[QUOTE="Gizalba, post: 202760, member: 31253"] Thanks very much for the reply and bumping the post! I will indeed keep the info for future reference. Jumping spiders still seem quite new to keep as pets, and comatus aren't often on sale so I wonder if not enough people have kept them to know the answers. However I did post this on the UK jumping spider facebook page and one person experienced with keeping them helpfully replied. She said her comatus do seem to pass away quicker than her regius once fully matured. She also said it sounds like, from all the phantom egg sacs and the fact Cadenza only moulted once with me (I forgot to write that above), that she was actually a sub-adult already when she arrived, and comatus are much smaller than regius so even as a young adult she may have looked younger than she actually was. I need to find some pictures of when she arrived to check that, as I'm pretty sure the shop said they were young juveniles, but I guess they could have got it wrong. Haha, I was intrigued to look up this new term serial diformizum! I think you may mean 'sexual dimorphism'? [/QUOTE]
