Description

Big boy is an adult male Helpis minitabunda. He has very long, thick front legs and a slim body shape. He may look scary but really he is very nice and doesn’t want to hurt you.

Being a Helpis sp., he loves basking and will benefit from being handled outside in sunshine for a few minutes a day, but make sure he doesn’t escape!

Care Tips:

This jumper (if adult) should be fed x-small – small crickets – no bigger than the spider’s body size.

Enclosure should have lots of things to explore like bark hides and fake plants, as these jumpers are quite active.  We recommend the Mini Bug Box or The Cube, with a “Jumper” Kit.

Please note: All jumping spiders are not as suited to keeping in captivity than other species.  Jumping spiders can live 1-2 years in captivity, however males often perish more easily.  All jumping spiders are sold as adults and thus we cannot establish their true age.
