Agave Jumping Spider Captive Bred Juvenile

This is a fast species compared with regals and other commonly available jumping spiders, but their

Probably our favorite jumping spider species! They are inquisitive and less likely to hide, but they can cover some territory quickly!

Juvenile is a reference to the fact that they are neither young spiderlings, nor adults but something in between. They are currently feeding on house flies or blue bottle flies or similarly sized prey like small crickets, etc. Available at $39.99, unsexed only. Limit 1 per customer, sorry.
