- This build was pretty high on the request list as well as one I've been contemplating for a while. I had no intentions of doing it just yet, but this little jumping spider made its way home on those plants. I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to keep one and show you how I would do it.
I wanted to keep it simple, easy, and beautiful design to showcase the spider. Other than the substrate and plants, I've included links to all of the materials used to make the enclosure (non-affiliate links) for your convenience.

I FINALLY did a vivarium for a Jumping Spider! What do you think? If you're curious about any of the materials I used, then check out the video description. I have a bunch of helpful information in there and links. I gotta say, I'm really enjoying the spider! I'm very surprised at just how personable it is for such a small creature. Enjoy the video and have a great weekend!
EDIT: See how this spider is doing now! ruclips.net/video/r1Rab3DQOcM/видео.html
Hide it from you wife nomater what unles he likes spiders that jump
I have a RUclips channel related to spiders and other invertebrates... Feel free to check it out!!!
Amazing vid
No proper set up for jumping spiders
i making a pet toad vivarium today (:
Tanner: *sees literally anything*
Tanner: guess I gotta do a scape!
that's what i love about his videos!
That is what makes his videos so fascinating. Got to love artists!
and i for one absolutely love that about him ahahah
thats legit what this channel is about
When I was in college there was a certain bench on campus that I used to sit at and draw all the time. A little jumping spider lived there, and without fail every time I was there it would come out and sit on my sketchbook and look up at me. It didn't bother it that I would continue to draw around it. It would just crawl around the page, maybe hop onto my leg or bag. It was like it knew I wasn't going to hurt it. I miss my little buddy.
🥹😭
aw
They're so curious. My little one has a climber/slide in our backyard. It's a jumping spider magnet. If you hold your finger out they'll jump on you. Some of them will sit for a minute others will jump on and off as fast as they can. None of them usually just straight up run away.
At the moment there are six TINY babies on it. I have to check every day and remove any adults I find to try and keep them from being eaten. The adults are really cool to watch, but I would rather give the babies a chance to live. I've watched one of the babies for over three weeks now. The new babies have only been there for a few days and are barely bigger than a dull pencil tip.
Just as an FYI, for a bold jumper you're going to want something a bit closer to the size of an Exo Terra Nano Tall (8x8x12) for long term keeping. Plenty of cross ventilation is going to be your best friend with keeping arachnids.
Very cute little box, though. It's just that jumpers utilize a lot of space, and having something with more options for traversing the space, i.e. more anchor points like twigs and leaves, help for their enrichment, as they are quite smart little spoods.
Defintely agree! This would be a really cool temporary display case for like, a show or con but not for permanent enclosure imo.
I thought so too, this is good to know as I want to get one myself. Do you know if they require a full spectrum light? I’m assuming so as most animals need light to keep them healthy but I’m not sure
@@shadowbailey depends on your set-up man. I have about 20 spiders that all utilise natural light through a window then I have some abit further into the room that I set up lights for. Most spiders prefer the dark and things like jumping spiders, huntsman, wolf spiders use eyesight as a main way of hunting and they work alot better during night time.
Came here to say all that. I’m actually a little surprised Tanner didn’t look a little further into care sheet sites and learned to do it right the first time. Ventilation is important and that moss is gonna be dead in two weeks. Plus, these guys love flies and adding a fly to that enclosure is gonna be a pain in the butt.
I don't know anything about spiders and even I thought it was way too small for one so energetic.
The "dramatic reenactment" provided my first big laugh of the day! Jumping spiders are awesome, glad that one hitched a ride to Tanner's house!
he got a good owner if that was me I would be cleaning it off my shoe 🕷️🥾
The high-pitched "please like and subscribe" had me rolling 😂
Lucky spider, for sure!!! AND the spider also landed an awesome modeling career, posing for the reenactment picture!!
I lived on the second floor and almost all the spiders I find in my appartment are jumping spiders. I've grown to like them. They look so smart, just how they move and position themselves, really makes you wonder haha!
It's almost robotic looking. I just picture them running equations through their head about each movement and its outcome before acting lol.
