Maratus griseus mature male captive bred with the APEX complete starter kit
Beginner friendly
Maratus griseus is a small but highly active species with an engaging personality and a strong feeding response. Their straightforward care requirements, hardy nature and frequent activity make them an excellent choice for keepers who are new to jumping spiders, while still being rewarding for experienced enthusiasts. Widely distributed throughout much of Australia, Maratus griseus can be found in a diverse range of habitats from suburban fences, walls and garden vegetation to natural bushland environments. This adaptability is reflected in captivity where they are typically confident, curious and regularly visible within their enclosure. This species exhibits considerable variation in adult size with mature individuals ranging from 4mm to 10mm in size. Maratus griseus is generally regarded as one of Australia’s most approachable and enjoyable species to keep.
