Eightlegged Bootique

Observational documentation of jumping spiders (Salticidae) and their captive care since 2023.

I’m the jumping spider keeper and naturalistic enclosure/enrichment designer behind 'Eightlegged Bootique'. This channel archives real moments in salticid husbandry such as:
• post-molt behavior
• enrichment use
• feeding responses
• habitat changes
• courtship and mating (p. audax & p. regius)
• egg sac development & sling rearing
You might also see occasional feeder species and other animals we share our lives with.

Some videos are quiet observation; otherwise you will hear me, Jessie!

I’ve worked with a dozen salticid species and raised hundreds of slings while refining my practices over time.

Videos are shared for education, transparency, and appreciation of small life. Learning and evolving our husbandry through ethical care and respect for the animals and the ecosystems they come from.
