If you want a slightly larger spider, choose the other species (Everglades and Ometepe).\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship jumping spiders in stages L3 to L7 in a small, ventilated tube. They are on average a few mm in size and feed on fruit flies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdult males range from 6 to 18 mm in body length, averaging 12 mm. Females range from 7 to 22 mm, averaging 15 mm. Each Phidippus regius spider is unique, which is why you see the same photo for both species we offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\n\u003ch2\u003eInformation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Regius soroa originates from sunny Cuba and owes its success to its attractive appearance. With her large eyes, she will follow you as soon as you approach her enclosure, curious if something might be coming. They are easy to care for and suitable for the novice jumping spider enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdult males are black\/white and females are orange\/red. The young soroa is red; only at a later stage will the gender become visible through this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBehavior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJumping spiders are true hunters. When offered a fly or cricket, they will quickly hunt and catch their prey with a jump. They are active during the day, making them often clearly visible. At night, they sleep in a self-made cocoon or hide under a plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdult regius eat curly-winged flies, houseflies, crickets, or other small insects. A cricket that is not eaten must be removed from the enclosure, as it can disturb or even kill the spider during a molt or sleep. Be alert to this. Young regius eat fruit flies, curly-winged flies, or micro crickets. The regius can handle prey that is as large as itself. They drink from the spray water; make sure it is fresh and not too cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEnvironmental requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA jumping spider's enclosure should be approximately 5x5x7cm with good ventilation, and as your spider grows, you can eventually grow its housing up to 20x20x30. Humidity should be around 70% with an ideal temperature of 26-28 degrees Celsius. Regular spraying with a short dry period is desirable. Heating can be done with a lamp; do not use a heat mat from below (due to the risk of dehydration). Placing the enclosure in a light spot at room temperature is also possible, although they may be somewhat less active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGroup housing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJumping spiders cannot be housed together due to cannibalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ant's Kingdom | Mierenboerderij","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57218580906319,"sku":"Soroa","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6528\/1359\/files\/2025786636_a869cd96-98cd-4058-b91e-581b5ab271a2.jpg?v=1773834568","url":"https:\/\/ants-kingdom-mierenboerderij.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/springspin-phidippus-regius-soroa","provider":"Ant's Kingdom | Mierenboerderij","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
