Phidippus Regius Diet. If you’re thinking about getting a tarantula but aren’t quite ready for the commitment, a jumping spider is a great way to dip your toes into the hobby. These spots are perfect for sneaking up on prey and staying out of sight from predators.

We’ll talk about what each stage means, what kinds of prey to offer, how often to feed, and how to notice when they might not be hungry. What you feed can vary depending on the size of the jumper but personally i like to use a mix of green bottle flies, blue bottle flies and locust with the odd mini mealworm and wax worm/wax moth. They'll drink up the water off of the sides of the enclosure.

Spray a side or two of the enclosure every few days or so. The regal jumping spider (phidippus regius) has been observed capturing and consuming small frogs (hyla spp., osteopilus septentrionalis) and lizards (anolis carolinensis, anolis sagrei). They'll drink up the water off of the sides of the enclosure. Spray a side or two of the enclosure every few days or so.
