The Bahamas Jumping Spider, Phidippus regius, is one of the most charismatic and intelligent arachnids you can keep. Native to the Caribbean and parts of the southeastern United States, this species is known for its bold personality, exceptional vision, and charming curiosity toward its keeper.

Sporting vivid colour variations between males and females—males often appearing sleek and dark with striking iridescence, while females display beautiful silver or orange tones—these spiders are a joy to watch as they actively explore their surroundings and perform precise leaps.

Ideal for those who appreciate interactive and visually engaging spiders, the Bahamas Jumping Spider thrives in well-ventilated enclosures with vertical climbing space, foliage, and a few secure web anchor points. With their inquisitive nature and adorable looks, these jumpers never fail to capture attention.
