Ghost Teddy Bear Spiderling Octopunctatus

Description

Now offering Phidippus octopunctatus Ghost Teddy Bear Jumping spider spiderlings. These are captive-bred by us.

These natives are one of the largest species in the United States and Mexico. Some of those who study spiders claim these are larger than regals but scientists measure spiders in terms of body length, rather than leg span like hobbyists do.

$29.99 each for 5th to 6th instar captive-bred spiderlings (young, have shed their skin 3 times). These were born Sept 29, 2024, and have grown slowly through the colder, winter months.

They are very stable and currently feeding well on D. melanogaster fruit flies (sold separately in links below). They’ve been feeding on these fruit flies since they were 1st instar, but we like to grow them up to a size where our customers can purchase with a higher degree of confidence. We cannot sex them as they haven’t taken on their sexual colorations or characters yet.

Main photo is of the mother spider. We make no guarantee that her offspring will develop into that same color (especially the males lol 😉 ). We merely present you with all of the information that we have so that you can make your best purchasing decision. This is a VERY special mother spider. She is the only white one we have ever seen!

Some food and caging products are listed below.

Be sure to read my Jumping Spider Care Sheet which covers everything from purchasing, to unboxing to care through the life cycle.
