Bone Skull hide

Bone Skull Hide | Magnetic Jumping Spider Hide

Elevate your jumping spider's enclosure with a touch of macabre elegance. The Bone Skull Hide is a functional, high-vantage sanctuary designed specifically for the arboreal instincts of Phidippus species. Part of the Bone Range, it pairs perfectly with the Bone Rope Bridge, Bone Water Bowl, and Bone Shelf.

Key Features

• Matte Bone-Like Texture: Printed in premium Matte PLA, this hide eliminates the plastic shine of standard 3D prints. The realistic bone-like texture diffuses light beautifully and provides natural grip for tiny pedipalps.
• Mouth-Entry Retreat: The skull’s mouth serves as the entrance to a dark, secure cavern — mimicking the natural bore-holes that Phidippus regius and P. audax seek out in the wild for building their thick silken hammocks.
• Powerful Magnetic Mount: Dual high-strength neodymium magnets secure firmly through acrylic or glass up to 6mm thick. Reposition easily for cleaning or to find the perfect spot for your spider’s sunbathing.
• Spider-Safe PLA: PLA is a non-toxic, corn-based bioplastic — safe for all life stages of your jumping spider.

Product Specifications

Pro-Tip: Position the skull near a light source or a patch of silk plants to encourage your spider to establish their “home base” quickly. Most Phidippus species will claim a well-placed hide within a few days.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will my jumping spider actually use the skull hide?
Yes — jumping spiders instinctively seek out dark, enclosed spaces at height to build their sleeping hammocks. The mouth-entry design and elevated position make this hide particularly attractive to Phidippus regius and P. audax. Mount it near the top of the enclosure for best results.

Is the magnet strong enough for an active spider?
Absolutely — the dual neodymium magnets hold firmly through acrylic or glass up to 6mm thick. The hide will not slip or fall even with an active adult Phidippus regius inside.

Can I reposition the hide without disturbing my spider?
Yes — slide the external magnetic backing plate slowly along the outside of the enclosure wall. Always move slowly to avoid startling your spider.

Is Matte PLA safe in a humid enclosure?
Yes — our PLA is moisture-resistant and won’t warp or degrade at the humidity levels typical of a jumping spider enclosure. It’s also non-toxic and corn-based, making it one of the safest 3D printing materials available.
