    jumping spider enclourse size

    I use a 4 x 4 x 7 or the smaller one on my site, they cannot escape & the screen is stainless stell. I feed my spiders blue bottle flies or house flies, they seem to be fine with this diet. I sometimes put in pupae so they hatch within a few days, which gives me a feeding break.

    Water bowls vs humidity

    I dont know but maybe the worm dish would help, water wont spill out. Here is what they look like, they have a clear lid on top, used so worms and thing can't crawl out, but dont think it will deter a spider. https://www.mantisplace.com/product-page/worm-water-dish-small
