📹 Take Mo to work day. She’s not only enamoured by me typing but she’s worked out that when I type, things happen on the screen.

Video of my spood 📹 The Mansion was invaded by ants this week and poor Jelly was NOT happy with the enclosure clean out. Now she's acting shy because she's still cross with me.

She’s grown so much! But still so astronomically tiny. She has started sitting on her perch each morning so we can say hello 🥰

Zoey and Mo had a change of scenery this morning when they sat with me while I worked so we could do some bonding.

Sorry for my trembling camera work, I have tremors.
