Regal Jumping Spider

Average Life Span: about 1–2yrs, but some people report their spiders living longer!

Behavior: These spiders can be shy at first, but they're naturally curious. They love to climb and will often perch to watch the world outside their habitat. With patience and gentle handling, many jumping spiders will tolerate being held. They rarely bite unless startled.

Molting: If your spider is sub–adult, it may go through one or two final molts before reaching maturity. A mature adult spider will not molt again. Molting is the natural process where a spider sheds its exoskeleton to grow. This usually happens inside a web hide, where your spider feels safe. During this time, your spider is extremely vulnerable and should not be handled or disturbed.