Scientists think they're actually the most intelligent arachnids, possibly even invertebrates, that live today :)
@@SerpaDesign that's exactly how I feel! 🤣
@@SerpaDesign have you seen the videos of Lucas, the jumping spider?
Our family loves Lucas!!!
they are actually very intuitive
You could put a clear acrylic lip on the inside just like the substrate damm but on the top so that you won't destroy the web each time you open the door.
Awesome little guy! Love this terrarium build!
Ayo hello Ants Canada.
my G, ants canada
Omg I love your videos :D
Omg AntsCanada?
Love ur vids sir
I’m 29 years old but I wanna be Tanner when I grow up
Gotta say, I think this is the simplest, easiest build so far! I've kept various spiders throughout the years, one of which was a rare female Apache Jumping Spider, and I did about the same thing. Bought 2 containers; one similar to the first you showed and the other, a mini Exo Terra I believe it's called. Cleaned it, scaped it with mosses, twigs, a small vein plant and added her in. She was already very large and pretty old yet lived for another 6 months happy and healthy! The build now belongs to native isopods who reproduced the first month of having them :)
How cool !
Really cool
I really enjoy your stuff tanner. However this just seems too small of an enclosure. Maybe good for temporary or viewing but i feel like jumping spiders are so energetic and active they would need more than that.
Would love to see an update of a bigger setup
nah it is a perfectly fine enclosure. any taller would be pointless, also note that a larger enclosure would mean more hiding places for the food, and it would make it more difficult for the spider to find food.
@@benlee7565 That's extremely incorrect. Jumping spiders will use any size you give them and the bigger the better, they're intelligent if not one of the intelligent invertebrates, one in Birmingham university has been taught to jump on command. They need a large spacious enclosure with lots of height and foliage. They are also one of the best hunters in the invertebrate world, they are more than capable to tracking down prey in their enclosures, thats whats their massive eyes are for. I'm a studying entomologist and also breeder of invertebrates , mainly jumping spiders and they all have a minimum of 30 x 30 x 45 bioactive exo terras and my females on average live over 3 years. They will use every single inch of their enclosure. too big of an enclosure is a old myth spread by collectors to justify poor husbandry.
@@shadowsexotics8827 Depends on what jumping spider, I too studied biology and breed invertebrates, and I personally think because of their adaptability they can fair well in a range of enclosure sizes, and just depends on your “keeping style” if it makes any sense.
From most jumping spiders I’ve kept though, though my anecdotal observations many have the tendency to perch high and rarely utilise lower quarters of enclosures. They will use every inch, but will probably frequently use only certain parts of the enclosure. Especially if the female is entering brooding cycle, all they need is a few large meals and they’ll be busy brooding for a full month.
Ah….the puppies of the spider world! Not a spider person either but really find these ones endearing. Been thinking about keeping one myself!:-)
I clapped when the lil friend caught the cricket! Great job thanks for the share!
I know you're basically the king of making enclosure setups but if you wanna see a great invert youtuber id highly recommend the dark den, he always custom builds his enclosures just for tarantulas and a few others, love the one you made for the little jumper, she looks very happy in her new home
Came here to comment the same thing
One of my favorites!
The Tarantula Collective and Tarantula Kat are great too.
@@mpk6664 dave's little beasties is quality also!
Tanner is great at making these! He's almost at 1 million!! I'm almost at 1k lol
Jumping spiders have been my gateway to slowly overcoming my arachnophobia, so I really appreciate this. Jumping spiders are just so CUTE 💜
I'm thinking thats a bit too small of an enclosure for a jumping. Something a little taller so it can move around and jump would probably be better for it
Notice in the time laps it is only active in the upper 1/4th of the enclosure? If he made the enclosure any taller it is pretty much pointless. Although a wider enclosure could give it more space to move, it is no means necessary to keep the spider nice and healthy.
@@benlee7565 I have seen bigger enclosures. Plus I am pretty sure the spider would rather be in the wild with all the ability to go wherever. I have to agree it should be bigger. I have had friends that have made a large one they like to jump and are often quite playful.
