is anyone able to id the exact species as i am a little unsure? Also, ive been trying to transition them from bramble to salal for a few days now. i tried mixing bramble with salal but they don’t even seem interested in both. am i doing something wrong?
Has anyone ever tried alternatives of specific food plants? for example using Gaultheria procumbens (American Wintergreen) instead of Gaultheria shallon (Salal). would it still function as a good source of food for them?
Or perhaps something in the same family like chokeberry because it belongs to the rose family.
just curious if i can use nearby resources instead of the usual bramble! thanks :)))

It’s taken one cricket since i got it so i know it can eat, but that was over a week ago! its been exploring the enclosure, and weirdly rubs up against the side. i don’t know if that means anything. but should i be concerned? or does this mean it might molt soon?
I left a heating pad on the side of the enclosure since i saw today was going to be a bit chilly. It was on there since i left for work earlier afternoon, and when i came home the enclosure had a BUNCH of condensation all around and i found kitty (name) in one corner basically on the substrate :(
Now it’s doing this strange twitching with its legs that ive never seen before.
Did i make a grave mistake? will kitty be okay?? someone please help :(
It’s my old jumping spider enclosure with some moss and substrate at the bottom, and a single piece of cork bark. will it be able to molt properly? should i add anything? please help! thanks in advance :))
Would this enclosure be too large for my p. dhofarensis whipling? This is a 12x12x18 exo terra tank and in the description of the website it said my whipling is about 1.5”. Is there perhaps a way i could decorate the enclosure to make the area smaller so that i wont lose it? Any help is appreciated thank you! 😣😣🙏
