Just got this canopy jumper. I heard they need more humidity. I was hoping someone could help me with how much? Do I spray the enclosure twice a day? Should I put soil in the bottom instead to help? Any tips are greatly appreciated.

I kept Phidippus otiosus on the dryer side with no issue. Just make sure one side of the sub is damp but not soaking. I never set up an enclosure like yours, so not sure if this would work or not. Looks like the new-age jumping spider "Tarantula Kat" style setups, which I'm not use to. Not shaming you either for it, just never kept jumpers like this. Definitely would replace the moss on the bottom for soil, and leave a small bit of moss on top if you want extra humidity.

Thanks so much! I only used moss on the bottom cause I ran out of soil… I don’t love it either. I’m gonna go out and get some today.
It’s so funny you say that cause I don’t watch her videos, I usually stick to Tom Moran or Dave. Even then, I don’t watch too much YouTube.