Mine (4) all have taller tanks with a vent on the top, it opens about an inch and a half down, this is important as most jumpers build their web in the top corners and opening some of those tanks would constantly disturb them.
I love how active, friendly and adorable these little guys are. This is probably one of the best beginner pets if you are willing to handle a fuzzy spider. Just gotta be careful you dont squish them.
I've been thinking of doing this for my roommate, Tawny (she's a tan jumping spider that was here when i moved in lol) but Idk she seems to enjoy keeping the housefly population down and i love her for that 😊
Yes!!!!!
Our spider roommates are allowed free roam.
Occasionally we find a Black Widow, and those get moved outside to a tree😬😅
from personal experience, it's better to find a baby jumper, they seem much more content with being in an enclosure as apposed to an adult put into an enclosure will probably spend a lot of its time trying to get out, my gf had a large adult male we helped hydrate while mowing and even though he had a nice big set up he was just used to exploring outside and ending up getting out one day. but Petra I've had since she was a tiny dot and she doesn't want to leave her enclosure because she's lived her whole life in their
Tawny will most likely pop up for a while if left to her own business, I had a red bold female that lived in my room and hallway for over a year, her name was apple
Hi 👋
Wow I didn't think a little spider would be able to take down a cricket twice its size like that
I used to not really care for jumping spiders as they are a bit intimidating. Then I read that they actually are harmless to people and even prey on other spiders that are potentially harmful. So I'm hooked. Way-cool build.
I love Lucas the Spider on youtube, so it was great to see a real jumping Spider. I love your videos and your energy.
cute little guy :) I've got an orb weaver living by the front door under the porch light so she gets all the bugs, sometimes 3 or 4 a night! its been really cool to see her grow and molt, but I'm glad shes outside lol
I've always loved jumping spiders. The little ones like this never bite and they are fun to watch when they hunt. And yeah, that face is cute lol.
i miss my little jumping spider, found her on my bed one night and made up a vivarium for her. loved watching her eat, she was so adorable.
Tanner, I gotta say I’m loving the more fun and fancy free approach you’ve been taking in the last few months’ videos. You already seemed pretty relaxed before you started doing the funny stuff but now it feels like you’re truly having fun making your content. I hope that’s the case because there’s nothing more wonderful in a creator than their own joy and passion for what they do to make their channel come to life.
Hi bro 👋
Your profound love of nature is a lesson for us all. You are mindful even in what others would consider minor details, like returning leftover moss to the outdoors, rather than throwing it in the trash. ✌
I had a female bold jumper that lived with my tokay gecko for ages. She was just too small or too much trouble to hunt. I loved watching her snooze in her little spider hammock and hunt the evil fruit flies and fungus gnats that show up from time to time. Such cool spiders.
I absolutely love the jumping spider, they have the cutest little face.
jumping spiders are my favorite of any spider, you literally can train one. they aren't hostile and are very curious lil guys. when I'm at college almost every day I see a new one and get to play with it. hopefully you keep that lil one and maybe some more (:
"Dramatic reenactment" ... Its perfect
Awesome. You sure have an eye. I'm the same way. I'm fascinated by wild spiders, but don't care to keep any. Until I found Peter, my jumping spider. He's so adorable. Thanks.
I'm absolutely not a fan of spiders, but here in Florida we have these little black and white jumping spiders that I absolutely adore. The last time I made a terrarium in a gallon jar, it went through a pretty intense fungus fly infestation, and I really regret not throwing in one of those little jumping spiders that were watching eagerly from outside the jar on my patio table
Always cool to see Serpa using critters for his builds. I hope spider-bro enjoys his new home!
I got one myself they are so interactive. Took him like 2 feedings to know hey its dinner time. So smart!!
11:52 They way they drum their little pedipalps is the cutest thing ever.
I'm not trying to sound rude or anything, just informational!
When you first let the spider in and said it was already making a web, it actually wasn't. ;w;
Jumping spiders place web down no matter where they go! This way if they fall/don't make the jump, they can climb back up on the line of web. When it does start making its web, it's actually pretty funny. Rather than occasionally dropping a stirng, they wiggle side to side like it's a little dance!
