Happy H. carolinensis in Reptizoo 8" x 8" x 12" tall. Full burrow and turret with platform, this one doesn't need more substrate ;) The back left corner will be getting baby maple trees. Moss, local grass and springtails, I think she'd eat isopods...
I thought mine would eat isopods, but it never did. Eventually we she passed, the isopods ending up eating her before I realized she passed. So thats the story of how I started to keep isopods.

Dubia ate the grass, this spider sucks at catching them. No patience at all, it will drop them when they stop moving for like 3 seconds and walk away. I did throw some small A. maculatum in there at one point, not sure if it ate them or not, I'll know eventually, it matured out male. I just collected him a female and I found another juvie too, I really love these spiders it sucks they aren't long lived, they are all gonna bum me out. sorry about yours.

Their lifespan is a bummer. It was a great experience, though! It was my first invert I kept permanently (before was lightening bugs and crickets and such for a few hours in a jar as a kid) and I thought she was already on her final molt due to her size, but she actually molted once with me and stuck around for a few more months. I wanted to pin her, but alas, isopods will be isopods and they did their job first.
