Guess the enclosure is rather way too large for this tiny spider. I will have to see how it webs up first to see whether to rehouse it or to keep it as it is.

Whilst the enclosure is massive I'd imagine your little one will find the leaves and then start putting down web. Drop prey onto that and bam!!!!!!!

What's your ventilation like?

One problem you might have is the lid. Although I doubt the little one will web all the way to the top fast it definitely will happen. Probably will have moulted a few times before that happens though and will be too big to fit through the gaps.

No ventilations. Opening top lid time to time would just work fine, for now.

You’re right. I am fully aware of it. The reason why I did not do any ventilation holes.

No, my bad. I thought the green slatted lid was the top but I can see now that the top is attached and clear.
I used my soldering iron on low and made tiny little holes for my Linothele fallax that came as a tiny, tiny sling. Obviously whilst the enclosure was empty.

Oh, I see! Now I fully understand why you said that.