This gave me great inspiration for a new enclosure. I've owned 4 previous jumping spiders(They've passed by now) and I currently own #5(Frankie Jr, named after my first spider) and #6(Birdie, we found her on the bird feeder outside and didn't want the birds to eat her.).
Thank you for making this video!
Doing my best Yoda imitation......... "An artist, you are." No, really, your work is art Bro. Thanx for sharing.
Really nice, simple and clean build! Jumping spiders are my favorite spider not only because of their cute look but they can be kept as pets and even trained! If you ever see one on your windowsill, try to slowly put your hand out and see if it will jump on you, adorable!
That jumping spider puppet was too cute.
I’m not really into spiders, but I think you got me hooked.
That terrarium looks beautiful but it's WAY to small for a jumping spider!
I thought that at the beginning too, but at the last only u get to see how small the spider is...
@@cineroustit But they like to move a lot.
Seconding this as someone who keeps a few dozen arachnids. 8x8x12 is a much better size for Phidippus audax.
Yeah the enclosure has no depth
Bold jumpers such as this need room to.. well, be bold! They like a bit more space to ping about
He can seriously make the most simple things look so good I love it!
where I live, the weather is very hot, so my room has its windows open 24/7 during summer, so I get lots of these, they catch mosquitoes, so I let them hang out inside... I used to always try to get them outside, but I've grown to love them. Great build !!
I love those lil guys! As a mechanic, I'll have them on customer bikes all the time. If you make your hand look like a spider, and throw your fingers up at it, it will mimic you 😂 it throws its front legs up to make it look bigger
You’re way overdue for an animal room update. Would love to see how all of your latest projects are doing
I second this
They are my favorite spiders. Soooo funny and for such a small spider they have huge personalities!! I play with the ones in my garden all the time!! Thanks for the inspiration Tanner. Maybe Ill keep one over winter and let it go in the spring. 🥰
I'm glad more people are displaying inverts. You should try a roach tank. So many people keep their invert collections in boring shoe boxes but most work as display animals.
It’s amazing that you made enclosure for a jumping spider they are so adorable and so small it is crazy you made one because people do not consider them pets
Our home is also the home
to quite a few spiders with
several of them being of
the jumping varsity.
I couldn’t imagine
caging them, until I
watched the video.
this reads like an epic poem
Dude I think your space bar is broken, it seems to send a line break instead of space every once in a while 😆
I would love to see you try an orchid mantis setup using smaller epifite orchids I just think you could do something amazing 👍
My orchid mantis baby died after 2 weeks, my chinese female (Avery) is now full grown and my baby african (still unnamed) just molted this morning, not sure why the orchid died, he was eating well and looked very lively. I think the orchid had a molting issue. 😔
Jumping spiders are my second favourite spiders after tarantulas and they are very intelligent and cute spiders.
This was awesome. No phobia triggered watching this little character. I really would enjoy setting up an enclosure and keeping one of these!
Serpa Squad will hit 1mil this year!
He's definitely going to hit 1 Million! I'm almost at 1K.... :)
Aaaa please do some tarantula scapes, I love how you're starting to get into inverts, it would be awesome to see your take on some arboreal tarantulas, or even some fossorial ones!
Loved how you walked through this simple yet elegant build for the spider. Keep it up, Tanner!
And the awards for best acting and special effects in a short feature goes to . . . Serpa Design!
You found it on long grass like plants so I think you should have put a bit of that in there too. Lush little arachnid 🕷️🕸️🕷️💕
Jumping spiders are adorable and very friendly. P.S. I needed this type of video (an easy to do build)
This was a super cute little enclosure for a super cute jumping spider! I admire your work and how skilled you are at making these little ecosystems and terrariums, they're also very relaxing to watch
I just found this channel and my 12 year old self would have been over the moon about this sort of thing!
I grew up in Florida and Phidippus Regius/Regal jumping spider have always been one of my favorite spiders. I used to have two Regals as pets awhile back.
