haha. Massexodus is right you will need more,many, many more!! Create space lots of it!!
Kaz, just some friendly advice, remember to keep air flowing through there, if you need to add more ventilation for yours, don't hesitate to put her in a catch cup and redo her house. They aren't delicate, but if their enclosures are too stuffy or wet, it will kill them. These guys need fresh air to thrive. Just a reminder, I'm sure you know this already :) Oh, and there's a pretty interesting video by Michael Jacobi on youtube where he and some friends go looking for Avics in Suriname. Apparently they're like house spiders there, found on walls and in houses and under eaves, but are also found in rolled up leaves on the ground, and in trees of course. Interesting video, though it takes awhile to get to the good stuff. :rolleyes:

I remember :) It was just in case advice :) I'm just paranoid because I lost one, sorry :( But she was unhealthy from the start, so I don't really feel it's my fault.

I'm abit nervous I'm like is there enough ventilation, too much humidity too little. I'm just going to open the jar on a regular basis and not over do with the moisture!! Have filled the bowl and only over filled it slightly!! Cheers again though!! And sorry to hear about your loss!

To be fair, I think you're overthinking things a bit. Holes on the side of the enclosure for cross-ventilation, dry substrate, and a water dish that is kept full at all times. In the case of a sling, a bottle cap will do just fine.
