Jumping Spider Enclosures Reviewed: The Best of 2025

Owning a jumping spider is one of the most unexpectedly rewarding experiences I’ve had. These tiny, curious creatures are adorable. But keeping them happy and healthy starts with the right enclosure. After trying several types of pet jumping spider enclosures, here’s what I’ve learned about what really matters — and how the most popular enclosures on the market stack up.

A common mistake new spider owners make is assuming a huge enclosure means a happier spider. In my experience, that is not the case. Jumping spiders – like the popular Phidippus regius – prefer a more, cozy space and have a preference of vertical spaces over wide sprawling set ups. The height satisfies their love of climbing, where they will perch and watch, yet still feel secure.

Proper airflow can also make or break a jumping spider enclosure. Too much humidity can make your spider unwell. Humidity or stagnant air can lead to Mold, mites or respiratory issues. A Spider enclosure with cross ventilation or holes on at least two sides, ideally four, will allow fresh air to circulate.

When looking for an enclosure make sure that there is easy access to the jumping spider cage for misting, cleaning and feeding.  A front door with a secure latch is my preference over a removable lid that can be very disruptive to your spider.

Don’t forget your Jumping spider pet is a tiny acrobat – quick, curious and capable of squeezing through very small gaps. An ideal Jumping Spider Enclosure for sale should have no more than 1mm gap tolerances and must seal tightly when closed. I’ve had a scare or two trusting a flimsy lid.

Glass Jumping Spider Enclosures with Mesh Vent Holes

This terrarium impressed me with its stainless steel mesh vents that offer great airflow while still keeping the interior environment stable. The front-opening door latch was easy to use and felt very secure to ensure no unwanted escapes. The vertical space is generous too, which any spider can fully take advantage of for web building and perch hopping.

That being said, glass enclosures do require a little more planning to handle the humidity to keep your spider safe. There is no built-in mist drainage, so I learnt quickly to spray only a light mist and add a moisture-absorbing layer such as moss or paper towel underneath the décor. Once you have this set up, you will have a very stable environment
