Phidippus regius “Soroa” is a beautiful jumping spider that originates from the exotic and picturesque Soroa in Cuba. Often referred to as the “Rainbow of the Caribbean”, Soroa is known for its lush vegetation and exceptional biodiversity, which has inspired and influenced this species of jumping spider.
Phidippus regius “Soroa” is famous for its impressive agility and ability to jump great distances, which benefits them when hunting and fleeing from predators. The subspecies originating from Soroa is characterised by a particularly striking colour. The red colour is not only pleasing to the eye, but also plays an important role in the spider’s natural habitat by providing camouflage and a signalling effect when communicating with conspecifics.
Phidippus regius “Soroa” is relatively uncomplicated to keep as long as a few basic conditions are met. These jumping spiders require a well-ventilated terrarium with sufficient space for jumping and climbing. A substrate of forest humus and moss, combined with branches and leaves, creates an ideal environment that resembles their natural habitat. The temperature should be kept warm, ideally between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius, with a relative humidity of around 60 to 70 per cent.
The diet of Phidippus regius “Soroa” consists primarily of small insects such as fruit flies, grasshoppers or small crickets. It is important that the prey is fresh and healthy in order to provide the spider with the necessary nutrients. A regular feeding rhythm helps the spider to maintain its active behaviour and health.
With the Phidippus regius “Soroa” you not only get an extraordinary creature, but also an insight into the complex world of arachnids, paired with a daily dose of natural beauty and behavioural diversity that is sure to enrich your interest and curiosity.
