Hi!
I need help :)
I want to buy pair of this jumping spider (P. regius).
I have very important question:
How long they live?
I want to buy male and female (both L4).
And: If female will be adult, male will be dead?
I want to have little jumping creatures... ;>
Please! Help me and thanks.

Wish I could help you out some more, but I'll answer what I can!

Phidippus jumpers typically live for a year, although some Phids have supposedly lived beyond that time span. (at least that I've read of here on the forums) I'm not so sure about the range for Regius though, I have a female who laid a sac who has been an adult for 5 months, as well as a virgin male who has also been an adult for 5 months. I'm not sure how much longer they have as I don't know when they hatched into the world! I got them as juveniles who molted 2-4 times in my care.

I know that the user by the name of Exopet sells them, so get a hold of him and I'm sure you'll have jumpers in no time.

I have tons of P.regius spiderlings, but I can't export. :[

Oh thank you for help :)
So: do you think that impossible is having adult male and adult female at this same?
They left a sac at this same time.
It means: I want to buy male L4 and female L4.
And I want to have little jumping spiders from them.
Can they be adults at this same time, or it isn't impossible?
Sorry for my Engish.

Send me a private message, and tell me your question in polish, (assuming you speak polish!) if that helps. I have a Polish friend who can translate your question. XD I'm not totally sure what you are asking otherwise. I have an idea but I'd like to give you a concrete answer. :eek:

I can get an answer for you tomorrow since he's probably in bed right now.
