Gothic Spirit Tree Hide

Gothic Spirit Tree Hide | Magnetic Jumping Spider Hide

Add a touch of ancient, eerie elegance to your enclosure with the Gothic Spirit Tree Hide. Sculpted to resemble a weathered ancient tree with the face of a Tree Spirit emerging from the bark, this haunting centrepiece blends gothic aesthetics with functional design — specifically crafted for Phidippus species and their keepers. Part of the Gothic Range, it pairs perfectly with the Batty Coffin Hide, Chalice Water Bowl, and Black Sparkly Shelf.

Dark Design, Intelligent Function

• The Spirit’s Maw Hide: The deep, cavernous mouth of the tree spirit provides a naturalistic, darkened bore-hole style hide — mimicking the hollows that Phidippus regius and P. audax seek out in the wild for building their thick silken hammocks.
• Concealed Magnetic Base: A hidden, high-strength magnet in the base snaps perfectly to the floor of our custom Coffin Enclosures, keeping the tree upright and secure even during active hunting.
• Gothic Craftsmanship: Every ridge of bark and furrow of the spirit’s brow is intricately detailed — looks stunning under both natural light and LED setups.
• Spider-Safe Materials: Crafted from non-toxic, moisture-resistant PLA. Safe for all life stages of your jumping spider.

Product Specifications

Keeper’s Note: The real magic happens when your spider claims the spirit’s mouth as its own. The elevated position and enclosed feel provide the ultimate sense of security for your jumper, encouraging natural nesting behaviours. Most Phidippus species will establish their hammock here within a few days.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will my jumping spider use the tree hide?
Yes — the mouth-entry cavity mimics the natural bore-holes that Phidippus regius and P. audax seek out in the wild. The elevated, enclosed position makes it highly attractive for nesting and moulting. Most spiders claim it within a few days.

Does this only work with the Coffin Enclosure?
The magnetic base is optimised for our custom Coffin Enclosures, where it snaps to the floor for a perfectly upright, secure fit. It may also work in other enclosures with a flat magnetic surface — contact us if you’re unsure about compatibility.

Is the PLA safe in a humid enclosure?
Yes — our PLA is moisture-resistant and won’t warp, rot, or harbour mould at the humidity levels typical of a jumping spider enclosure.

What other Gothic Range products does this pair with?
The Spirit Tree Hide is designed to complement the Batty Coffin Hide, Gothic Chalice Water Bowl, Black Sparkly Shelf, and Black Sparkly Rope Bridge. Grab everything together in the Gothic Bundle.

Can I use this outside of a gothic-themed enclosure?
Absolutely — the weathered bark aesthetic also works beautifully in naturalistic and woodland-themed setups. It’s a versatile centrepiece that suits any enclosure where a dramatic focal point is welcome.
