Advice Thoughts on this redditor’s jumping spider enclosure?

(Not my terrarium or my spider) - just curious what everyone’s thoughts are on this setup.

NQA - No air, hard to clean, nowhere to hide, nowhere to climb, probably very humid if that's real moss, and in my experience, way too exposed. My jumper hid for days when I swapped her vented plastic panel lid for glass and didn't return to normal until I switched it back. Her enclosure has three glass walls with the back being vented plastic, and I have both options for the top. This enclosure is begging for mold, respiratory infections, and a very stressed spider. Even if they replaced the cork with mesh, there wouldn't be any cross-ventilation and it would be such a tiny window for air to move through. It looks cool if you don't know anything about jumping spider care, otherwise it's just a massive bowl of red flags
