How much enclosure space per millimeter of jumping spider?

[AAO]

Hello! I’m interested in keeping a Magnolia Green Jumping Spider- which I believe averages at around 5-8mm, but I’m not sure how much space to give him/her. I’ve only kept tiny jumping spiders before (2-4mm max) and I usually keep them in 4x9in tall enclosures with pretty good success, but I’m not sure how much space the bigger species need. Any input is appreciated! And if anyone has a general size-of-jumper to enclosure-space needed, that would be fantastic!

What is the Latin name for this? Common names are commonly wrong...and don’t say much.

well what size will you be getting it at? The same size you’ve been using for the others you’ve kept should probably be fine depending on how big it is.

Ah! My mistake, scientific name should be Lyssomanes viridis. Size will be 5-8mm. I’d be getting an adult.

For larger jumpers 20cm cubes work great.
