Default Trapdoor spiders

Hi i wanted to find out if anyone has ever had any experience with these as i am looking into getting one off of the spider shop website. I would like to know a bit about housing and requirements. Thanks in advance.

a tub and some substrate, thats it, cos it'll bury itself and you'll never see it .

Heat mat will be fine when its cold. At the minit mine aren't on a heat mat as they are in a heated cabinet with my slings , as they don't like the light. I spray the substrate every few days as they don't come out to use a water dish.

Not kept em myself, was slapped by bex for thinking of getting one as literally you will NEVER see it, not even when its eating. Also never get bitten by one.
