Discover the Phidippus pius, a new type of jumping spider that has only recently been introduced to the hobby and immediately stands out due to its unique colouring and robustness. The delicate shades of orange, yellow and pink make every Phidippus pius an extraordinary eye-catcher in your terrarium.
This species is characterised by its feeding resistance and stability, which makes it an ideal choice for beginners and experienced terrarium keepers. Their vibrant colours and dynamic movements clearly set them apart from other jumping spider species and add an exotic touch to any terrarium.
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.
