FAQ & How to Adopt

Everything about ordering jumping spiders from Dallas Jumpers — how adoption works, shipping, guarantees, species, and everyday care questions.

How it works

Choose your spider

Browse our adoption center or homepage listings. Each spider includes personality notes, species info, and honest photos.

Complete your order

Add an optional $25 Enclosure Kit if you need one, enter shipping or pickup details, and confirm checkout.

Welcome home

We ship Monday through Wednesday via FedEx Priority Overnight. Your order doesn't always ship the day after you place it — shipments go out Monday through Wednesday in the order they were received, depending on how many orders are going out each shipping day. Once your spider ships, it arrives the day after it ships out. A printed care sheet is included.

Buying & ordering

Browse current inventory on our homepage or adoption center. Dallas Jumpers also lists on MorphMarket. Order with optional habitat kits, FedEx Priority Overnight shipping ($40 TX / $50 US), or free local pickup in the Dallas area.
We breed Phidippus regius (regal), P. arizonensis (Arizona), P. apacheanus (Apache), P. carolinensis (Carolina), P. mystaceus (high eyelashed), and Paraphidippus fartilis. Regal and Arizona jumpers are our most popular picks for beginners.
Yes. Every spider we sell is born and raised by us in the Dallas area with honest listing photos — never taken from the wild.
Every adoption includes the spider and a printed care sheet. You can optionally add our $25 Enclosure Kit — a 3×3×6 inch tank, cork bark, mist bottle, and months' worth of buffalo beetle larvae (food for your spider). Jumpers do not need bedding on the floor. Feeder care →

Shipping & guarantees

We ship exclusively via FedEx Priority Overnight ($40 in Texas, $50 elsewhere) in insulated, ventilated containers with temperature gel packs when needed. All shipments include a live arrival guarantee. If your spider arrives dead on arrival (DOA) and your claim is approved, we send a replacement of the same species and sex at no charge for the spider — you pay standard shipping ($40 TX / $50 elsewhere) for the replacement.

Yes — most US states via FedEx Priority Overnight with insulated packaging and a live arrival guarantee. Hawaii and Alaska are excluded. Florida has state rules about which spider species can be shipped in — we can send Phidippus regius, P. apacheanus, and P. mystaceus, but not P. arizonensis, P. carolinensis, or Paraphidippus fartilis. Contact us before ordering to Florida. Full shipping restrictions →

Beginners & care

Phidippus regius (regal jumping spider) and Phidippus arizonensis (Arizona jumping spider) are tough, curious, and great for first-time owners. See our Start Here guide for species picks and day-one supplies.
Young jumpers eat small fruit flies. Adults move up to small crickets, mealworms, or blue bottle flies. We include a feeding guide with every spider order. Feeding guide →
Most species live 1–2 years. Females typically outlive males. We usually sell young adults (almost fully grown) so you can enjoy them at their most active and colorful stage.
Yes! Each listing notes the sex. If you have a preference not shown, mention it in your order notes or contact us — we'll do our best to accommodate.
