Short description:

Phidippus regius “North Florida” is a jumping spider native to Florida. It is primarily a tree-dwelling species. The females reach a body length of about 2.0 cm. Their iridescent fangs can vary in colour from purple to green. The males of this species have, among other things, a black base colouration in contrast to the females.

Like all jumping spiders, the animals are quite agile and you can actually always see them. For this reason you should offer enough climbing possibilities in the terrarium. Shortly before moulting they climb into their web and stay there until the process is finished. Phidippus regius “North Florida” are hunters and capture their food without problems, it is always a spectacle to watch them. We offer our jumping spiders food twice a week. When feeding cockroaches, house crickets or grasshoppers, the uneaten food should be removed on the same day. When jumping spiders shed their skin they are defenceless and can be nibbled by insects. An alternative to these feeders would be Drosophila, Terfly and flesh flies.

Humidity should be at 70% with good ventilation, so we spray briefly in a corner of the terrarium every two days. This is sufficient and it is better to spray sparingly than too much. The animals absorb the water drops as needed to quench their thirst.

Note: There are three fascinating colour variations with this species, ranging from a soft, light grey to a deep dark grey and even a warm shade of red.
