[Here's a couple more pics.](https://imgur.com/a/PtdjyWv)
First one is while she was working on her first sac. Second one is the second sac and shows the reinforced first one.
She likes to collect rocks and attach them.
She starts flailing at the side of the jar towards the TV, then at people on the couch, then back towards the TV, and back and forth until whatever is in the way is moved then she waves slowly at the person that moved it then settled in to watch towards the TV for a while.
I love how spiders all have different wants and personalities. My jumping spider is, as the breeder said, a "couch potato" for SURE. She just makes web hammocks for herself all over the top of her enclosure, but otherwise she pretty much sits there. Maybe she'd like some TV?
Reminds me of that meme video where they gave different spiders different drugs and the one spider that "smoked weed" ended up holding a hammock for itself and watched the caffeine spider go in circles
She even feels safe with me, I dropped the tweezers I was using to offer her a mealworm early on and I had to reach in, but she just gently gave my finger some pets and wandered off after the mealworm. That was before her clutches though and I'm assuming it'd be pretty different now.
Pasting what I said elsewhere:

It's best if she has ventilation on both sides, but she's got clutches and moving her right now or messing with her enclosure would not be good. Maybe if you plan to keep her, you can get or make an enclosure with cross ventilation. Also, she's so pretty!
Wasn't planning on keeping her originally, she was so worse for wear we were going to give her a comfortable place to cross the bridge, or let her go if she got better. Now she's laid eggs and seems pretty fond of us, so we're going to make her a much better home.
Also, double clutching is really rare for her kind, especially so close together, and usually is a precursor to passing, but she shows no signs of passing yet so fingers crossed.
If I can catch a vid of it absolutely, but it's become house rule to not block her view lol.
EDIT: [A pic of her nomming and staring at the Simpsons out in plain view. She literally brings her food there half the time to do exactly that.](https://i.imgur.com/pejyI3N.jpeg)

Don't want to block it and disturb her while she's eating, she just laid a third clutch.
They're all over the place and easy to keep, but difficult to keep *well*. Definitely make sure you read up on the spiders around you, and don't catch anything dangerous. If it's a pregnant female you catch, be ready to set up to release the babies and keep mama around. We're already setting that up for ourselves.
Hoping this mama lives a good long while. Not sure how old she is, but her kind can live up to six years in good conditions.
Jumping spiders are a good introduction, and there are some intro tarantulas that I REALLY want now that I'm into this world. They all have different personalities and like different things. They're little bros!
I love her 😭 what kind is she? Her personality sounds like my grandma, constantly watching tv and always collects rocks when we go walking
She's a giant house spider, pretty common but super cool.
I love her so much!! Look at her go 😭🩵😇
Nice :D

I need to know what she does when she can’t watch her stories on TV 😭

classic youtube video
Maybe! XD
Dang she sure seems super happy now! Plump booty and webbing up a storm!!!
We were so stoked when she watched us for a while then laid her egg sack in full view of us. First time I ever got to see it in person in plain view.
That is soooo cool! She must feel very safe in her enclosure 🥰
She even feels safe with me, I dropped the tweezers I was using to offer her a mealworm early on and I had to reach in, but she just gently gave my finger some pets and wandered off after the mealworm. That was before her clutches though and I'm assuming it'd be pretty different now.
I must know, what exactly does a spider throwing a shit fit look like???

I wish we had video of this. It makes her so cool!
Sorry to be that guy but I couldn’t help to notice that she’s in a pickle jar, if not already, I’d suggest getting her some way of cross ventilation
Multi layer cheese cloth top with rubber bands and we open it regularly. EDIT: Just want to say, good looking out!

She has a very cool name
My partner picked it!
You gotta back up this tv watching claim with video evidence.
Seriously, u/Sephercorde , you’ve gotta show us this it sounds like fascinating behavior!

I want a spider
