Anyone keeping D. crocata?

I've always been captivated by D. crocata, partly because of their massive chelicerae, and I'd love to keep one, but I believe in research first. That being said if anyone has experience, any help would be great, especially enclosure ideas. Thanks in advance!

I've never had any, but i know how to keep them. Give them nice, damp substrate and many places to hide, feed it isopods about hald it's size about one to two times a week and you'll be all set.

Yep, basically what he said above haha. I have kept them a few times, sometimes they burrow in the damp substrate and make a little sleeping bag like area and stay there for a while so you might not always see it. As their name suggests, they love isopods, pretty easy in my opinion
