Phidippus ardens 'Burning jumper'

Mature male. Despite similarity to johnsoni, these are closer to nikites and apacheanus.
Get back jack . Is that a giant worm he's eating? And if it is a giant wormy thing, Is it alive? I'm asking cuz I have spiderlings and I'm wondering about feeding them things like that that are alive. I don't want my spiralings to get hurt

I prekill and just hand my jumpers their food 99% of the time. I dont like them thrashing around. It could injure them or knock scales off and mess up the colors.

As I'm reading this I'm thinking you're talking about the prey that's been killed thrashing about? Just trying to understand your concern properly

i crush the mealworm's head and pinch in several sections of the body so it cant harm the spider. they're actually supposed to hang from a thread during the kill, which stops their prey from getting leverage and smashing them into the ground or walls.
