This enclosure needs some work. Way too much height, your T may fall and die. No more than 1.5x the leg span of your T in space between the lid and the substrate. So if your T is 3 inches, the space should be no more than 4.5 inches, etc.
Bark is also not suitable, these Ts may still dig, bark does not allow for that.
as for ID, not sure from this distance, maybe Lasiodora sp.
truth be told the picture doesn't capture enough details to make a clear distinction between the two species, more likely than not it is a Lasiodora parahybana, which is a great spider by the way, even if people often snobbishly prefer their more "rare" cousins, Lasiodora klugi or Lasiodora difficilis
the best way to help you is to give you the tools to help yourself in my opinion, so i will give you some external links that might help you and that do not require careful reading of long discussions in on the arachnoboards:
if you really want to get into the meat of things, i suggest making a free account with the World Spider Catalog and checking the scientific descriptions there or browse the genus gallery for pictures of the species.
It would also help if you described why you assume it to be a Lasiodora klugi? Was it sold as such? etc.
It is true that your enclosure is not ideal for terrestrial spiders and you may seek to get some tips on how to set up more safely if you make a seperate post for it in the "Questions and Discussions" Part of the forum.
Do not take it personally if some of the responses can be quite harsh, we all have to start somewhere.
