Pantropical Jumping Spider (Plexippus paykulli)
$89.99
An active pantropical jumper that hunts by sight. The Pantropical Jumping Spider (Plexippus paykulli) uses climbing surfaces and elevated silk retreats rather than a prey-capture web. This listing is for one live spider; no customer-facing size, sex, or life-stage option is currently displayed, so contact us before ordering if those details affect your setup.
Enclosure and care
Use a secure, well-ventilated enclosure with vertical surfaces and upper anchor points. Minimize disruption to a top silk retreat. Offer appropriately sized live prey, remove leftovers, and leave a sealed molt hammock undisturbed.
Keeper safety and arrival
Prevent escape through small gaps and avoid direct handling. Use a catch cup for transfers. Prepare the enclosure before delivery, monitor tracking, and review Shipping Add-Ons and Spiders.
Big personality, small footprint. The Pantropical jumping spider is known for its sharp eyesight and curious, attentive behavior, often turning to track movement outside its enclosure. Unlike web-building spiders, it hunts actively and moves in quick, deliberate hops.
Its compact size makes it an easy fit on a desk or shelf, and its alert, engaging temperament has made jumping spiders one of the fastest-growing corners of the invertebrate hobby.
- Sharp vision and attentive, curious behavior
- Active hunter rather than a web builder
- Compact footprint, easy to display anywhere
- An engaging, low-maintenance invert pet
