Yea, I was planning to add a hide and water dish.
I'm curious as to why you are waiting to add these things. Even if you don't have the enclosure ready for it yet you could still give it a water dish and a small piece of cork bark in what you have it in now. You can also feed it, you don't have to wait.

Well, I’m going to buy a piece of cork bark and use a bottle cap for the water (probably gonna throw a few pebbles in it to avoid drowning). As for feeding, I just wanted it to build a web first but I suppose I can feed it once it leaves it’s little hole.

You don't need to put pebbles in the water dish, slings won't drown and it just breeds bacteria. You can feed it while it's in it's hole, mine just had a mound of dirt before it's last molt and I just put a disabled roach on top of the mound( it does need to wiggle a bit) and the mound of dirt would rise up and swallow the roach. Never even saw the spider, funny to watch. Same thing with my P. lugardi.
