Can Spiders Bite?

While anything with a mouth has the potential to bite, a spider's bite is highly unlikely. Even if a spider were to bite, its effect would be comparable to a mosquito bite.

What is their size range?

The span of their legs is about the size of a nickel.

How long do they live?

Jumping spiders typically live for approximately 1 to 2 years. While females generally outlive males, you won't miss out on observing a male because of egg-laying duties. As your spider ages, it may start to lose its grip on smooth surfaces and cease producing silk. At this stage, it's recommended to outfit their enclosure with mesh or tulle fabric to prevent accidental falls. Additionally, consider moving them to a smaller "retirement home" to facilitate their hunting efforts and provide a more manageable living space.

When referring to a spider as *instar, what exactly does that mean?

Each phase of growth between molts is known as an instar, denoted as i1, i2, i3, and so on.

What does Molting mean?

To accommodate growth, spiders shed their rigid external exoskeleton, a process known as molting. Through molting, spiders can replace their old exoskeleton with a newer and more spacious one, facilitating further growth. While younger spiders molt frequently, older, mature spiders molt less often.

Can I put two jumping spiders in the same enclosure?

No, keeping two jumping spiders in the same enclosure is not recommended. Jumping spiders are opportunistic feeders and have a tendency to engage in cannibalism, meaning they may consume other spiders, including their own kind. To ensure the well-being of each spider, it's essential to provide them with separate enclosures.
