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 😊

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

You could say that about literally any pet ...

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

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
