A three-dimensional web builder for an observation display. This Cobweb Spider is listed as Parasteatoda tepidariorum, a theridiid that uses an irregular web rather than a jumping-spider hunting style. No customer-facing size, sex, or life-stage option is currently displayed; verify those details when the product returns to stock.

Enclosure and care

Use a secure, ventilated enclosure with abundant stable anchor points for a three-dimensional web. Open the enclosure deliberately to avoid destroying the web or releasing the spider. Offer appropriately sized live prey, remove uneaten prey when practical, and provide a clean hydration method without soaking the webbed space.

Keeper safety and arrival

Do not describe any cobweb spider as harmless or encourage direct handling. Use a catch cup and controlled container transfer. Prepare the enclosure before delivery and review Shipping Add-Ons and Spiders.

An architect of the tangled web. Cobweb spiders build irregular, three-dimensional webs rather than the neat spirals most people picture, a behavior that's fascinating to watch unfold in a display enclosure. They are patient hunters, content to wait in their web for a meal to arrive.

Their low-key, sedentary nature makes them a simple addition for keepers who want an invert pet without a lot of daily interaction.

  • Builds an irregular, tangled web structure
  • Patient, sit-and-wait hunting style
  • Low-maintenance and sedentary
  • An easy display species for an invert collection

Cobweb Spider (Parasteatoda tepidariorum)

Best matched for

Keepers who can provide a secure enclosure designed around the species hunting and retreat behavior.

Keeper caution

Jumping, wolf, trapdoor, and cobweb spiders are not interchangeable care categories; use the exact identification and listing guidance.

Plan your enclosure

A prepared home comes first

Review the product description and selected option, then gather the enclosure and supplies your animal needs. Ask keeper support if you need help planning the setup.

Before checkout

Confirm the animal, enclosure, and arrival plan

The selected option and the exact listing—not a group-wide assumption—determine what is included.

What should be ready before arrival?

Prepare a secure species-appropriate enclosure, retreat, substrate, ventilation, moisture and temperature plan, and any listed food before the package ships.

What does my selected option include?

Quantity 1 means one selected pack or option, not necessarily one individual animal. A 10-count option at quantity 2 means two packs of 10. Unsexed animals are not a guaranteed male-female pair, and an adult photograph does not promise adult stock.

How should I plan for live delivery?

Have the enclosure ready before dispatch, monitor tracking, and arrange to bring the parcel indoors promptly. Keep the unopened shipping container out of direct sun and temperature extremes, and unpack in a secure area. Free shipping does not remove species, destination, or weather restrictions.

Where can I ask a species question?

Contact keeper support with the full product title, selected option, destination, and planned enclosure before ordering.

Prepare the enclosure before arrival and keep the species guidance close at hand.
