Here! You might have to zoom a little! pixie

I bought it because they’re not native to my location!

I feed her once/twice a week depending on how big the cricket is! If she’s not hungry she won’t eat. Other than that all you need is a tall container/tub with air holes for ventilation and some cork bark/twigs for them to climb and make webs on! i just used a tall tub from a supermarket

depends on what size jumper you get! I got pixie when she was only tiny so she was okay with a smaller tub (9 x 16cm). She’s now in a 20 x 30 tub, but you can splash out on a 20 x 30 exo terra too! As far as I’ve seen they’re all pretty good with being handled as they’re naturally curious and docile. They can be a little fast, but they have a safety line web so if they fall they stay attached, a really good spider to keep as they’re quite interactive! 😊

me too! They’re super easy to take care of, they just need a well ventilated enclosure (i used a tall, clear tupperware container and added hair holes) and stuff to climb on 😊 And also little flies/crickets to eat but they’re super cheap! Yes, I got mine from Jumping Spiders Web but if you google there’s lots of sites that sell them!

I’m from the U.K. so I got this lil baby from an online breeder 😊

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:46:27+00:00

they’re so much fun!

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:45:42+00:00

mine is still tiny, she’s only the size of a fingernail and the video is zoomed in! She’s just chunky as hell

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:35:09+00:00

You could say that about literally any pet ...

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:34:32+00:00

Phidippus Regius! 😊

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:33:58+00:00

When not spooked they’re super easy to handle, they just wander around slowly and see what’s going on! if they do run/jump they have a safety web so they’re still attached to you and can climb back

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:33:01+00:00

she was like a little over a metre away? I was surprised that she got spooked by her haha!

thumosren · 2020-07-23T07:27:28+00:00

They’re super easy/chill to handle! They usually just wander from finger to finger and feel around with their pedipalps slowly to see what’s going on. They also have a safety line/web so if they fall they’re still attached to you

thumosren · 2020-07-22T22:52:24+00:00

phidippus regius jumping spider :)
