Regal jumping spiders are active, curious hunters that do best in small, well‑ventilated enclosures. A container around 5–10 gallons (or equivalent) works well, with plenty of vertical space and surfaces to climb on. Provide cork bark, twigs, fake or live plants, and multiple anchor points for webbing. Keep temperatures around 72–80°F (22–27°C) with a gentle day–night light cycle, and avoid direct, intense heat sources that could overheat the enclosure. These spiders need moderate humidity with access to fresh water via light misting rather than a water dish. Lightly mist a side of the enclosure every few days so droplets form for drinking, but allow the habitat to dry out between mistings to prevent mold. Feed small, appropriately sized live insects (like fruit flies, small crickets, or roaches) 2–3 times per week, and remove any uneaten prey after a day. Always handle gently or, preferably, enjoy your Regal jumping spider through the glass to avoid stress or accidental injury. Basic Care Bullet Points Enclosure: 5–10 gallon or similar-sized, secure and well‑ventilated Décor: Branches, cork bark, plants, and climbing surfaces Temperature: About 72–80°F (22–27°C) Lighting: Normal room light or gentle indirect light; avoid strong direct sun Humidity: Light misting every few days; let enclosure dry out between mists Water: Provided via condensation/water droplets from misting Substrate: Paper towel, eco earth/coco fiber, or similar, kept mostly dry Diet: Small live insects (e.g., fruit flies, small crickets, roach nymphs) Feeding schedule: 2–3 times per week, remove uneaten prey Handling: Minimal; use soft tools or containers instead of hands when possible Health checks: Watch for lethargy, refusal to eat, or issues during/after molt (Please Read Shipping Policy)
