Jumping Spiders & Accessories – Fascinating Mini-Hunters for Your Terrarium

Jumping Spider - Phidippus regius 'White Bahama' – The charming, snow-white day hunter

Are you looking for a fascinating, active, and incredibly cute pet? The Phidippus regius 'White Bahama' is one of the most beloved jumping spiders in the world. This specific variant originates from the Caribbean (Bahamas) and is known for its beautiful, snow-white to light beige appearance. With their large, curious eyes and intelligent behavior, they are true eye-catchers in the spider hobby!

Fascinating hunting behavior and active during the day

Jumping spiders do not spin large webs to catch their prey; they are active visual hunters! As soon as you offer a fruit fly or small insect, the spider positions itself, focuses with its large eyes, and pounces on the prey with impressive precision. Because jumping spiders are active during the day, they are continuously fun to observe. At night, they safely retreat into a self-spun silk cocoon.

Appearance and Differences (Sexual Dimorphism)

Adult Phidippus regius spiders reach a size of approximately 3 to 4 cm (including legs). The male is distinctly black-spotted with white and has striking, glossy green chelicerae (jaws). The female varies from breathtaking snow-white and light beige to sometimes darker shades with pink or orange chelicerae.

Care and Housing

For young spiders (L3 to L5), a small, well-ventilated enclosure of approx. 10x10x15 cm is ideal. Adult specimens can be housed in a terrarium of 20x20x30 cm. Jumping spiders prefer a bright, warmer environment (ideal temperature 26-28 °C, minimum 14 °C at night). Preferably use a heat lamp or a heating cable from below if you don't have a warm spot in your home.

Feeding and Watering

In the L3 to L5 stage, the spiders mainly eat fruit flies. As they grow, switch to curly flies, houseflies, and micro crickets. Important: always remove crickets that are not immediately eaten from the enclosure, as they can injure the spider during a vulnerable molt. The spiders get their drinking water from misted water droplets on the wall. Spray sparingly (a few drops in a corner every 3 days is sufficient, for example), as they prefer a relatively dry environment with good ventilation.

Key advantages and features:

• Unique 'White Bahama' Variant: Beautiful white to light beige coloration (young animals are still darker).
• Charming & Curious: Active behavior during the day, fantastic to observe.
• Impressive Hunter: Catches prey with an accurate jump without a web.
• Easy Care: Requires little space and is easy to maintain.
• Delivered in L3-L5 Stage: Ideal size to watch your spider grow.

Jumping Spider - Phidippus regius 'Apalachicola' – Unique Black and White Diurnal Hunter from Florida

Are you looking for an active, high-contrast, and charming jumping spider? The Phidippus regius 'Apalachicola' is a rarer and incredibly popular color variant of the regal jumping spider. Named after the town of Apalachicola in the American state of Florida, this species combines a striking appearance with an active and intelligent lifestyle!

Fascinating Hunting Behavior Without a Web

Like all jumping spiders, the Apalachicola primarily uses its web as a sleeping cocoon and not for catching prey. They are true visual hunters! With their impressively large eyes, they track flies or crickets during the day, stalk closer, and ambush their prey with an accurate jump. Because they are active during the day, there is always something fascinating to observe in the terrarium.

Appearance and Differences (Sexual Dimorphism)

Apalachicola jumping spiders reach an adult size of about 2 to 2.5 cm and can live for over 1.5 years. Males are predominantly deep black with sharp white accents and glossy chelicerae. Females are often much brighter in color with significantly less black on the cephalothorax, creating a beautiful contrast.

Care and Housing

For younger spiders (L3 to L7), a small, well-ventilated breeding box of approx. 10x10x15 cm is sufficient. Adult specimens thrive in a terrarium of 20x20x30 cm. Apalachicola jumping spiders prefer a bright, warmer environment with an ideal temperature of 26-28 °C. Preferably use a heat lamp or a heat mat from below if you don't have a warm spot in your home.

Feeding and Watering

Young spiders primarily eat fruit flies. As they grow, you can switch to curly-wing flies, houseflies, or micro crickets. Important: always remove uneaten crickets from the enclosure, as they can severely injure the spider during its sleep or molting. They drink from misted water droplets on the walls of the enclosure. Mist sparingly (a few drops every 3 days is sufficient), as they prefer a relatively dry environment with good ventilation.

Key Benefits and Features:

• Unique 'Apalachicola' Origin: Special geographical color morph from Florida.
• High-Contrast Appearance: Beautiful black and white markings and large, alert eyes.
• Active Diurnal Hunter: No 'boring' hiding behavior, but continuously active during the day.
• Easy Care: Compact enclosure, easy to feed and maintain.
• Delivered in L3-L7 Stage: Ideal size to watch the spider grow further.

Non-Flying Fruit Flies – Essential proteins for your colony

Proteins are indispensable for the establishment and growth of an ant colony. While adult worker ants primarily use sugars for energy, the ant queen needs proteins to lay eggs, and larvae use these building blocks for growth. These **non-flying fruit flies** (20-50 pieces) form the perfect, bite-sized protein source for young and nascent ant colonies, and also make an excellent meal for small praying mantises, spiders, and poison dart frogs.

Easy to feed and store

Thanks to a natural mutation, these fruit flies cannot fly. This makes them very easy to offer to your colony with tweezers or directly from the test tube in the outworld, without having to worry about escapees.

Storage tip: Feed immediately or freeze

The flies are delivered in a convenient test tube and are intended to be fed immediately upon receipt. Do you want them to last longer? Then place the tube directly in the freezer! Frozen, the fruit flies will keep for several weeks. You can then thaw a few flies as needed, every day or few days, and offer them to your ants.

Tip for continuous breeding: This loose portion of fruit flies is intended as direct food. Since postal delivery can sometimes impact the vitality of the flies, we recommend ordering our special fruit fly breeding kit for a constant, fresh supply. This way, you can easily and affordably breed your own fresh flies at home!

Key benefits at a glance:

• Easy to handle: Cannot fly, so no escaping flies in the house.
• Essential nutrient source: Packed with proteins for rapid larval development.
• Convenient to store: Ideal for immediate freezing for later use.
• Bite-sized format: Perfectly adapted to the jaws of nascent ant colonies.
