Product Information

All 3 spiders interacted with me first and chose to come onto my hand as I was only in their enclosure doing some tank maintenance with no plans or attempts to handle them, so I know it wasn't caused by me forcing them to be handled. Molting for a jumping spider is a very crucial stage in their life, like a milestone if you will. Jumping spiders molt between 6-9 times in their lifetime. But don’t be alarmed, it’s a natural occurrence that will continue to happen until a spider reaches maturity. Molting happens when a spider outgrows and sheds its exoskeleton. A lot like us as humans, spiders too have skeletons only they wear theirs on the outside of their bodies.

These are exactly the same in terms of care and breeding as the small fruit flies but they are slightly larger and perfect for feeding up to 4th instar spiders depending on the species. These can be fed from 6th instar onward depending on your spiders size as they’re strong little worms that can also nip your spider given the chance, so always supervise your spider when it’s hunting and eating a mealworm. These also burrow into the substrate and then turn into beetles which can be fatal to your spider if it bites it as they have really powerful mandibles and hard exoskeletons meaning your spider won’t be able to defend themselves. So if your spider doesn’t eat it within half an hour, remove it from their enclosure. Tarantula cribs, I absolutely love tarantula cribs as they offer a variety of enclosures that suit your needs. While also being sleek and stylish. Jumping spiders are considered beginner friendly as they are low maintenance. And can be as inexpensive or expensive which is entirely up to you, depending on your choice of enclosure and accessories. The most commonly bred jumping spider here in the UK is the Phidippus Regius, and its average size is around 15mm depending on which locale it is.

One of many cool things about jumpers is that they don't NEED to be handled or have physical interactions with us to live happy healthy lives. They’re quite content in their little habitats providing all their basic care requirements are met, and they’re just as fascinating to own when only admiring them through the walls of their enclosure. I have actually been bitten 4 times in total, 3 of which were dry bites (no venom injected) and I don’t actually class them as bites at all because of the circumstances surrounding them. In this particular incident, I was actually bitten by 3 of my spiders within minutes of each other which was the first sign that there was perhaps something else going on other than them biting me for the sake of it. The frequency of how often you’ll need to mist the enclosure will also depend on the substrate used, soil/moss will retain humidity substantially more than if you’re to use a paper towel. However, the substrate used is entirely up to you. I personally do not prefer soil unless it’s for a bioactive enclosure, equipped with a cleanup crew. As mold and bacteria grow rapidly, and will need to be changed frequently. I too also do not recommend a bioactive setup for a beginner but don’t discourage against it either (that’s just my personal opinion.)

I’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked questions, topics, facts, and funky quirks about jumping spiders that you may or may not already know. Purpose built enclosures aren’t the only option, and many people like to get more creative by modifying sweet jars, plastic storage boxes, and even glass terrariums, just remember they need to have all the following features to provide your spider with safe housing. Exactly the same as green bottles but larger and can be fed from 6th instar onward. If feeding these to sub adult/adult spiders you may need to feed a little more frequently than if feeding them locusts.

That being said be sure to offer your jumping spider a variety of things to climb as a way to offer enrichment, which will aid in prolonging the life of your spider. Our hair styling spider wax takes texture to another level, defining every strand to give your style depth. It’s the ideal product for undercuts with longer hair on top, whether you want sharp tips or tousled waves. The unique fiber-like consistency is strong but pliable, and clings to hair for visible definition. The wax leaves a medium-shine finish that’s not too matte or too glossy, but just enough to highlight your style.
