This build was pretty high on the request list as well as one I've been contemplating for a while. I had no intentions of doing it just yet, but this little jumping spider made its way home on those plants. I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to keep one and show you how I would do it.

I wanted to keep it simple, easy, and beautiful design to showcase the spider. Other than the substrate and plants, I've included links to all of the materials used to make the enclosure (nonaffiliate links) for your convenience.

I will, however, also leave some helpful links regarding how to mix up the substrate and moss collection. Note: I added charcoal/carbon to the mix I used in this vivarium. I would recommend including it to help keep the enclosure clean and moldfree.
