Discover the Desert Red Jumping Spider: Phidippus ardens in the spotlight!
We are delighted to introduce you to our latest jumping spider species – the Phidippus ardens, a fascinating jumping spider that not only impresses with its unique colouring, but also with its impressive behaviour. What makes this species particularly special is that it is the first jumping spider species in our range in which the male animals are in no way inferior to the female specimens in terms of their appearance.
Keeping Phidippus ardens is not only easy, but also extremely interesting. An appropriately sized terrarium (20 x 20 x 30 cm) or a container provides sufficient space for them. A substrate of forest humus creates an ideal habitat for them and also provides food for the soil police at the same time. Sufficient aeration is also important to ensure optimal air circulation and create a healthy climate.
