Hi
I recently bought a trapdoor spider. I am curious as to what the species is and how I should go about caring for it.
Here is a photo of it

What species is it?
Based on what the dealer said about the spider, it shouldn't be too difficult. I have it in a small container with about 3 inches of peat moss. I see that it is burrowed into the peat moss, but I do not see a "door". Is that normal? I will likely add more peat moss when I find a taller container.
Anything else I should be aware of?