Good job Tanner ! Love this spider vivarium. Glad you made one that we all can make instead of those huge and expensive ones. Greetings from Wolf of central Florida.
Cool build! I really like jumping spiders and we get to see them a lot in the garden at my hometown. I had even made a video on a jumping spider sometime back.
I didn't know Jumping Spiders could even catch prey that large wow! A very nice build I gotta say. She/He will feel right at home!
The dramatic recreation is beautiful 😂❤️
you’re so talented at doing all of these works, i really hope you keep up your relaxing videos. Good work man!
Hi bro 👋
Love the "dramatic reenactment"! I used to keep a couple jumping spiders (very similar to P. audax; I had P. regius) and I work in a lab that studies and houses spiders, and they are such interesting little critters. Here's some fun facts that I hope will help you out in caring for your little guy! I think you actually have a male spider, since females tend to have rounder and bigger abdomens. They also appreciate more horizontal enclosures (as others have mentioned) so that they can jump around, and in a similar vein need a little more room to move around since they are active hunters and explorers (which others also mentioned in terms of upgrading him to a bigger enclosure). I also noticed that jumping spiders like to have a little hidey hole to escape to once in a while if they get startled or feel threatened, and will make a little web nest in it to sleep or hide, so it might be nice to include a small cave-like area in your build (maybe some rocks or those botanical pods you have). It's also good that you are housing him in a slightly humid vivarium, as they need some humidity to properly molt to grow -- if they get stuck in their molt they will sadly perish. I hope you can incorporate some of these tips for your little guy! Looking forward to the next build as always! :)
The mantis bit was hilarious!
I was secretly hoping the jumping spider would jump on him when he was trying to move it into it’s new home!! (Lucky spider- it really won the Golden Ticket of all spiders, especially being a hitchhiker!!🙂🙂🙂)
Great vid! I love jumping spiders. . . the way that they move is adorable.
I'm also kinda vibing with the editing style in this video. I'm no expert, but I can say that I loved the lighting, as well as the more personal approach to the narration. Gave it a really lighthearted atmosphere, which matches the jumping spider perfectly! Good job as always, keep it up!
She's so cute! I really loved this build and the more intimate style of this video. What are you going to feed her?
Looks like crickets in the video
You really have elevated your video game congratulations the quality is awesome.
So funny and gentle to make an attractive vivarium for a tiny spider. You the man!
Bad people: *kills spider*
Good people: *releases spider*
Tanner: *makes spider its own home*
please make a bigger encloser for her this is too small.
How much space does a jumping spider need?
Space does matter, you want to give them ample space to move around like they do in their natural habitat. You can prepare a container of at least 1 cubic foot in size for each spider. 1 cubic foot is at least a 28 liters or 7-gallon tank.
The tank definitely should be larger but 7 gallons…. Come on now, i dont blame anyone for not giving a spider the size of a finger nail a 7 GALLON tank lmao😂💯
@@ptg6202 That's what my first google search said I am no expert but if I am capturing one in a box just by feel I would like to give it as much space as I could.
I love his excitement and exuberance. 👍🏼
awe that lil guy is SO adorable. got a nice new home and gormet meals
I keep thinking, if it is a jumping spider and if it is confined, it will hit it's head or body every time it jumps. Why keep the spider confined? Free the spider. 🕷
You clearly have some misconceptions about jumping spiders. They use precise jumps for Hunting mainly. They occasionally use jumping to move from one object to another but thats it. This setup though is just too small for their natural behaviour of exploring their perimeter.
When it jumps it will be aiming to land on the top or walls of the enclosure, they don’t collide randomly with things
@@admiraladmirable4532 actually, I had no conceptions about jumping spiders. I know nothing about them. Thank you for enlightening me on the subject.
I don’t like any animals, fish or insects kept in a cage or aquarium. I did not search out this channel. It just showed up in my feed.
@@dianalynn6899 most animals kept in vivariums can live better than in the wild if done correctly
This is a beautiful scape but it seems too small for the spider. We would happily watch another video of a bigger enclosure so I encourage an upgrade
Jumping spiders don't actually need a bigger enclosure as they choose territories where they make their web and stick to the one spot. This is the same for a lot of spiders.
