I put together a short and simplified sling care video for anyone keeping or interested in keeping juimping spiders.

Bonus: You'll have yet another excuse to keep fruit flies on hand. All excess fruit flies can feed your ant colonies.

I'm about to get back into keeping them again, got a few local species that are common in my area and I bought a cool little terrarium for them too.

What kind of terrarium? I got myself some Big Fat Phids condos. (I also have two Big Fat Phids large size ones from some years ago.)

They are the jumping spider enclosures from Ali Express. The one I got has the turf, humidifier insert, feeding dish, and wood piece. The acrylic seems cheap, but then again it was less than 10 bucks.
