When they are that small they can / will eat Fruit flies, roach legs or cricket legs, she could take down a tiny pinhead cricket.
What I like to do when I have only one or two tiny slings. I'll leave a small slice of fruit out and collect a few maggots from fruit flies. They eat them right up.
The only pinheads I can pick up local, you have to buy a box of 30 (so that's a waste) a whole culture of fruit flies is a waste too. I'll also toss them in a leg here and there. After a few feedings it will be able to take down a new born roach.
I'd be worried holding a super small one like that ha I'm clumsy

Haha. You have to sit very still. When I was transferring the Red Rumps, one shot up the paintbrush, up my hand and up my arm. My GF had to help me find it and get it into a spot I could catch it :p

Ahhh :(
Charlotte keeps getting all defensive when I try to go in her cage
I'm pretty sure he's a jumping spider because of his eyes but not really 100% sure.

Yeah that's some type of Jumper. They are almost always hairy with a flat little face.
I had a bunch over the summer lay sacs for me. If you keep it, they are awesome to watch. They will stalk and hunt their prey. :)

Well it wasn't bad. He came out and ran around the outside of his new home. After a few minutes he went inside. By the time I grabbed my phone he was down in his hide.
I gotta extra ten gallon with the screen top would that work for a rose hair they have them at pet co bout size of my fist. The top is one that you twist the screw things and it tightens

That will work.
Personally I would get a sling so you can watch it grow. A Rose Hair that size is going to be pretty old. If its a male, his next molt could be his final molt.
Just something to think about.

Well as it seems a great fellow has offered to help me out with a sling!! ;) haha I have the perfect spot for a T cage that's in perfect view. Now it's time to wait patiently and get everything set. Do I need a uth? My rooms temp is set to 80 at the normal

:D
80* is good. If I remember right, a Chilean rose is good between 75-85*
My T room stays right around 80-82* and they are doing great. No UTH needed.

Is it normal that Charlotte hasn't molted? :/

Yeah. At that size and age, she might only molt once a year if that.