This is indeed too small for a jumper. They are known to utilize much larger spaces for hunting. Even for one who sets up in the corner, they will still utilize the space. These spiders have incredible eyesight and stunning cognitive skills, so navigating larger spaces is like their bread and butter.
Get a magnifier to look at them as well, they are so amazing up close, like they have a little face and real personality's. My favourite spider by a mile.
I’ve had a jumping spider living on my ceiling and I’m considering adopting him
The insect containers seem small. I would just set it free.
This is a very good looking display for a small plant but not good habitats for a living, moving creature like a curious jumping spider. The myth that a mantis will eat her partners head after mating came from abnormal behavior observed in those stressed and captive in labs. I agree with the other comments - the containers you keep your bugs in are much too small.
Sexual cannibalism is not a myth.
It may occur more frequently in captivity, but it also depends on the females' diets.
Well-fed females are less likely to cannibalize their mates than hungry ones.
@@ErebosGR yes, that wasn't the best way for me to phrase it. The myth part is the idea that it's a normal/frequent behavior
The dramatic reenactment! Im terrified of spiders but I was able to keep 2 jumping spiders. Theyre just cute lol. I really liked this style video. Dont get me wrong I absolutely love your cinematic videos but this is just a mix up. Have a great day
The most casual build on the channel
Sorry but I'm not a fan of this one. I see our jumping spider move around in an area about 6x12 feet, about a quarter of the size of the room. This tank is tiny. 😢
Is this a joke?
Ridiculous and overkill for such a small spider. You’ll barely see it and just have an empty looking display. The whole point was to also be able to see it easily.
I think the tank needs to be wider. It's really thin and the background made it thinner.
A someone who has raised jumping spiders for years, you are completely incorrect. Too large of an enclosure and they can have trouble finding their food during feedings, along with you never not being able to see them in a large enclosure.
Not a joke, not a pet and not in an enclosure. It just happens to live in the room with us. I'm saying that its natural movements take it over a large area. I'm sure Tanners spider would prefer more space.
All bad for the jumper Do not keep him in that it's to small!!! The glue is not good for him unlesss you let it set for a week... you should be useing aquarium silicone. You should be doing your research before getting into a project like this it is unfair on the spiders life.
HAHAHA Makeing is web... It's called a safety line, so if it falls it can catch it self.
@good4209 how does it feel seeing that no one gave a crap about your "know it all" comment
Spiders can be such fascinating beautiful creatures. I used to be so terrified of them until I started watching videos of their behaviors and natural instincts. They really are just little animals. Such a beautiful little home you've made for it.
I like this one allot for its simplicity, feels like a desktop vivarium which is great.
Don’t like spiders but was fascinated watching this video
At the beginning of 2022 I noticed this tiny jumping spider living in between my two windows. It was around 5 milimeters long and the cutest thing to observe. I even took some pics with my phone's shitty macro camera. I'm a bit arachnophobic, so I was glad I could look at it through the glass and not be afraid of it jumping at me lol. I haven't seen the little dude in a few months and I miss him dearly
Yinz got me convinced! I’m going to go looking for some Jumping spiders this spring and summer and create some amazing little worlds for them. Been binge watching tons of ‘spood’ videos since seeing this build.
Thanks as always!
Wow you did a great job on this vivarium! Beautiful work! The moss was a great touch and I love the background paper and cork. The tree was elegant and simple. Making me want to make my own.
I love jumping spiders. They're so cute!
Spiders are amazing. I used to be phobic of them but now I own some tarantulas myself. They amaze me now. I love watching them build their webs/hides and how they clean out their old molts and when they hunt for food and so on. I never could've guessed how interesting behaviours they have.
You are a nature God!
Jumping spiders have the most character in the arachnid line
Jumping spiders are so cute like puppies!
this is actually one of the coolest builds i’ve seen
I didn’t know jumping spiders could eat a cricket that big! Im not much of a spider person either but they’re my favorite spiders, they’re so cute and brave.
i love how he added beautiful music to the taping of black paper
