About Us
Welcome to AK Spood and Company, where love for jumping spiders turns into something a little wild — and a whole lot wonderful.
We’re a small, passionate business based in Alaska, dedicated to raising healthy, happy jumping spiders and connecting them with responsible keepers across the U.S. Whether you're a first-time spider parent or a seasoned spood enthusiast, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
What We Do
We specialize in breeding Phidippus regius, Phidippus otiosus, and other beautiful, unique species of jumping spiders — including selective color lines and ethically planned hybrids. Every spider is raised with care, handled often, and given everything they need to thrive before heading to their new homes.
Alongside our live spiders, we also offer:
-
Safe, thoughtfully designed enclosures
-
Handmade spider accessories
-
Care guides, tips, and beginner-friendly support
-
Seasonal and species-specific products
-
Upcoming: eBooks, stickers, and educational content!
Our Values
-
Animal-first always: We don’t cut corners. Each spider’s health and well-being come first, no matter what.
-
Education over ego: Whether you're brand new or experienced, we believe in building a community where everyone can learn and grow.
-
Ethical breeding: All pairings are done with care, documentation, and intention. No mass production — just well-raised spoods from a home that loves them.
Why “AK Spood and Company”?
We’re based in Alaska (AK), and around here, we affectionately call our jumpers “spoods.” The “& Company” part? That’s you — the spider parents, the bug nerds, the curious shoppers, the first-timers, the collectors. You’re part of what makes this special.
Thank You
Whether you’re buying your first jumping spider or just browsing, we’re truly glad you’re here. AK Spood and Company isn’t just a business — it’s a community built on trust, care, and a shared love of tiny leaping spiders with big personalities.
Let’s make your spider journey a fun one.
