So I'm pretty new to the spider thing. Decided to capture a baby house spider (Possibly T. Domestica, E. Atrica, or something similar) when I noticed I had a few in my bedroom walking around on the walls. At first I kept him in a plastic box for a couple days until I got something better. Then I moved him into a peanut butter jar that I cleaned and poked enough holes in. I'm still using the peanut butter jar, but after coming across multiple problems, I'm redesigning it.
For context, the problems I came across were, the leaves decaying from the small twig I put in. Soil sticking to the wall and absorbing water too well, and rocks being a little dangerous. Plus humidity was a bit of a problem.
To solve this I'm moving onto sand instead of soil, having a twig without leaves, and pipetting in small drops of water onto a small ball of cotton wool.
I just want to know if this is a good set up, and what more I could do. This is only temporary until he grows bigger, as currently he less than 1cm in size, and would escape the terrariums you could buy.
