Royal (Phidippus regius) AC-BEAR-26
type: Product
description: Bear "Feb hatch" 2026 Phidippus 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. Unlike its desert-dwelling counterparts, this species demands a more humid and prolonged exposure to lower humidity can be devastating to them. This guide outlines the care requirements essential for the well-being of Phidippus regius, emphasizing the importance of mimicking their subtropical conditions. Environmental Preferences Humidity: The optimal humidity level for Phidippus regius is around 75%. While they can survive at lower humidities, such as 50%, maintaining a consistent range of 65-75% humidity best replicates their subtropical habitat and promotes optimal health. The situation with humidity can be confusing. Although these spiders are from regions with very high humidity and can tolerate it, they should never be kept wet as this can be fatal. Phidippus regius naturally seeks shelter from excessive moisture, maintaining a delicate balance. Prolonged exposure to humidity levels below 50% can adversely affect the spider. It’s important to note that jumping spiders can create thicker webs to help regulate humidity. To mimic their natural environment, we aim to maintain the humidity around 65-75% outside the enclosure. Inside, due to moisture-absorbing materials, the humidity may be slightly lower. Ensure there is no condensation on the walls of the enclosure lasting more than four hours. If the humidity is too high and the enclosure becomes 'wet,' introduce dry materials and periodically adjust them until the humidity reaches the ideal range. Temperature Regulation: Ideal temperatures for Phidippus regius range between 75-85°F (24-29°C) during the day and 70-75°F (21-24°C) at night. These conditions can be best maintained in grow tents or similar controlled environments, ensuring the spider experiences a subtropical climate year-round. Hydration Method:…
