Unfortunately, my Hogna helluo passed a few weeks ago. She carried an egg sac until she had babies. She died shortly afterwards. But I had her set up in a two gallon acrylic with a wooden hutch, coco fiber and vermiculite mixed, and a small water dish surrounded by moss. She seemed very happy. She was HUGE so guessing she was at the end of the road when I acquired her. Definitely going to pick up another one in the Spring. Great species!
