  • 22 - Guest: Melissa (Flower_the_jumping_spider / Spooderhood Spiders)
    2025/05/04

    Melissa @flower_the_jumping_spider / Spooderhood Spiders joined me and I got to ask her about #hyllus breeding and her small #fartilis cuties (very jealous!). Melissa also gave some advice on issues spiders may face, like DKS & genetic disorders, and how we can help dying spiders. Oh... and how kissing tarantulas (please don’t try this!) might be just as effective as lip-injections… but, seriously, don’t 😂.

    2025/04/21

    In this episode of Spoodcast, Laena (@mfspood) gets to hang out with Izzy Arden (@izzyardennn), a bad ass musician and spider enthusiast. They discuss Izzy's journey into keeping spiders (a jumping spider and a tarantula!) and how they helped her to find solace when dealing with anxiety. The conversation also touches on balancing a music career with spider care, AND the east coast delicacy known as water ice. :) Izzy also lets us know about her upcoming album!

  • 20 - Spider silliness with Emily @mini_robomuppets
    2025/04/12

    This week, Laena (@mfspood) is joined by Emily (@mini_robomuppets)! It was impossible to edit out the giggles on this one, and it does get a bit silly.

    Emily and Laena talk about how getting over spider fears can lead to making spoody content for social media. Emily also answers the big questions ("have you been bitten?", "should I breed them?" and "can I keep this wild-caught jumping spider?" are a few)! We also learn about a Spanish-speaking jumping spider and a male spood that fell in love with a toy saxophone. :)

  • 17 - So you wanna breed jumping spiders?
    2024/06/04
    Join Amy (@amykeepsarachnids) and Laena (@mfspood) as we dive into a hot topic: breeding jumping spiders. We’ve had a lot of questions about it, and while we won’t give a step-by-step guide, we’re here to share what you need to think about before diving in. Breeding isn’t just fun and games; it takes a lot of time, money, and space. Plus, it can be mentally taxing if you’re not prepared for the losses that come with it. So, are you ready for the commitment?We also chat about the joys and pains of raising spider babies, from the challenges of feeding hundreds of slings to the pride of watching them grow. If you’re still keen on breeding, make sure to reach out to experienced breeders for advice and support. Thanks for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy this episode. See you next week!
