Red Backed Jumping Spider – Sling (Phidippus carneus)

Looking for a jumping spider with a little flare? Say hello to the Phidippus carneus, better known as the Red Backed Jumping Spider.

This eye-catching species features bold red markings along its back — a unique contrast to the classic jumpers most hobbyists know. While still relatively uncommon in the pet trade, P. carneus is gaining popularity for its vivid coloration, quirky behavior, and photogenic charm.

These slings are healthy, unsexed, and ready to grow into curious little predators. Like other Phidippus species, they thrive in vertical, well-ventilated enclosures and enjoy a varied diet of flighty feeders.
