They have extraordinary eyesight. When they look at you - they are really looking at you. They are hunters, not ambush predators, and need a lot of room. They travel great distances in the wild. They also want to hide amongst leaf litter and stuff like that. They don't want to be exposed out in the open.
They do scavenge to some extent, in the wild, but would prefer their prey alive.
Long term... yes. If you are thinking of keeping them, then they need a lot more room. If they have burrowed, that is fine, but I would still put something in there to give it a littered appearance. If you have any smaller pieces of cork bark or something. Since they come from outside originally, you are safe to use items from outside as long as they are clean and not from a heavily sprayed area. They do not web.
In the wild, they will live and travel under forest litter - leaves and broken down trees and whatnot. They are masters of camouflage. That seems very bare to me for that species and they will be skittish as a result. They are fast little ones, but I have never seen them defensive... ever. I have never heard of even one person being bitten.
They are really wonderful little spiders.
