‼️Warning‼️ Arachnophobes & people who do not like up close pictures of creepy crawlies beware!
This is my official thread of my pet jumping spider, which will include actual photos, not just links to the images.
Thank you ❤️ •
Name: Itsy Bitsy Mitzy
"Mitzy" Species: Phidippus Regius
"Regal Jumping Spider" Sex: Female Colours: Black, tan, and bright orange Hatch date: 7/27/25 Date I got her: 1/18/26 • As many of you may know by now, courtesy of chat and me gushing about her, I have a pet spider. Her name is Mitzy. She is just nearly seventh months old, and I've had her for a little over a full whole month. I absolutely adore her. She is so very precious to me, so I am dedicating this thread to all things Mitzy. Stories, photos, and yes, even artwork. You may ask questions, draw her, etc. All posts by me will be pinned, and organized with a table of contents here! I suggest subscribing to OP if you want to regularly see cute jumping spider updates! ^-^ |

Funfact one: Her name! "Mitzy" was actually inspired by my almost-name. It was genuinely one of the options on the table for me as a baby. I did not end up being a Mitzy, or a Ricky, lol. When I got my lil girlie, I couldn't think of a name.
It took me about three days until it suddenly dawned on me; "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" playing in my head. I wanted that, but then realized Mitzy rhymed perfectly. So thus she became "Itsy Bitsy Mitzy" |

Mitzy's first time exploring outside of her enclosure. I was practicing getting her used to me, so I can eventually handle her. 🩷

Mitzy has retreated into her hammock. She's been there about two days, and was a lil sluggish the day before that. She gets like this when she's prepping for a molt. Sure enough, she's doing her silly little molting dance in her enclosure!! I am misting her enclosure as needed, but she'll likely be in there for a while. In the meantime, here's another gorgeous art piece!! This time by my friend Mildly.moldy on Instagram! ^-^
