Hyllus Diardi

[creepycreaturescastles]

Hi there,

I am going to attempt to get into breeding hyllus diardi. There are just not enough breeders here in the US. I am obsessed with them and have fallen in love with the species. I have 4 females and 2 males. They all seem to be adjusting well (unfortunately most are wild caught 1 is captive bred and may not be included in the breeding). They are kept at 70-80% humidity with temps around 80-82 degrees F.
I have experience with regal jumping spiders. But definitely understand they are two very different species and have different requirements.

I would love any tips and tricks people would be willing to share.

I've always been interesting in this sp. and was wondering what you do to keep the temps up higher (around 80-82)?
I have a lil care guide on raising slings if you wanna take a read through it. I've raised some regal slings and it is a lot of fun but also quite costly (if you're not raising your own fruit fly cultures) and you need to devote a LOT of your time to raising jumpers. I would imagine that H. diardi slings would grow faster if they were kept in warmer (i.e. 80s) conditions.

Heres my care guide if you're interested. https://arachnoboards.com/threads/how-to-raise-jumping-spider-slings.357360/

Got a bunch of Hyllus walckenaeri adult.
Isn't that a little too warm?

They are a little shy but very active when left alone.

I'd consider them easy at raising and was quite impressed that the females get this large. It's similar to p. regius but when you get those beautiful absurd males, already impressive and the female top's that, i was caught off guards.

They do fine with regular ventilation but i'd advise to water them more frequently and have some additional ventilation (5 small holes will not work on them).

Regards

Hyllus are from other continents, diardi being from Asia. P. audax and regius are from the United States. Because of that, they are less commonly available, you can just got out and catch some and breed them. They have to be imported and that’s a complicated process. They are also in two different genus ‘ with lots of physical differences such as mating organs as well as size, diardi being larger
