Description
This species of jumping spider is found under the bark of eucalyptus trees in southern Australia. They can grow up to 16mm in body length and likes to build silken retreats underneath bark. At the moment we have a mix of of the lighter version of the species as well as the regular form. Some individuals occasionally do not grow as large as the regular version, but still gets to a decent largish size. These are variations within the species and are not detectable at a juvie stage.
They are very active and inquisitive, and hardy in captivity. Despite their intimidating size, these are a timid species and can be handled safely if respect is given, like handling all spiders.
Females and males are basically identical with males being slightly shaggier and more grey in colouration.
Care Tips:
This jumper should be fed baby/x-small crickets – no bigger than the spider’s body size. At the moment they are feeding on x-small crickets.
Enclosure should have bark hide available as this is their favourite hang-out place. We recommend the The Bug Box or Little Bug Box

Healthy and active, so smol 😍 sent with utmost care in terms of animal welfare, I like that it was delivered to my PO; no chance of cooking in the letterbox (like a lot of feeder bugs from other suppliers have been!)

She (assumption at this point) arrived happy, healthy inquisitive and active. as soon as we put her in her new home she made a web and molted, freaked me out a little as i wasnt sure she was alive for a few days. its been a few weeks now, and she loves watching our family, she chooses to interact with us for 5 -10 minutes every other day and has her prefrence of family members. huge personality packed into an adorably tiny spood. She is really helping miss 9 feel comfortable around smaller insects and spiders as well. (video is of some enrichment time and her playing with some springtails)

Haven’t managed to snap a good picture, but couldn’t be happier! Packaged carefully, and they were kind enough to send some crickets along with the order while we wait for our local store to restock. Spider arrived happy and healthy, eager to explore its enclosure and quickly began spinning its web. Ate immediately and drank as well, very pleased at how curious and eager it is! 10/10 would order from them again, and would recommend anyone wanting to get into invertebrates to do the same 🙂

Amazing once again Bug Frenzy. My little one arrived happy, healthy and alert. So curious about everything. Took a few days for my current fruit fly culture to have some feedable adults ready to go, but when my patient little jumper got some, they chowed down like a little champion. So pleased with them, and can’t wait to order more jumpers from you to add to my ever growing collection 😍

Just got our darling web puppy Tuesday, shipping was overnight and very quick. Sosig has settled in nicely, would give 5 star but we had a minor miscommunication regarding the sex of Sosig. As I emailed them asking for a male, got told I would receive male and was sent a female on accident. Nothing against BF as we love Sosig regardless, but we weren’t ready for a female just yet, as we didn’t want to be spider grandparents and its exactly what has happened.
We’d defiantly order from BF again, as we want more web puppies. But hopefully communication will be better.
Communication was great as they did answer all my questions, just a misunderstanding about getting a boy.
