Description

Product Description

Jumping spiders get their name from their incredible jumping skills, which they use to hunt and evade danger. Despite their small size, they can leap many times their body length. These little guys are also famous for their bright colors and elaborate mating rituals.

  • Average adult size up to 1 inch
  • Lifespan of up to 2 years

Feeding Instructions

Jumping spiders can eat different kinds of prey, but it's important to consider their size. Smaller spiders can consume flightless fruit flies. As they grow, they can eat larger prey such as waxworms, mealworms, crickets, and flies. If your spider doesn't eat a cricket, remove it from the tank.

Spiders need water, too. Lightly spray one side of your spider's tank with water once a day.

Habitat and Care

Habitat and Care

Jumping spiders like to live in trees or plants in their natural habitat, so they enjoy climbing. Good airflow is also important to prevent moisture buildup.

They need light every day, but it's best to avoid direct sunlight because it can make their tank too hot. They can be kept in a room with plenty of natural light and add extra light with LED lamps during the day.

Most jumping spiders are comfortable in temperatures between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
