(1) M/F Pair Red Backed Jumper (Phidippus Carneus)

One of the lesser available and most beautiful Phidippus species!

Can grow to 0.75 inches

Sub-adult to Mature pairs (Exact age for field collected specimen is unkown) I have kept these jumpers for a month to ensure proper captive acclimation.

Housing and HabitatEnclosure Type: Use a vertical enclosure featuring cross-ventilation.Decor: Add twigs, bark pieces, and fake plants to supply climbing areas and anchor points for web hammocks.Substrate: Keep it simple with a thin layer of coconut fiber or peat moss to help manage minor moisture.Temperature: Maintain daytime temperatures between 72°F and 82°F (22°C to 28°C).Humidity: Keep humidity low to moderate at 50% to 70%. “Carneus come from the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts, so they prefer it drier than regals with light misting rather than high humidity.” -- [Facebook]. Mist one side of the enclosure lightly once a day, ensuring droplets dry completely within two hours. Avoid standing water dishes to prevent drowning.Diet and FeedingDiet: Feed live, moving prey like fruit flies (D. melanogaster or D. hydei) for spiderlings and juveniles, graduating to house flies, bottle flies, small crickets, and mini mealworms for subadults and adults.Prey Size: Choose insects no larger than the spider's abdomen length.Schedule: Feed spiderlings and juveniles every 2 to 4 days, and feed adults every 5 to 7 days based on their abdomen fullness. Remove uneaten live bugs after 24 hours.Molting Care“Feeding should be put off for at least a week after a molt as the fangs and exoskeleton will still be soft and damageable by prey.” -- [The Tye-Dyed Iguana].Do not disturb their thick web-nests or offer food during this vulnerable time.
