Regal Jumping Spiders
QR Code Link to This Post
They're all between i8-i9. One of my adult males is super tiny and cute! My females are all a variation of tan colors.
They're $20 each. $15 each if you buy two.
Located in West Bradenton, 34205
I've provided some care tips below-
- Regal jumping spiders are native to Florida and require a tall and humid environment. They’ll gladly use as much tall space as you can offer them. You can decorate the space with ledges, live plants, vines, and other items for them to crawl on and explore.
- You’ll want to mist your spider daily as a water source and to help increase the humidity in the enclosure. Spiders are sensitive to chlorine and chloramine in tap water so it’s best to use either spring water, reverse osmosis water, or dechlorinated water.
- You can tell if your spider’s hungry based on their abdomen. A thin abdomen is starving, a medium abdomen is okay but could eat, a large abdomen is full and should not be fed again (due to the large abdomen making them heavy and more prone to falling and injuring themselves)
- Regal Jumping Spiders will readily eat any insect. Captive bred insects are the best since wild caught could be infected with parasites or pesticides. They’ll gladly eat crickets, mealworms, Dubai roaches, isopods, wax worms, small superworms, and black soldier flys.
- Before you handle your spider make sure to wash your hands first. A common and unfortunate cause of spider death is handling pesticides and then handling a spider. This can include flea meds that are put on a dog or cat, and then transferred to our hands when we pet them.
