JUMPING SPIDERS: The Complete Beginner-to-Expert Care Guide: Housing, Feeding, Molting, Handling, Health, and Species-by-Species Profiles for Regal, Bold, Zebra, and Emerald Jumping Spiders
The pet that looks back at you.Jumping spiders have become one of the most beloved pets in the world — and it's easy to see why. With their enormous, forward-facing eyes, their curious head-tilts, and their habit of turning to watch your every move, these tiny, fuzzy, harmless spiders have charmed millions — including people who were terrified of spiders their whole lives.
But the cute videos don't tell the whole story. Jumping spiders are delicate, short-lived, and unforgiving of a few specific mistakes — and far too many new keepers lose their first spider in its first months to bad advice about humidity, molting, water, and handling.
