well, H.lividum needs burrowing space. so ideally a tall enclosure (at least 8in substrate) would be fine with enough top space to roam around when hunting for a meal.

And she is really aggressive
yes, they do have an attitude. they rather stay and defend its space than run.

i think she might need a deeper and wider enclosure.. if shes able to dig deeper then when u take the lid off she might not shove her fangs in ur face as much... i herd most people onl see their h.lividums at night
and am i right in thinking substrate is moist/damp not 'wet'

Substrate looks too wet, and yes I'd get a much bigger enclosure

The only solution to an aggressive H. lividum is to not own an H. lividum, sorry. They're pretty much some of the nastiest tempers out there and there's nothing you can do about it. Pretty spiders, though. :)

That space is pretty cramped for her. You should try a bigger and deeper tank for that meanie. To get her in just put the container in the new tank and then open it, then close the tank. :D
