💡 Position the Moon Hide in a top corner near artificial foliage to create a naturalistic canopy entrance your spider won’t be able to resist. Jumping spiders instinctively seek out elevated, enclosed retreats — this hide replicates that perfectly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Moon Hide made from?
The Moon Hide is 3D printed using silk PLA — a high-quality, non-toxic filament with a pearlescent finish. It is lightweight, safe for use with invertebrates, and easy to clean.

Will the magnets hold on my enclosure?
Yes — the neodymium magnets provide a very strong hold on both glass and acrylic enclosures. The hide will not slip or slide under normal conditions. It is not recommended for mesh or fabric enclosure walls.

Is it suitable for all jumping spider species?
Yes — the Moon Hide is sized to suit juvenile through to adult jumping spiders, including all Phidippus regius locales, Phidippus otiosus, and Epeus sp. It is also suitable for other small arboreal invertebrates of a similar size.

Will my spider actually use it?
Almost certainly — jumping spiders are instinctive retreat-seekers and will naturally gravitate toward enclosed, elevated spaces. The smooth interior is ideal for anchoring silk, making it a favourite spot for sleeping hammocks and moulting retreats.

How do I clean it?
Simply remove the hide from the enclosure wall (the magnetic mount detaches easily), wipe the interior clean with a damp cloth, and reattach. The magnetic mount makes maintenance quick and hassle-free.

Is it safe to use during moulting?
Yes — the smooth, rounded interior provides an ideal moulting space. Many keepers find their spiders choose the Moon Hide specifically for moulting retreats, as it offers the enclosed, secure environment they instinctively seek during this vulnerable stage.
