Can you share pictures of the entire enclosure please?

As for feeding: once a week is sufficient.

You don't need to mist the enclosure, it doesn't do anything to help. Water dish, overflowed so there's in the substrate, is all you need

You're better off using a deli cup to house it for now. or a Tupperware container.
The ventilation slats have enough gap your Tarantula could squeeze through and escape (or at the very least try to and get stuck)

okay ima try to get a small enclosure
Simple deli cup is your best bet until it is a little bigger. You can get one free if you go buy some side items at the local deli.

Please, God.
Don't mist it.
Water dish with dry substrate.
Wet a corner once a week for slings.

I assume that you have a Ceratogyrus darlingi for a species. If this is your first T, please do some deep research on the husbandry of this Spider. They can be pretty fast and have known from time to time to be aggressive. It typically isn't a species that I would reccomend for a first time owner. But Whats done is done. So please do your due diligence and be prepared.

I would rehouse.
Deli cup or something similar.
Keep it dry. Moist corner once a week with water dish.
They are a lot of fun but all baboons become ungrateful at some point.
Enjoy it. They grow up so fast.
