Habitat of phidippus cruentus (jumping spider)? Any info on it?

[Blizz]

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding any info about my phiddipus cruentus I want to set up a nice enclosure and I have some sand and I was wondering if it's fine to use it.

Do they need a humid enclosure?

Hi there, so hopefully someone more versed with P. cruentus comes along, but I would say the sand is ok to use - I add some sand into my P. regius enclosures. Might be a good idea to add a little bit of dirt (around 1/8 to a 1/4) to your sand mixture just to make sure it does hold some humidity as you probably don't want it to be completely arid, especially around molting time. I would just make sure to spray a side of the enclosure for water when it needs.
Hopes this helps some. Im so jealous you have a P. cruentus

Is the papertowel just a temporary substrate? Just a warning but that will eventually cause bacteria growth if you don't change it everyday. I use eco earth and a bit of sand for my substrate.
Oh wow!! I wish I could get one here in the states, you're so lucky
