Beautiful female Phidippus richmani, an uncommon species originally described from Florida. I believe she is currently subadult, although she may already be mature.
This would be a fantastic opportunity for someone interested in starting a new breeding project with a less commonly kept Phidippus species, or simply for a hobbyist looking to add something a little different to their collection.
She has gorgeous high contrast black and white coloration with heavily patterned legs and bold abdominal markings. The photos shown are of the actual spider you will receive
Care is very similar to Phidippus regius, making this species relatively straightforward for someone already familiar with keeping regal jumping spiders.
• Enclosure: Arboreal enclosure with good cross ventilation and plenty of anchor points near the top for webbing • Temperature: Approximately 72 to 80°F • Humidity: Moderate humidity with good ventilation • Water: Light misting on the side of the enclosure as needed to provide drinking droplets • Feeding: Appropriately sized flies, mealworms, crickets, or other suitable feeder insects • Lighting: A consistent day and night cycle is recommended
Sex: Female Life Stage: Believed to be subadult, possibly mature Species:Phidippus richmani Origin: Florida, USA
Because her exact maturity cannot be confirmed, she is being offered as subadult/possibly mature rather than guaranteeing her reproductive status.
