So for a while i’ve been wanted to breed jumping spiders. As i’m writing this, my Phidippus regius jumping spiders Venus and Pluto are currently being paired and it’s looking good. Pluto has been dancing all around her and has walked on top of her several times. Venus is showing no signs of any aggression and is just letting it happen. So i’m making this thread to update on my jumper breeding journey and to hopefully be able to post baby pictures in the end

I think my small and managable graduation present to myself next summer will be a large size jumper like these! If you are successful, continue breeding them, and have babies when I’m ready, I’d love to purchase from you!

You should definitely get one!! (or two… or three 
) They’re such amazing creatures and so fun to watch and interact with. I got my first jumping spider Jupiter from an online jumping spider shop. She unfortunately died to i believe a bad molt but before she died i got Pluto and Venus from an expo. I started by just watching TONS of videos about jumping spiders and their care to make sure i was ready to get one. They’re super easy to care for and not too expensive. Pluto and Venus are currently housed in these empty water jugs that i just have lying around. Although i do want to get the tarantula cribs enclosures soon.
Just make sure you do research and then yes you should definitely get yourself a little cute friend!

Yea but the only issue i have stopping me is the availability. Here in the UK not many people breed them and currently there are none available from what ive seen.

I’m sure if you go on google you might be able to find local shops in person or online that might have jumpers near you. Worth a shot if you haven’t looked yet.
Edit: And you can probably find some around your house. I have tons in my backyard!

I just did a bit of research turns out there are about 37 species of jumping spider in the UK but personally ive never seen any where I live so it might be in only specific parts.
