CARE NOTES
Keeping considerations
Environment: Native to dry, arid zones; they prefer lower humidity compared to tropical jumping spiders. Over-misting can harm them. Behavior: Highly curious, interactive, and relatively laid-back, making them popular with invertebrate keepers. Diet: Consists of small live insects appropriate for their miniature size
