Keeping Phidippus pius requires a terrarium with minimum dimensions of 20x20x30 cm in order to provide sufficient space for their active jumping and climbing.
A setup with different levels and natural hiding places such as branches and leaves supports their natural behaviour and encourages their hunting instincts.
The diet of Phidippus pius should be varied and may include small insects such as flies, crickets and moths. This varied diet not only contributes to the spider’s health, but also offers exciting observation opportunities during feeding times.
The Phidippus pius can help you to overcome your fear of spiders. With its striking colours and fascinating behaviour, it offers an ideal opportunity to deal with arachnophobia in a playful way and without direct contact. By observing their harmless and interesting activities in the terrarium, you can learn to overcome your fear and develop an appreciation for these often misunderstood creatures. This jumping spider impressively demonstrates how aesthetic and impressive spiders can be, which can help to reduce prejudice and fear and promote a better understanding of the role of these animals in nature.
The Phidippus pius is more than just a terrarium inhabitant; it is a living work of art that fascinates with its colours and behaviour. Its adaptability and visual appeal make it a valuable addition to any collection.
Bring the Phidippus pius into your home and experience how this beautiful and robust jumping spider adds life and colour to your terrarium.
