<pclass="lede">Jumping spiders are some of the most rewarding inverts to keep. Here's the short version — a full printable care sheet is one scan away.</p>
</div>
<divclass="grid care__grid">
<divclass="care__card reveal">
<divclass="care__num">01</div>
<h3>Enclosure</h3>
<p>Go vertical and well-ventilated. Slings (i3–6) do great in a 3×3" cube; adults enjoy a roomy front-opening enclosure with cork bark, fake leaves and a hammock up top. Give them a "playground" — they love to climb and explore.</p>
</div>
<divclass="care__card reveal">
<divclass="care__num">02</div>
<h3>Substrate & Falls</h3>
<p>Line the floor with soft <b>sphagnum moss</b> (or another reptile-safe moss). It holds a little humidity and gives a soft landing in case your jumper takes a tumble.</p>
</div>
<divclass="care__card reveal">
<divclass="care__num">03</div>
<h3>Temperature & Humidity</h3>
<p>Room temperature (72–82°F) suits most homes. Keep humidity moderate — mist one side a few times a week, never soak. Bump humidity a little higher around molts.</p>
</div>
<divclass="care__card reveal">
<divclass="care__num">04</div>
<h3>Feeding</h3>
<p>Slings love <em>hydei</em> fruit flies. <b>Peanut beetle larvae (PBL)</b> are a newer, excellent feeder. Larger jumpers take appropriately sized crickets or BSFL. Offer a fresh feeder every few days.</p>
</div>
<divclass="care__card reveal">
<divclass="care__num">05</div>
<h3>Molting</h3>
<p>Molts are critical at <b>i5 and i7</b> — raise humidity a touch and do not disturb. Your jumper will seal into its hammock and fast. This is normal. Never pull them out.</p>
</div>
<divclass="care__card reveal">
<divclass="care__num">06</div>
<h3>After a Molt</h3>
<p>Wait a few days after your jumper leaves its hammock before feeding — their fangs need to harden first. Then resume normal feeding and enjoy their fresh new colors.</p>

<h2>A small keeper who loves these little jumpers.</h2>
<pclass="lede">Storm Cloud Jumpers is a tiny, hands-on operation. Our mamas are wild-caught <em>Phidippus</em> who breed a single time and then spend their short lives as devoted mothers — so every baby we place is truly <b>captive raised</b>.</p>
<p>We raise each sling by hand, feed them well, and only send jumpers with a healthy body shape out the door. Big breeders charge a premium — we'd rather keep these charming spiders affordable and get them into caring homes.</p>
<ulclass="bullets">
<li><b>Captive raised</b>, never wild-collected for sale.</li>
<li><b>Honest descriptions</b> — real photos of the actual lines.</li>
