It is one of the largest jumping spiders, one of the most active jumping spiders, and one of the friendliest jumping spiders kept by hobbyists. This species has been known for its royal presence and colorful varieties therefore, it is a popular choice among both novice hobbyists and expert breeders alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdult males typically appear blacker than adult females, and resemble Phidippus audax. The colors of female P. regius vary significantly, such as gray, peach, orange, rufous and black, with spots, speckles and markings that are distinctively different among individuals making each one unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP. regius originated from the subtropics of America. As opposed to some of the drier tolerant jumping spiders and desert dwelling jumping spiders, this species prefers warmer temperatures and higher humidity. Therefore, P. regius should not be excessively wetted down, nor should it be excessively dry for long periods. Ideally, a constant humidity level of approximately 65-75% with dry substrate, along with excellent airflow and minimal condensation, is perfect for maintaining optimal health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of humidity, this species can be particularly misleading. Although P. regius originates from moist environments, they normally prefer to avoid sitting in wet conditions. The enclosure should have a feeling of high humidity, rather than being damp. There should be no standing water in the enclosure. In addition, there should be no saturated substrates, nor any excessive condensation your misting should be fully evaporated after 12-24 hours we allow maximum several hours of \"dry like\" conditions before remisting for optimal health and minimal mold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight misting in one corner of the enclosure can be used for hydration purposes. Never spray the spider directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting is equally essential. These jumping spiders are highly intelligent, visually oriented predators, and they demonstrate the highest quality behavior in a brightly lit, warm environment with proper enclosures. P. regius will utilize the full extent of their enclosures if sufficient space exists. P. regius are active hunters, exploratory climbers, and are acutely aware of their surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for food sources, P. regius should be fed insects that are proportional to their body size. Suitable feeder options consist of flies, crickets, roaches, mealworms and other edible items that can be utilized as feeders. A varied diet is extremely beneficial for these kings\/queens. Some captive-reared jumping spiders may also consume pre-killed prey much like some captive-bred reptile species develop preferences for frozen-thawed food items to reduce feeding risks associated with live prey feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP. regius must be maintained separately they are not communal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany captive-raised P. regius exhibit exceptional confidence, curiosity and a desire to interact with humans. Rarely if ever do they bite this is one of the more docile species if not they most docile species of jumping spiders that can tolerate gentle handling when performed properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling is entirely optional for P. regius owners however, many specimens are bold enough to exit their enclosure upon sensing human presence, inspect their surroundings and even initiate interaction with their owner without any force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, P. regius is suitable for owners capable of providing a stable temperature with moderate humidity levels for their setup. Owners who currently keep tropical plants using a grow tent or maintain additional subtropical pets will find P. regius to easily integrate into their current routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMale captive-raised P. regius are especially entertaining pets that command attention due to their exceptional activity level and make great pets for first time keepers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMomma Pictures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSunkist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DMDlSoNJauk\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DMDlSoNJauk\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNrXg6S3gK2\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNrXg6S3gK2\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNoh4BxSq5A\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNoh4BxSq5A\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUrsa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_eMoVySbRU\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_eMoVySbRU\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFGiQZ3TK43\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFGiQZ3TK43\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRogue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DMlkbX4BEDd\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DMlkbX4BEDd\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOctavia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C95pyMhyunn\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C95pyMhyunn\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_OY-Qcyo6D\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_OY-Qcyo6D\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C9nUDmqPO1B\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C9nUDmqPO1B\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoffee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8YrxO4O5ph\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8YrxO4O5ph\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmerald\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C5Y6v1QvBe0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C5Y6v1QvBe0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arthropods Canada","offers":[{"title":"phidippus regius \/ Male \/ 5-6-7","offer_id":54127405138203,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"phidippus regius \/ Male \/ 7-8-9","offer_id":54127405170971,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/3947\/1131\/files\/starter-spider-first-time-keepers-7677998.png?v=1791361569"},{"product_id":"royal-phidippus-regius-ac-t2-01005","title":"Royal (Phidippus regius) AC-T2-01005","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #d8ddd6;padding:0 0 12px;margin:0 0 16px;font-size:0.92em;color:#4a534a\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListing information updated:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOctober 7, 2026 at 4:14 PM America\/Los_Angeles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMother: Teddy\u003cbr\u003eHatched: April 2026\u003cbr\u003eIndividual spider ID: AC-T2-01005\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSex: Female\u003cbr\u003eListed at i7+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhidippus regius, Most variable of all jumping spiders known for its royal demeanor and striking appearance, is a species that thrives in the subtropical zone of the American continent.
