Sub-Adult / Adult | Small Mealworm, pinhead cricket or wax worm 1-2 times a week.

 When feeding your spider, pay close attention to their abdomen size. Their abdomen will let you know if they are under-fed, hungry, filled or over-filled. 

To prevent your spider from experiencing dehydration, mist the clear sides of the enclosure daily. When misting, keep the bottle at a distance to keep the water droplets small to prevent drowning.

Jumping spiders have exceptional vision and need sufficient lighting to assist them in hunting. Giving your jumper at least 12 hours of light a day will keep them happy! LED lights are going to be the best answer, as they do not give off too much heat.  

As the spider grows, they will continue to shed their exoskeleton until they reach adulthood. When molting, spiders typically retreat to their self-made hammock. They will typically spend 1 to 2 weeks - if not longer in some cases – inside the hammock. This is all normal and not to be concerned with. During this time food should not be offered, however, misting should continue. You will eventually see your spider come out of their hammock, with their exoskeleton left behind. At this time, you can begin offering food again. 

 When cleaning your spider's enclosure, be mindful to avoid disturbing any webbing inside. Jumping spiders create their webs as a self-made retreat, akin to their personal bed. To remove waste or residue, gently use the dampened end of a Q-tip for precise cleaning.
