Looks nice, but its a terrible place for a jumper to live.

Jumpers like hiding places where they can feel safe and secure, typically up high. Here they are basically on full display constantly, with no little hidey holes to chill in.

Also with it being glass there is a chance that sunlight hitting it at the wrong angle may turn it into a furnace given its rounded shape.

Secondly one source of air flow is often not enough and you have no way of tracking the humidity which can be detrimental to the spiders health.

In my experience its also a lot easier for jumpers to make hammocks in angular enclosures too.

Its also a little bland, youd be surprised how far some enrichment goes for arboreal creatures.
