Jumping spiders

How do u care for them? Are they posinous and can they live in a 32 oz cup tall

All spiders are venomous. But only few can kill people. Jumping spiders are safe.

You can keep your little critter in a 32 oz cup. Put some coco fiber at the bottom, few fake plants/sticks and occasionally spray some water for drinking. Feed with flies, small crickets or roaches. They are great pets.

I kept one a while back, just fed it crickets and it was fine for 8-9 months. It took down prey twice its size o.o was an amazing sight.

Can they live with an aloe plant

 

[Vlodek]

Sure, as long as the alone plant wasn't sprayed with pesticides or fertilizers.

Not all spiders a venomous.

I think a guy bred Phidippus otiosus before, so people might be able to breed jumping spiders.

That's something new I learned today. I know there is one species of jumping spiders that is mostly an omnivore:

I mean not omnivore but herbivore. My mistake

I'm keeping a daring jumping spider as a pet right now. I'm pretty sure it's a male. He came in the house this winter with some fire wood and I keep him in a 32 oz deli cup. He loves house flies and small crickets but can't quite tackle a bb fly.

Do they like a tall 32oz cup or short

Mine is in a tall but I'm sure either one would be fine. Here's my jumper and his enclosure.

Nice pictures. I found a Phidippus audax (died of starvation) and a Phidippus otiosus over a month ago in our house.

I do not know. I think it is 8oz. I have kept jumping spiders in many types of containers and I killed many Daring Jumping Spider keeping them...
